New Roadtrek 190 Popular

[Ran]

My wife and I are LONG time RVers, having owned three Class As, two travel trailers, one Class C, and a fifth wheel. Today we purchased our very first Class B motorhome. A 2015 Roadtrek 190 Popular. We just weren't using our current Class A DP enough to justify keeping it, but decided that we weren't yet ready to throw in the towel on RVing. We've been at it since we married nearly 30 years ago.

We're not quite sure yet how 'precisely' we'll use our new Class B, but we've envisioned ourselves traveling a lot with it (we love being on the road), visiting state and National parks, and also using it to pull our two place enclosed motorcycle trailer as we love to head out west and get on two wheels. Anyway, I just thought I'd say 'hello' to all you fellow Class B enthusiasts..

I found that my 19' goes for the same price as a car on the Alaska state ferry and also to Newfoundland. That is a huge savings over a large Class A and toad.

Since it is in your backyard so to speak, hope you will consider joining us at the Annual RV.net Class B Rally. Lot's of good people and a chance to see a variety of Class Bs.

Thanks for the tip on the Class B rally. Yes, right in our home state! I'll talk with Sue about it..:).

You're going to love the convenience of being able to jump into your 190 and just go - not worrying about whether there will be room to park it in the campground, the mall, the local farmer's market or just about anywhere else.

You can take it on spur of the moment trips, drive it like a car, and just go.

Like the big motorhome you used to have, you'll still have a bathroom, kitchen and beds with you as you roam.

We sure have enjoyed ours. Been to Key West, the Treasure Coast, the Diamond mine in Arkansas and lots of places in between.

The more you use it, the more you'll love it.

Thanks Bill. The things you point out are precisely what we've been thinking. Don't get me wrong, we loved the big Class A, but there's simply no question which method of travel is more cumbersome, so to speak. We've already talked about the 'spur of the moment' trips you've referred to.
