You can get a similar product to Voltstart for your Onan for around $700 retail. It's an easy DIY project we've talked about on the forum.

Roadtreks typically trade for 85-95% of MSRP, depending on the dealer and the model.
Winnebagos typically trade for 75%-80% of MSRP, pretty much across the board.

There is a pretty good...

It would be interesting to know what the "churn" rate is on the 170/190 size vans. Do alot of people buy them and shortly trade up to something a bit bigger? I could see that the double bite at the...

The ones I've seen at shows had appalling fit and finish. If you buy one, look it over very carefully. Could be that is one thing holding back sales. Another is that it's not that much smaller or...

When I talked with Jim, it seemed like they were committed to it. They have alot of customers who want a shorter van, and supply of the Chevy Express is limited.

Well, if there is any logic to it, the difference should only be in the base cost of the van.

The cabinetry difference is minimal, so you might save a few hundred $ on that. The extra cost paint...

You can sleep the same way in a regular Zion if you wish. The only reason to go with the SRT is if you need to do city parking al ot. If your useage takes you to urban areas mostly, then you'll...

I mentioned in my Hershey report the poor "Arkansas Chrome" on the Zion SRT grill inserts.

I think the only place you probably have is in the footwell of the passenger seat. That is, if you get the small chest. Doubt it would fit under the sofa.

Oh well, when you choose a small van,...

Just get a chest type compressor freezer. They work pretty well. You just need to find a place to put it in a 170.

Mumkin - your fridge is a 3.0 cu ft unit. The Travato 59k has a 4.3 cu ft. That is NOT the same, it's much larger. Also it's a compressor fridge, which means you can stuff it to the gills and it...

I'm going to have a custom bolster made so I can use one bed for a sofa. I'll leave the other made up for a bed.

It is the 159. I forgot to check if it was a 3500 - they remove the badges, like Winnebago is doing. I asked Jim about why not the shorter wheelbase. He said that they fooled around with one, but...

Roadtrekking.com is primarily sponsored by Roadtrek. I was kinda surprised Mike would sell his soul for such a small $ amount.

It seems to me the Safari is a custom conversion, mom & pop type shop. I think that is holding them back. If they adopted a business model more like Roadtrek or Pleasureway, I'd bet they could be...

I'd agree there was room for a Transit B if fuel prices were still high and/or climbing. Growth in B's is still happening, but it's not nearly as hot as the other categories now. At one time, I...

I doubt it to. Although I think it would be a bigger winner than just a short Zion. I really don't get why you'd just do the same layout, but with a smaller bed?

To me, they need an articulating...

Maybe just the rear area is shorter. The article says 159" wheelbase, but I think that is wrong.

Although what you're suggesting is anecdotal, I'd offer that the seeming higher incidence of complaints is the sheer volume of their RV production.

I'd add that you really should just buy DEF when you need it and not store any significant quantity. It does go bad and degrade over time. Fresher is always better. Usually I can catch it on sale...
