I owned a 2000 Rialta. The water heater does run on either propane, engine heat, or electric. I wouldn’t even think about putting as much money into this as you plan to. These units are wonderful,...

I have a Roadtrek 190 popular, 2003 with 30,000 miles. I had a Rialta and loved the layout, but getting Volkswagens repaired that are that old is very difficult and very expensive. I am very happy...

Upon reflection, I think you’re right. There are just too darn many non-retirees filling up the campgrounds. I think they all ought to be reserved for retired folks.

Sooner the better

Sooner the better. I bought a 2003 RT 190 with 24,000 miles on it. That was last year. I love it when people turn them in early, so I can buy them cheaper and still have a lot of years left in them.

Too hot?

Come to the Adirondacks of New York State. Over 6,000,000 acres of forest preserve dotted with small towns and villages. The temperature rarely gets to 90 and it’s never very crowded.
