We too looked at the Roadtreks. We had one of the first Winnebago's on a van chassis. It was called a Centauri and was like a van with four captain chairs and large jacknife sofa in rear. Tons of storage all over the place for a van. We took a porta potti and outdoor cooking and had what we wanted in a vehicle you could sleep in, stand up in and get 22 mpg in that 4 cylinder diesel. It was slow but drove nice and road nice. Mannual transmission and in those days speed limit was 55. Later we got the LaSharo which was a moho with toilet and shower and cooking. They also turbo charged that Renault diesel and it did make a difference. Many years later it became Rialta. We considered one but just wanted a bit more power and larger and then we saw the BT. A bed in the back was critical. We have changed some things but overall it meets our needs. Am considering getting a smart car to tow 4 down. At about 1800 lbs it will be great and will also be a good town car. Have been towing the Prius on dolly but it is a hassle and at 3000 lbs and then dolly a bit heavy for mountains. We are in process of changing the upholstery. It is in good shape but we want different colors. We are also looking to get more efficient in cooking outside I too don't mind the white noise of furnace or even genny when needed.
