Re: battery draining while stored, RT190 2008

Thanks. All good ideas. I did (3). I thought driving once/month (1) would be sufficient but it's not. Chevrolet advises disconnecting the battery and this is when it's just a van. I wonder if...

battery draining while stored, RT190 2008

The van battery went completely dead while the 2008 RT 190 was stored this winter. How can I avoid this short of keeping it plugged in -- not an option.

Re: house batteries not charging completely from vehicle battery

I had the same problem. The battery separator was the problem. It seemed to be related to heat. It tested fine when cold. I bought a replacement online and installed it myself. That cured the...

Re: RT 190 propane leak

No joy in Manteca. I took it to Manteca Trailer & RV, 77 miles away because they are a Roadtrek dealer and get good reviews. It sure seems like a professional shop, big too. They found no leak. ...

Re: RT Cup holder source

I bought some at West Marine which were definitely wrong. RoadTrek service sent a couple of links. I've ordered a couple. If they aren't right, I'll revise the post.

The manufacturer: ...

RT Cup holder source

One of those cute folding cup holders was a casualty of our last trip. Does anyone know a source for the correct replacement? I already ordered and sent back one that looked right in the pictures...

RT 190 propane leak

We smell propane when the main valve is ON and we're using the propane for anything -- refrigerator, BBQ, stove, anything. I think I should get this checked but it is really tucked in there. I looks...

Re: RT 190 house battery charging

Replaced the battery separator. Now the system acts as it should. It connects the house battery to the car battery and alternator when the voltage hits 13.2. The real test will be the next long...

RT 190 house battery charging

The new house (aux) battery was completely discharged after 5 hours of travel. Refrigerator was on DC as the manual recommends. Weather was hot, about 100.

Should this be? Shouldn't the...

Re: RT 190 int. water drain valve

Solved. The manual is wrong. There is no such valve on my 2008 190. I downloaded rev 5 of the manual from Roadtrek. It has revised instructions and revised pictures. My plumbing more closely...

Where should I look?

Re: Roadtrek 190 aux battery tray

Thanks. That worked. The right side was corroded so it wouldn't slide but it yielded to intense efforts and I didn't break anything. I put in an Optima D27M AGM battery which the Tripp-Lite claims...

Roadtrek 190 aux battery tray

How far out does the house (auxiliary) battery tray slide? Mine only comes out a couple of inches exposing maybe 1/2 of the battery with the rest including the terminals tucked in and hard to reach....

Re: Replacing Fiamma clip, Roadtrek 190

I fixed it myself. The Roadtrek service department said it wasn't under warranty and I should just use the pop rivets they used. So that's what I did although they were wrong about the size. They...

Replacing Fiamma clip, Roadtrek 190

The Fiamma clips are shot, the ones mounted on the side of my 2008 RT 190 to hold the Fiamma awning support poles. No problem. New ones are readily available and inexpensive. But how to install...

Now that Dodge no longer sells Mercedes Sprinter based vans, will they continue to service the ones they've sold? Will they service Freightliner and Mercedes badged ones? I asked Roadtrek who said:...
