Hi everyone,
I have been looking at the Versatile 170, because it can be parked anywhere and drives like a regular van. The Roadtrek website says it is easy to maneuver and that is important to me. My dog and I travel alone, so I would like as few complications as possible.
On the other hand, I have read that people buy travel trailers so that they can have a car because they find it easier to unhitch than to unplug the Roadtrek and unhook the water. I guess they would have to re-level the van after each drive, so I wonder if that is an especially difficult task. Just from what I have read, it seems that there are no clear answers on the best hitch and constant maintenance, after the initial set up which requires serious measuring and balancing if you have a weight distribution hitch. Then, for the rest of your life you will be going to truck weighing stations and weighing each axle of the tow vehicle and trailer together, then separately, figuring out the tongue weight, etc. Whew!
So I wonder if I am missing some information about disconnecting and reconnecting a Roadtrek, at a campsite, that would make it more difficult than I thought?
Thank you.
The only thing you really need to hook up at the campsite is the electric. And that's strictly a flip the breaker, plug and unplug thing.
Fill your water tank as needed, dump as needed. that's it.
Leveling is no big deal once you do it a few times, especially with a single rear wheeled vehicle. Say 2009 and older Sprinters and all the Ford & Chevy B's.
