New Roadtrek 'Zion'-----promaster

here is the new zion


Roadtrek Zion

What we know so far is what Jim Hammill said in the video of around $82,000 MSRP. I would bet that he meant the base price. If anywhere accurate I would think you could use Roadtrek's build your own feature and start from there and add up all the options from one of the other models to get an estimate. Options would not be that much different from B to B.

The Pleasure-way Promaster Lexor could be loaded with options. Dealers prefer to sell on spec that way leaving little out. Usually first models in are the show off models. They aren't going to show off bare bones.

Yep, this should be over in the class C forum

Van City in St Louis is taking deposits on the Zions they have coming in, but it's listed as "call for price".

They do have a PW Promaster Lexor in stock at an MSRP of $100,787.00

I don't think Roadtrek even knows the price yet. They just presented the prototype at the show and you can hear what they said as to price (low 80s) in the video.

I called Roadtrek and asked the questions that we had on the battery and they said that nothing is yet settled as to how many, what kind or where as yet... and/or what is standard and what are the options.

(Oh... that Dynamax is a Class C, not a B anyway... so you might want to start a thread over there to discuss it)

[Terrenski]

What is the quoted price for a Zion? Never saw it anywhere.

This is suppose to be a Roadtrek Promaster Zion discussion. 🙂

I am also interested in the Dynamax rev 24TB, like the floor plan. Hope the front seats swivel around like the Winnebago Trend. My main concern is how the handling will be with front wheel drive and single rear wheels? Hopefully by Spring there will be some feedback with these units and the Winnebago Trend.

We like the TB floorplan in this unit. Not available yet though...

European rigs have toilets that can slide in/out, as well as swivel.

As for cassette toilets... they have their good and bad points. really think they are a lot more suited for a more active crowd, since it does take more back work slinging 5 gallons (19.3 liters) of black water out of the compartment, dragging it to the dump place and back again... more effort than pulling out a slinky or a macerator pump, attaching that and opening the valves.

I have thought of a cassette toilet with a custom build, but with the way US CGs are designed, since I'm using the stinky slinky (or macerator pump) for the gray water, I might as use it for the black as well.

There are two main advantages of cassette toilets. One is that winterizing the toilet is easier. The other is that if one is going for a long boondocking trip, multiple cassettes can be packed.

Not exactly the active crowd who have them here. You do not have to physically carry them, that would do your back in ! 🙂 You actually WHEEL the cartridge to the dump site

A few of the eurovans have these swivel toilets. It's a really neat idea. But I think all of these are cassettes. Uncertain if it can be done on a traditional black tank type unit.

Good question, you still would have access to an outlet, but the basin would swivel . Holding tanks are not very popular here. After experiencing holding tanks on Tourist Coaches, I can see why

until it's emptied a cassette is a holding tank. and yes i am familiar with cassettes. Northstar truck campers use them
