How many of us have owned our B a lot of years?

I noticed in a post on another thread the following comment by booster:

We have had our 07 190P since new, but it is a bit different than yours as it was one of the very first of the new style roof/kitchen/furnace move etc versions. Hopefully, we will have a long time more.

Like Booster, we bought our 2007 Roadtrek 210P new (custom ordered it to our needs). That was in September of 2006.

That got me wondering if any of the rest of us have had our vans, say, ten years or longer?

Personally, we will never buy another B for various reasons but mainly because our RT meets our needs and we will age out before it wears out.

I had my 2013 Airstream Interstate for 10 years and 180,000 miles when I traded it in for a new one. It was running well and would have easily lasted another five years and 100,000 more miles. But I wanted some of the newer technology driver assistance systems like adaptive cruise control.

We love our 2012 190 RT Ranger (Poplar clone) on its Chevy 3500 chassis. Bought the CEO's demo in September 2012; believe it to have been the first Ranger sold in Canada. Great handling, IMO due to external cabin and ground effect design. Zero uneven tire wear through three sets of tires (80, 000 miles).

Had one previous "learning experience" van, but we will never sell our current one. It's low stress, low hassle, low expense, and the perfect layout. Starting over with a new one would be a waste of time and money.

We bought our Roadtrek 07C210P used, in 2008. Have made modifications, mostly based on things I learned on this forum over the years. 180,000 miles and no plans to replace it.

We bought our RT 190P new in 2000. 24 years,320,000 miles and still loving it. Our favorite bed and we sleep in it every night on the road. If our house full we give up our bedroom and go to the camper van. Last summer did 7 weeks through the northeast. Of course we put in a lot of $ in maintenance over the years but we rationalize that what we do is better than a cruise. I find as it get older and more worn I am okay using it as a pickup truck if necessary. ��.

I bought my 1997 RT 190P in 2005. I have driven it through most parts of the continental US except the Northwest and Alaska. It has been well worth it to me to maintain and replace systems as needed. I test drove a new RT 190 in 2018, and was very disappointed in the lack of storage and the all electric systems. I am old, and so is my RT, and I think we will go the distance together.

WE bought our 95 RT chevy 210 popular 12 years ago and have traveled all across the US, Alberta, Yukon, British Columbia, Alaska, down the West Coast to San Diego. Enjoyed every bit of it. Only problem was a flat tire out in the middle of nowhere Montanna. Camped in the snow in Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. Its not a 4 season camper. That trip was 109 days long, sleeping everynight in the RT. The chevy chassis has been flawless so far. YMMV

I've had my 1999 Roadtrek 190 Popular for 12 years, and it's my 3rd Class B. It had very low miles when I got it - 39,000, and it's around 108,000 now. Currently getting front brakes redone and a couple of other things repaired, but most of the repairs I've had done are mechanical. I haven't done too much with the house. Biggest thing was replacing the generator last year and the house A/C a few years ago. Next will be the fridge as the ignitor quit working, and I have mostly used it on propane. I'm hoping to sell my house next year and live in it for a few years. I've also thought it'd be nice to have a newer one, but then they don't look like they have as much storage space, so I'll stick with mine as long as I can.

We bought our 2009 Four Winds Ventura new in 2010. We have driven it over the western US and to and from Alaska. We do not drive it lots now because of health reasons. My sons have borrowed it for vacations. I have made numerous modification. We still like it.
