Roadtrek 170 as a daily driver
Well, I admit it. I miss my Roadtrek! But I also love our Class C Phoenix Cruiser. We are using the Cruiser for boondocking a couple of weeks at a time and it fits the needs perfectly at this stage...

I have a 2006 Roadtrek 170 and my plan was to use it as my daily driver. I live in a beachside town in Florida, and most of my driving is local.
The 170 was pretty nice as a daily driver and I used it that way for six months.
After that, I bought a used Prius and began using it as a daily driver. Compared to the Roadtrek, the Prius was a fun little sports car, letting me easily get in and out of places that were a little dicey in the Roadtrek.
Now I use the Prius for local trips and use the Roadtrek for any trip over 15 miles or when I expect to be gone for more than an hour or two.
FYI: The OBDC II Scangauge on my Roadtrek with the 6.0 Chevy shows I average 14mpg around town. 16+ on the highway.
My Prius shows 56.3 average mpg over the most recent 5,000 miles.
