Re: Class C owner looking to downsize
After some browsing I think that a Chinnok would really work as far as downsizing from my class C, I looked a bunch of pics and floor plans, for camping and traveling it has everything we need, the only problem I see with this unit is that it'll probably sit there as much as my current C, the Chinook still a good size RV for a daily driver. So I'm really debating on the size if I want to drive it more often, on the weekends to the local bike races and park outings and so on. For that I think the roadtrek would be more of a daily driver but I want a ford chassis so here are the other options: Airstream 19b Coachmen Falcon They don't look as stealthy as the roadtreks but it has a for chassis. I'm still doing my homework and I'll try to see as many RVs at the local dealers before I pull the trigger on anything. Open for any sugestions, Thanks329Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class C owner looking to downsize
my class C is on a ford chassis with the V10, that is why I'm looking at '97 or newer Chinooks because I like how the V10 pulls my boat, the Chinnok Baja looks sweet but those are hard to find and they might be too expensive. What about a lift kit on a Roadtrek, like the ones on a overland van? @handbasket where is the Onan located on a RT 210? looking at the PDF on the 1996 standard engine on the chevy is 7000 Lbs tow weight, Is that right or am I looking at it wrong?328Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class C owner looking to downsize
@Mlts22 usually 2 but there are times when the wife wants to go. @handbasket You bring up good points that I didn't think about like the boat launching, and what is this cold weather water capability? We pretty much need a place to sleep and get us where we're going, we spend most of the time on the lake or riding the bikes. And if we go with a group of people we all cook outside. I used to do all this in my ram with a shell an a carpet kit before I got my class C. Thanks for the comments and I'm open to more suggestions pros and cons about the RTs328Views0likes0CommentsClass C owner looking to downsize
Hello I have a 31' class c that at this point seems to be too big for my needs now, we are a small family,wife, daughter and a vizla dog, but I would like to have 4 seats so I come here to get some help. I want to drive this rv more often than the time it seats under the cart port, most of the camping we do is at state parks and newer campgrounds with hook ups, we pull a boat and do alot of mountain biking but we dont take the RV off roading but sometimes I go on dirt roads, nothing that requires 4x4, here is what I'm thinking: I'm looking to downsize to a something like a Roadtrek 190 versatile on a chavy chassis from 1996 to 2002 years. The 1996 year I like the 190 versatile or the 210 popular, older body style, from '97-'02 they all look similar. 1) what other class B look similar to the roadtrek? 2) for roadtrek owners, does the older models have a higher ground clearance or they just look higher? I know the '96 hight is 8' 4" and some of the newer ones are 8' 6" overall hight and looking at pictures the older model still looks higher me. Option 2 would be a '97 or newer Chinook and I know this one looks more like my class C but smaller, I'm not sure if I would drive it as much in town as I would the roadtrek.

What are you guys doing for the graphics? I got all the materials to do mine, but I'm replacing all my vinyl, my question is: red max the RV and then put on my new vinyl or before the red max? I wonder how the graphics would look under the red max finish since they'll be new and shiny or will the red max protect them better? Any feedback on that.274Views0likes0Comments
