Hello! Just got our 1st RV, picked a nice 99 Road Trek 190 Popular. Got a good deal on it, 40k miles, everything works great. There will be some things I’ll be wanting to do it, which brings me here to get some insight from the experienced folk. Can’t wait to dive in. :) 92863E3B-C165-415E-BD9B-39B6D8A56833.jpeg

Welcome to the forum Timmay!

Lots of good help on this forum.

Hi, Fellow "Killer B's", We bought a 2000 Dodge 190 Popular that had odometer 200k miles, "it's a killer of a deal 'cuz it has only 57K on a rebuilt motor", we were told .
Well, 1st, while it was parked at our mechanics garage, kids broke rear side windows on both sides and the the windshield; 2ndly, then it failed emissions test due to 2 cylinders not having much compression which turned into a valve job. 3rdly, Prior to the valve job, those two cylinders were discovered to be cracked, so we get to have a new head installed. Nonetheless, we are calling it the Mystic Gypsy Blue (looks just like Timmay's) and we are excited to hit the road ! If anyone has any hints, tips, upgrade farkles or just plain 'This is how I did it' info to share, plz do so.
