We love the underhood generator on the Roadtrek. Smartest thing they've ever done.

I watched about 10 reviews on these class b motorhomes, by far, Ian did the best job showing all the features.

As a former owner of a Roadtrek 210 I would like to share the reasons we sold our RT 210. The RT is a wide body van conversion which allows for the best interior layout for a van conversion. Interior storage space is well designed Even so, the Wet bath requires one to be a contortionist to use the shower within the closed door space. Also, the passage between the bath/shower and galley is very congested . this is notable because the layout encourages traffic between front and rear where slipping by your companion is tight. Now for negatives, the low profile AC interferes with headroom when using the rear couch /bed . You can expect to hit your head on the AC periodically when using this area. RT likes to point out that the AC is under the roof line which lowers the RV height. This looks good in the drive way but adds nothing on the road. RT lowers the floor in the van in search of keeping the profile as low as possible. One down side of this is reduced ground clearance. The low profile necessitates the use of a macerator discharge for the holding tanks. When ( not if the macerator fails ) there is no provision to properly dump the holding tanks. you can unscrew a cap and let the contents pour out on the ground. OK, these are some negatives about the RT but are not the reason we purchased a different class B plus RV. The main problem we could not overcome is that the chassis on the 210 is overloaded. We replaced the shocks with heavy duty after market shocks which improved suspension control greatly. The RT would develop a decided lean to one side with full water tanks. carrying water is a must for dry camping. At highway speeds the overloaded springs negatively affect directional stability. based on our experiences with the RT we began our search for a replacement RV that would address the short comings of the RT. The criteria included similar size for maneuverability and foremost a suspension adequate for the load. A bonus would be elimination of the macerator and a standup shower. After a long search we settled on a Coach House 220TB The pros are strong rugged chassis Ford E450super duty with dual rear wheels, a full shower and extra fuel cpapacity 50 gallons. The downsides are higher fuel consumption and less outside storage When the RT has the outside spare option . The major plus is the greatly improved drivability of the CH. It is a much more relaxed drive due to improved road control. We are addressing the outside storage by adding a hitch receiver mounted locker. Just my two cents based on our experiences . Both RVs are similar quality machines with differing characteristics.

This guy is well-spoken, knowledgeable, and has a nice West Michigan accent!

Another Epic Road Trek review. Who doesn't want to purchase one of these vehicles after watching Ian Baker's reviews

I'm glad they finally put covers on those Roadtrek signature roof windows. Their nice but on a hot day you don't want the RV working twice as hard to cool it down.

I just watched a 1996, 2006, 2017, all videos on KZfaq. I can pretty much buy any of them and they are basically the same layout. Very cool.

extended shower design is genius.

Love this model .

Ian you do an amazing job discussing all the RV, Van options with so much knowledge! 💗

Nice presentation. Have watched a few for Roadtrek and yours was one of the most thorough. You even sat on the toilet I have been wanting to get a better idea of that since it seemed so tight. Thanks! BTW Super handsome guy!

Dream Class B this one. ....so nice.

Simplemente algo de ensueño 🌟💞☺

Ian you give a great tour of Roadtrek's amenities. Few requests can add to info for viewer. If you show some Trek's with curtains up to capture how open the coach feels, mention upgrade options on models you show i.e., is maserater standard equipment on all models, the tank size capacities for gray and black, height, width, lengths. Tks

Best walk thru review ever.. Thank you

Needs pull across front window shades like the Simplicity SRT has. Just adds more "living" space by including the front area rather than having it blocked off.

This is on my wish list!

this guy is good.

with a msrp of 112K ... That is steep, nice van but damn. That is HUGE money.

this is almost perfect for me the problem is the bathroom sink its useless tbh. remove that and there will be more space ..idk but us likely wont use it. and they should make the headroom at least 6.1 or 6.2 ft. good looking all in all. kitchen is fine. but the way front dinnin is a bit wierd tho. only 2 things. but this is almost perfect for me. the engine generator is smart. real smart . 8/10 on my view

Hi American RV- The better half (wife /accountant/manager) and I are close to retiring. We need a nice RV to tour the USA, where ever the vehicle takes us. We like the 210 very much, but do not need the 3rd seat in the front. Is it possible to replace the 3rd seat with the armour, or does this need to be special ordered when we order the 210? Appreciate any help you can give....

How come they discontinued Express van conversions?

Does Roadtrek still make thse awesome Express hybrid RV’s???

hi can u elaborate on what is meant by a "souped up alternator"? does that mean its one of those 48V ones??

Great presentation. Is there any stick framing in drawers etc and are there self locking drawers? Thx

The shower is clever

Is the fiberglass body just as strong as the manufacturer's steel body and frame they took off? Do they crash test their vehicles?

Can you still get the generator along with the under-hood generator? Also, is the passenger seat middle row captains chair removable and a cabinet to replace it with for extra storage? Thanks.

This guy is hot. Does he come with the van?

Wet bath kills it, they couldn't find another place to put the toilet somewhere else?

is this a 4500 or a 3500?

Go ahead go ahead go ahead go ahead.....

Can you use the underhood generater in areas with no idleing laws?

all of them had the extended shower with shower pan in the floor and

No generator?

Can the generator work without having the car engine on?

Nobody ever illustrates how to put the bedding on the bed. I own a class C with single beds and it is nearly impossible to put fitted sheets on the bed as the closeness of the beds prohibits the sheets from being put on without popping off. This is a HUGE problem!

*Do I really want to buy an 'RV' that costs MORE than my house!?!?* *The 'Roadtrek' is likely the 'best there is' because the other makes use a Mercedes chassis, and 'good luck' where parts and service is concerned with those 'Class B's'* (You might wait MONTHS just to 'get-in' to a shop!) *I noticed one thing I definitely 'didn't like at all' and that is "Where is the stove-top exhaust hood?"*

What MPG do these get?

do they have a propane fee option with induction cooktop and heat strip on a/c unit?

Does it have a shower? I NEED a van with a Shower!

yea this guy no cringe factor at all,I wonder if u could get one of these with nothing inside, build my own.

4500 van?

Ian "go ahead" Baker

Don’t you mean 3500

Check out our channel where we lift one of these so you can go anywhere and improve ride quality.

Very nice but no have money to buy

how much

Good presentation but the van looks so 70's and outdated. Too much wood especially that dash.

Ummm, 3500 chassis…

ltcomment 9:56 shower curtain

Dude.. not a bad presentation.. but PLEASE don't say "go ahead" so much.

Do people really buy this, I was liking it till you got to the bathroom/shower. That's not a shower any normal person can use.
