Check out our online reviews. Our customers say it best (-:
The numbers are staggering. Estimates are that 50 percent of all first-time marriages end in divorce, 67 percent of second marriages end in divorce, and 74 percent of third marriages fail. Obviously, getting married a third-time is not a good idea!
Now here is my idea: Could Roadtreks save marriages? Think about it. You literally have a second residence sitting in your driveway, with a kitchen, bathroom and shower. When things get too tense with the spouse, instead of hanging around waiting to say something you’ll regret for the rest of your life (and you know eventually you will), you can head to your class b van until cooler heads prevail.
You probably won’t be there long, but even if you are, you have all the comforts of home. There is even an entertainment center with an optional flat screen TV. You can really spend hours in a Roadtrek for some quiet comfort.
I once knew a woman who, while preparing dinner, pulled a frozen pot roast from the crock pot and chucked it across the dining room at her husband! If they had had a Roadtrek, the incident could have been avoided as well as the knot on his head.
When I was married, my wife and I argued almost every night about what to watch – the really important ballgame (and aren’t they all important?) or her boring soap opera that she recorded while at work. It’s an argument I lost almost every night. With a Roadtrek, you can just give in, let her watch what she wants, and catch the game in comfort.
Roadtreks also help marital bliss when on the road. Instead of being stuck side by side for long trips, one can drive while the other plays video games, reads a book or listens to music. This means no more back seat driving and we all know how stressful that can be.
I realize when you all first started reading this, you probably thought I was crazy. Maybe now not so much though, eh?

A friend of mine was lamenting the perils of travel the other day.
“I like the idea of taking the family on vacation, but it’s such a pain. The kids get bored so easily, and their whining drives me crazy. Then there is the in and out of hotels every night, eating in strange restaurants three times a day, high gas prices, it’s just not worth it.”
“You don’t have to worry about any of that in a Roadtrek” I told him.
“A what?”
They say that ignorance is bliss, but not in this case. The Roadtrek 210-Versatile offers comfort, style and versatility to make those long road trips a breeze for the entire family.
There are so many advantages to the 210-Versatile. Two swiveling captain’s seats and two forward facing lounge seats provided belt seating for four up front. Pivot the seats and with the cloverleaf dining table, you are ready for whatever comes up; dinner, conversation, or an evening of games.
Enjoy the comfort of home in the L-shaped lounge at the back, which is versatile as well. Watch a movie with the optional flat screen TV and DVD player, or get caught up on your rest in the comfortable queen size bed. The 210-Versatile provides a comfortable sleeping space without losing the four up front seats.
There is plenty of storage available in the 210-Versatile—like the slide out can, jar and spice rack in the galley, built in storage organizer in the wardrobe, and an armrest with built in storage. You will have plenty of room for gear wherever you go.
Before my friend even asked, I told him to check out the inventory at Dave Arbogast in Troy, Ohio. All of their vans are online, and you can also contact one of their van experts at 1-866-975-3257.
The team at Arbogast will find the right van for your family’s needs, and can even deliver it right to your driveway. Make taking a family vacation a snap with a new Roadtrek 210-Versatile from Dave Arbogast in Troy.
“And the sun is shinin’
And this road keeps windin’
Through the prettiest country
From Georgia to Tennessee
And I got the one I love beside me
My troubles behind me
I’m alive and I’m free
Who wouldn’t wanna be me?”
Country Music Superstar Keith Urban wrote it and sang it. Now I ask the question: Who wouldn’t want to be you when traveling the roads of America in a Roadtrek?
Roadtrek has been the number one selling Class B motorhome in America since 1990. That’s two decades folks, and it isn’t difficult to see why.
The features these vehicles include are almost ridiculous. A kitchen that is operational either on the fly or parked, clean bathroom facilities whenever and wherever you need them, your own private shower, and sleeping accommodations that come in handy at all times during the day, not just at night; are just a few of the things which makes a Roadtrek so special.
Roadtreks are also better equipped than many apartments. To say they offer the comforts of home is an understatement. It’s the comforts of home while rolling across the country, or across town which makes a Roadtrek one of the most versatile vehicles on the road today.
Parking is a breeze with a Roadtrek as it slips right in to regular parking spaces. No more fast food, or waiting for a table at a busy restaurant at meal time. No more in and out of hotels every night, loading and unloading the vehicle. It’s almost hassle free traveling and regardless of whether you’re going to the store or the kid’s athletic events; it performs as well in those situations as it does heading across country.
