The 2017 Zion had armrests both sides

Sorry I don’t k ow where you could find one but our 2017 Zion came from the factory with 2 armrests. The passenger one isn’t mounted as nicely as the driver side so maybe it’s something Roadtrek...

Better than falling oprn

We have the 2017 Zion with the opposite problem - that pantry cupboard you’re referring to falls open very easily. This was a common complaint in the 2017 model. Of course when it would then slam...

We took our van in for a battery issue and they installed this upgrade. They told me the specs of the upgraded battery modules verbally so perhaps there is still room for some skepticism. It...

Roadtrek Ecotrek update

I’ve read about a lot about people on this forum (including us) that weren’t impressed with the phantom loads on the Ecotrek battery system. The phantom loads were crazy high (4-6 amps). They...

Used RVs have crazy pricing

When we compared New to used, we thought the price of used was insane. We were looking at 10 year old units selling for 50% the price of new. And surprisingly they were flying off the lots so I...

class B fits for 2 people

We had a tent trailer, then did tent camping so we could pull our boat.

If we were going with anything that doesn't have the flexibility of a B, we'd get another trailer. Kids are grown - only...

Coleman stove

My wife and I also really miss having an oven while in the RV. Our van also came with a microwave only. I've been watching the Carey On Vagabond couple use this Coleman oven with great results. ...

Give things a really good flush

I agree 100% with the other advise. The only thing I didn't see was to give things a REALLY good flush. Drag a hose into your RV and run a ton of water through your drains while dumping both gray...

You need to figure out what you want / need in a camper

On the FitRV site, if you dig around a bit, they have a discussion on how to pick your RV. I saw it after I bought my class B van, but found it confirmed my choice. I suggest you read through it. ...

You can rent RVs. I point this out to anyone looking to buy something so it gives you a price comparison. To a large extent, it comes down to how much you’re going to use it. For us, the break...

Our Roadtrek Zion didn’t offer a convection oven option - only a microwave. We use the BBQ as an oven substitute but it’s not the greatest. We took the lithium battery package. I suggest you...

Heat source

We have the Alde hot water heating system which uses 800 or 1600 watts of 120 Vac electric heaters or propane. With the pathetic 20 lb tank (supposed to be 30 lb tank per Roadtrek specs), we still...

Imagine how much happier the OP of this thread would be if a decent manual was provided for his new RV. And what would be front and centre of such a manual; diagrams of every major system.
