The Motorhome That... Drives Like a Van!™
Lifestyle and product demonstration
circa 1997
"Those who know what they want out of life, and usually get it."
Comparison of the "Lifestyle" section is almost creepily similar to a later consumer video they put out around 2007: similar scenes, sequence of scenes, dialogue, etc., just with updated models. Eugh.
• Roadtrek Consumer Vide...
Couldn't pinpoint an exact date as it doesn't say on the video case nor the (teal!) VHS itself, but according to the brochures on their site, these model Chevys were first offered during 1997-98. Same was done for the playlist above.

Let me tell you. This for me was one of the most enjoyable videos I've seen in quite a while. I'm -- years old, and life has flown by like the blink of an eye. Many things that people find important in our country these days will wither into nothingness, and the real valuable things become apparent as you age. To everybody out there..............enjoy your life. It's later than you think.

This is awesome to see... I'm a full time van dweller in my 2005 190 popular, 3500 chevy express van... Love my home on wheels. So in the yr 2019 I hope Roadtrek comes back better than ever...

It's rediculous how expensive the newer Roadtreks cost today... they are six figures.

8:48 wow that station wagon was pushing it with the times. Was actually still relevant and modern then but at the very end of its modern lifespan, you don’t see station wagons anymore.

8:45 Speaking of Which, I thought that was a cool lively clip. That station wagon was barley pushing it with the times. Don't think I've ever seen one of those Buick Road masters be used for a family road trip.

This is the same video that came with the 1995 Dodge Popular 190 that I obtained (in 2019) as 4th owner. My 95 has some differences in where things are located as well as different striping on the sides, and it's the later striping. Makes me wonder if a prior owner picked it up some time after purchase. FWIW, while there are no dates anywhere in or on the video (cover or cassette), there is some very light writing on the VHS tape including numbers: G33 LIFESTYLE + PRODUCT DEMO | 392960 8301ETCONSUMER -0108290751004 | # R. Thanks for posting this.

I hope you find one. I found a 1999 Dodge Roadtrek and I'm living in it full time. I LOVE IT! I am the 4th owner. My 1999 Roadtrek needed a lot of repairs. Thankfully I was able to do all the work myself.

I've got 2 roadtrek, a 95 Chevy and a 94 dodge, after a real long look around these I can tell you with confidence that these are not as good as they look, the way the holes have been hacked out everywhere is ridiculous, a lot of stuff is just roughly done and made to look good on the surface, I can see plenty of places where the metalwork of the van has been adjusted with a large hammer to make things fit, the wiring is horrible, total mess and bordering unsafe. It's a lot of stuff made to fit into a small space very badly. After all this I still love them because of what they will do for me. This is why I'm in the process of going through the entire dodge and putting right everything they didn't. In the end it will be a very nice roadtrek, which is the way they should all be from the factory.

@tillallareoneluv *Years ago I knew a guy that had a Dodge 'Surveyor' that I think was a '70's model that was done in 'puke-y looking' colors outside and in, but it was very well-made inside no matter how ugly it was!* *It was good enough for what it was made-for, which was to 'Camp' with, and I don't think he paid that much for it, maybe 2 or 3-thousand, so I consider it a bargain with all it had with it* (fully self-contained, but no 'Solar'input) *I think the 'Roadtrek' models are best, but I can't afford one myself, so an old model converted van would be fine for me* *I don't know what I would do with one other than play with it because I'd be afraid to breakdown anywhere!*