Who wouldn’t want to be you in a Roadtrek?

The perfect Roadtrek might just be waiting for you…
One of my favorite movies of all time is the 1983 classic “National Lampoons Vacation”. Clark Griswold, played by Chevy Chase, plans a two week cross country trip with his family to the amusement park “Wally World”. After enduring every mishap imaginable, (including an aunt dying in the back seat), they reach their destination only to find that the park is closed for two weeks for renovation. This leads Clark to take a security guard hostage and force him to open the park for the family.
You know, many family vacations work out a lot like that. Ok, maybe a relative doesn’t die in the back seat, and maybe you don’t take a park security guard hostage, but hey, it could happen. The trip starts off as a great idea, you plan for weeks and weeks, and by the time you reach the midway point of the trip, all you want to do is go home (and commit mayhem upon your traveling companions, your “loved ones”!)
It doesn’t have to be that way. The Griswolds went cross country in a “Family Truckster”, which was nothing more than a fancy station wagon. The modern traveler can make that cross country jaunt with ease in a Roadtrek, the best selling class B motorhome in North America. The Roadtrek has features that would make the Griswolds cry…including the ability to sleep 4, a kitchen, bathroom, shower and lounge area. It’s almost like not being away from home…no more hotel rooms every night, packing things in and out of the van, and no more restaurants or fast food joints three times a day.
The Roadtrek gets better fuel efficiency than most camper vans, and is easy to handle thru traffic. It seats seven and sleeps four comfortably, and features across the rear storage, providing plenty of space for everything you can’t live without. You don’t have to strap your luggage unto the top of the Roadtrek, which caused the Griswolds all sorts of trouble.
That poor family never got to watch TV while on the road…but that isn’t a problem with a Roadtrek. An optional flat screen TV can be added to the home theatre, providing you with an entertainment center that takes up little room and will entertain the young ones while the on the roads. The Griswolds never had it so good!

If you live in the northern part of the country, it’s pretty chilly outside right now.
While many RV owners have their vehicles tucked away until spring, there are still those die-hard travelers who travel year round. For them, coming up with solutions on how to keep their vehicles warm and toasty is a must. Thankfully, there are a number of options.
These days, most RVs come insulated and offer a double-glazed window option which helps prevent some relief from the elements. Most RVs already have existing heating appliances or include an option to upgrade. Some possible upgrades range from underfloor heating and diesel furnace heating to reverse cycle air conditioning and even electric ceramic heaters.
Before you start pondering any of these options, however, one of the first things any motorhome owner should take into account is safety.
First and foremost, DO NOT – I repeat – DO Not use any fire heating appliance that has a naked flame or a bar heater. Basically, there is no need to help promote any unnecessary risks.
Any heater you do decide to use should have a safety cut-off feature of some sort. Also, it’s a good idea to make sure any electrical or gas appliances are regularly. This will not only help keep your mind at ease, but it will help prevent possible accidents or mishaps. Including a fire blanket, fire extinguisher and ensuring smoke and carbon dioxide detectors in your vehicle are working is also good idea.
Now that we have all the safety stuff out of the way, let’s move on to selecting a heating unit for your vehicle.
It’s important to make sure the unit you select coincides with the size of the RV. One of the easiest ways to ensure this is by contacting the vehicle’s manufacturer. As combustion gases like water vapor, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide are expelled from heaters; proper ventilation is also a must.
Whether you’re doing your winter traveling in a larger RV or a Camper Van, it’s important to remember every vehicle is different and all heating options should be considered before making a decision.
What is it that makes a Class B Camper Van so appealing?
While out and about with some friends the other day, I happened to spot a great looking Roadtrek Class B Camper Van a few cars ahead of us.
I quickly told my friend who was driving to pull up next to it so I could get a better look.
“Why? It’s just another RV,” he said.
I quickly corrected him by telling him it was much more than another RV. By the look he gave me after my response, I realized the conversation was headed towards becoming a a camper van-educational lesson of sorts.
Class B Camper Vans are very different than their larger counterparts. Although smaller, they get better gas mileage, are more maneuverable, and still have the same luxurious of a standard RV.
“But you can’t even spend the night in one,” said my friend.
Wrong.
Believe it or not, a camper van can sleep between 2 to 3 people easily. Also, the dining area is many models can easily convert into a sleeping area as well.
“Yea but what if you want to cook some dinner for the family…”
Not a problem.
