We have loved our Trekker from the time we purchased it four years ago.<br />
<br />
The immediate question then would be, “If you love it so much, why are you selling it?”<br />
<br />
We purchased a 3/4 ton truck for use on our acreage and feel it would financially make more sense to only have one vehicle for taxes, insurance and upkeep. We have both recently retired, and these considerations become important at this point in our lives<br />
.<br />
We will be looking for a pickup camper for the truck. And, it will be about the same size as the Roadtrek. We are roadtrip people. Enjoying backroads and staying “off the grid” is our style. (Don't miss the video of places our Roadtrek has visited at the end)<br />
<br />
The decision has been hard. This Roadtrek is a jewel.Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03432986283071362131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109634855086771001.post-74764881132031156442010-02-12T21:50:00.000-08:002010-02-13T06:53:21.345-08:00OverviewWe purchased this 170 on April 24, 2006, from retired private individuals who had used it very little. It has 43,657 now. These are easy miles as we did not tow nor push the engine hard. By driving conservatively, we were able to get from 13 to 17 mpg.<br />

The first thing we did was add an Onan generator. It has only 24 hours use. We have “exercised” it each month for ten minutes under load as recommended by the manufacturer.<br />

It has had regular service including oil changes every 3,000 miles. We added four new Michelin tires costing $858.00 a year and a half ago. They have less than 3,000 miles wear.<br />

The computer on the engine was replaced in December of 2008.<br />
We do not smoke, neither did previous owners. We do not take our pet when we travel.

This is a three way refrigerator. It cools almost to the point of freezing in cool weather. We have kept ice cream in the freezer. Notice the cup holding the freezer door open. I was careful to dry the little freezer as well as the entire unit out after each use.<br />

This is the most wonderful thing about the Roadtrek. Traveling down the road, duty calls, and you can just slip back and take care of it. It has a shower which we used, but preferred to use showers at State Parks when available. The unit is winterized at the time of the picture so the shower mechanism has been brought inside.

My husband is a retired trim carpenter. We removed the third seat and he built this custom cabinet. Notice the adjustable shelves. It has a formica top as well. This served us very well. However, we do have the entire third seat that will come with the unit. It is in excellent shape. Unsure if a new owner would want the cabinet or seat, we decided not to put it back in at this time.<br />
