Starting this thread as kind of a journal on My refresh/remodel of my 1997 E-350 EB Agile pop top van.
I've been looking for a SMB forever and this was the right van at the right time. It's a really interesting van for a lot of reasons see my welcome mat post for some backstory.

We keep our Roadtrek connected to shore power all winter during outside storage in northern NY. I check to make sure the power is on most every day. The other day I checked the battery level with shore power on and it showed as totally discharged on our indicator panel over the sliding door...

We must sell our beloved Agile. It has 37,850 miles and we are asking $84,000. It's hard to let go, as it has been great for our off-grid camping and big-city touring.
Options over the standard model include 300W solar, rear (cargo) screen door, and black exterior. We added new tires this...
Hi all! Just sold my 30’ class C and can’t wait to pickup my 2021 Thor Sequence 20L from the dealer! It’s going to be therapeutic deciding what to keep in the new rig and what to leave behind. Agility massively improved
We have loved our RT Agile for two+ years now--had enjoyable trips from Maine to Florida, from Ohio to the great plains...We had hoped to travel west this year, and possibly to Canada.
It's been fantastic to have an easy-to-drive and easy-to-park vehicle, with our own bathroom and bed. But, the...
Hi, as (slightly) aging tent campers in our mid-late 50's, we are looking to become RVers. The Roadtrek Agile SS seems to meet our needs well. I've been looking at used ones and see that many earlier models have generators, later ones have the AGM or Lithium batteries with solar panels and...
By now, everyone is aware of how problematic Roadtrek's Ecotrek Lithium based systems are. I won't go into my issues, except to say, in the two or so years since I've owned it, my 2016 Roadtrek Agile has been in the shop more than on the road and every single component has been replaced, some at...
Is major difference between Agile SS and Zion SRT the chassis? I think Zion has bigger fridge. But are there important differences giving one the edge? Sprinters are pricier But is it worth extra $? Chassis just personal preference?
Let me elaborate.
Where the heck is the 4X4 Class B van made to get to mountain bike trail heads and then allow two to be comfortable and recharge after a long ride. No rock crawling or serious off-roading but a van that can easily go down most fire roads and forest service roads. White Rim...
