Re: Roadtrek Zion - Promaster based Class B Motorhome
When we walked through the Trend at the Mpls Rv show, it was nice inside, but it looked way to high and wide to be on single wheels in the rear. They may drive fine, we haven't driven one, but I...

Re: Roadtrek Zion - Promaster based Class B Motorhome
That is really a bummer :(
It had appeared that Roadtrek was getting most of their past quality issues behind them, but maybe not.

Re: Roadtrek Zion - Promaster based Class B Motorhome
When we were looking in 2006/07 timeframe, a Sportsmobile with all the features of a well optioned 190P Roadtrek was about the same cost as the Roadtrek. When you started eliminating and simplifying...

Re: Roadtrek Zion - Promaster based Class B Motorhome
Have you looked at Sportsmobile? They may not have the spiff factor, but they will build you just what you want (within reason).

Re: Roadtrek Zion - Promaster based Class B Motorhome
They sure have been going to less and less counter space lately, I would agree. In our 07 Roadtrek, they turn the stove 90* and put it up against the right side wall, and put the sink right up next...

Re: Roadtrek Zion - Promaster based Class B Motorhome
It appears that Roadtrek has another misprint in the Zion specs that also make it look more favorable than it is. They list the gas V6 as 280hp and 360ft-lb of torque. It should be 260ft-lb of...

Re: Roadtrek Zion - Promaster based Class B Motorhome
For us, the 10 gallons is fine, but more would always be better! We have removed one of the fresh tanks, so we only carry 14 gallons, but find water very easy to find, if we had more black capacity...

Re: Roadtrek Zion - Promaster based Class B Motorhome
That sounds too big to be a change this late. I wonder if the original spec was typo, with an added "1".

Re: Roadtrek Zion - Promaster based Class B Motorhome
That would have to be a different Tripplite than most Roadtreks got, as those were only 750 watts. Roadtrek only ran a couple of outlets off them. I think Campskunk mentioned a different inverter,...

Re: Roadtrek Zion - Promaster based Class B Motorhome
My guess would be that the engine generator would be overkill to have the engine generator, with the only exception being if the factory 220 amp unit was either really low amp at idle or dropped a...
