Greetings,
My wife and I went to see the Roadtreks yesterday at an RV place called American RV in Michigan. Basically we wanted to stand by one and see the size and look inside to see what it looked like.
I was surprised at how big these were to what I had seen online where I didn't have a good idea of scale of the RV to a person. We focused on the Roadtrek SS Agile. While the inside are not big compared to larger motorhomes, we felt there was plenty of living space for the two of us. There are two areas you could sit and be on a computer or read and so forth. There seems to be quite a lot of room for storage (they say 81 cubic feet or 3 square yards). Storage under the bed you can access from the outside or in. A small closet, plenty of small rectangular cabinets for storage along the upper walls.
Bathroom was small but had a shower and toilet. The door folds in two spots so it can arc out and make more room in the shower or if you have the curtains pulled you can just leave it open and pull the shower curtain around. The other smaller models had the shower actually coming out into the central isle of the motorhome and was designed so the water would go into a drain. No carpet in those areas like the Agile. That was too small in my estimation. Sink in the bathroom slides in and out for more room. Nice touch.
Kitchen was nice in my opinion and my wife like the sink, refrigerator and stove. Only room for two pots on the stove top at a time but this is enough for us. Not a large refrigerator but we feel there is enough room for items for two weeks of groceries before we will be out and have to go shopping again to replace items.
Lots of nice features that let you know of problems before they become bigger problems. Tire pressure, ice on the road, tanks, etc. and so on. Bed had a electronic switch to more the bed into a living room seat (couch) or bed. Something we would not need as we can move things around with out it being automatic. You can make the bed into one large king size or two singles. TV is in the back with the coach/bed and is more than fine for us.
This had a diesel engine that the sales person said should get 20 to 26 miles per gallon depending on factors.
My wife and I are impressed with these RV's and feel this is going to be the one for our needs. We'll be looking for a used one in the 3 to 5 year range and the $50,000 range. The one we looked at was a demo and had 4,000 miles on it with all the bells and whistles. Asking price was high $80,000 range.
We also checked out a trade in (Pleasure Way) they had. It was very nice also but my preference is still the Roadtreks. All my best to my fellow RVer's
