Just sold my 05 Roadtrek 170, just too small for the two of us. Considering the Ranger RT or perhaps the newer dodge based Simplicity. Coupla questions.

Anyone have any comments comparing...

Thanks. This didn't happen with my last RV that had the same fridge (04 Pleasure Way), so something is clearly amiss.

Dometic/propane turns off when underway

When running on propane, the Dometic fridge on my 04 170 keeps turning itself off when the van is underway (I understand the official word is to use DC underway). It runs fine when the van is...

Final update on this. I went to the rear end shop, after driving and hoisting the van they diagnosed the problem as a front wheel bearing. So much for my (and the other mechanic's) diagnostic...

I've made an...

Great info, thanks. There is a shop specializing in rear end work about an hour's drive away, sounds like it would be worth the additional effort to go there. The local shop's best answer was to...

New (to me) Roadtrek 170 with a rear end problem

The whine is constant from about 15mph up, increasing in frequency as the speed increases. The tire dealer raised the rear end and ran the van in gear, it was clear the noise was coming from the...

New (to me) Roadtrek 170 with a rear end problem

Hi, Just bought an 04 Chevy Roadtrek 170, 42K mi. I'm an ex Pleasure Way Excel owner, wanted something smaller. This van is cosmetically in very good shape, and is the right size for us.