Class B Camper Vans – especially newer models – can come loaded with almost anything you can dream of and that includes a galley/kitchen area. Also, you can choose from a variety of options including flat screen TVs, custom interiors, two packages, and even full baths.
The most inviting aspect of a Class B Camper Van is likely their price. Compared to most large RVs, there is a huge difference in price when it comes to camper vans. Quite simply, they aren’t going to cost you an arm and a leg and you’re still getting a vehicle loaded with all the amenities you need.
“So remember,” I said to my friend at the end of my brief camper van spiel.
“They aren’t just another RV.”

Winterizing a Roadtrek can prevent several mishaps. Roadtreks, if not appropriately inspected before the winter’s cold arrives, can cause damage to the pipes of your Roadtrek. The harsh cold can create freezing water that can damage the Roadtrek’s systems. The winter elements can also cause damage to tires, batteries and other Roadtrek’s system’s overtime.
Maintain proper tire pressure.
Protect tires from losing pressure by covering them with a tire cover when not in use. Spray a tire dressing onto tires to keep the sunlight from weakening the tire. You can even jack op your Roadtrek to prevent further loss of inflation if they have been sitting for long periods of time. Also be sure to inspect and replace the spare tire in necessary.
Inspect batteries periodically.
Use baking soda and water to wipe down the roadtrek’s batteries from corrosion and dirt. Recharge the Roadtrek’s batteries using the isolator switch to reduce unwanted electric leak, which happens when poor grounding connections draw energy. Remove the battery from the Roadtrek during extreme cold weather conditions to keep it from freezing. Place battery in a dry, storage area such as a garage, and charging it at least once a month.
Drain the water from your Roadtrek.
Park the Roadtrek with rear wheels elevated a few inches before draining. Shut off all water faucets and fill the water tank with RV antifreeze. Turn water pump on and open toilet, shower, and all other faucet valves so that RV antifreeze can be released. Turn water pump off when the RV antifreeze starts to flow.
Drain the hot water heater tank. First, remove the heater tank’s door latch. Open the pressure release valve by moving the lever up vertically, removing the plug at the bottom of the heater. Step aside to prevent spillage on clothes. Take special caution to ease the plug out. Next, flush the hot water tank with a water hose until the water becomes less murky. Reassemble and use plumber’s tape to secure valve shut.
Air the lines out.
Open the faucet valves and the water tank fill valves to air out its lines. Replace the valves when finished.
Change your Oil.
If needed, don’t forget to change your Roadtrek’s oil. Also, inspect the generator, brake fluied and engine coolant before putting it away for the winter. Another important thing to remember is to fill the gas tank to maximum to prevent gum-forming oxidation.
If you take these simple precautions, your Roadtrek will stay looking new for years to come. Roadtrek Class B Campers are easy to care for and a blast to drive. Call 1-866-975-3287 or fill out the contact us form with any questions.
“Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, everyone was stirring, even the mouse. It was hours before the Christmas Eve trip would begin, and all the elves were frantically asking the same question, “Where the heck was Santa Claus?”
It wasn’t like the jolly old elf to be missing this close to take off, and the elves were worried. Worried that is, until Mrs. Claus entered the room. “Relax”, she told the elves. Santa will be here in plenty of time. He’s just driving his new Roadtrek!
Who could blame Santa for wanting to be rid of that sleigh? (Not to mention those smelly old reindeer!) The Roadtrek 210-Popular offers the comfort of home with the conveniences of a motor home, making travel, even all night travel, a breeze. There is more headroom, more interior space (for the elves), more exterior storage space (for gifts!), not to mention a large refrigerator, and a permanent enclosed bathroom. That eliminates periodic stops and will make the overall trip quicker and easier.
Let’s see the old sleigh do this. Sleeping comfort for 3, seating for 5. The rear features a dinette or power sofa that does triple duty. It’s a great place to watch a movie on the optional flat screen TV, provides belted seating for another two, and makes into a large king size bed or convenient twins (the elves will be fighting over those!)
More room, comfort, and no freezing wind in your beard all night makes the Roadtrek 210-Popular the new vehicle of choice for the most popular man on earth (I mean, who doesn’t like Santa Claus?) And, no more reliance on a red nosed reindeer to see where you’re headed. Sounds like the sleigh is headed for the museum.
Now just two questions remain—How will Santa get to the chimney—and where can he find Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and Rudolph new homes?
