Roadtrek Battery Isolator Issue
I have a 1998 Roadtrek 170, and the battery isolator which connects to the alternator, and then outputs to the vehicle battery and house battery is failing. The part from Roadtrek is $414.00 which seems quite high. Have any of you found a more reasonably priced unit on the internet? Thanking you in advance for your valued assistance...................Rob808Views0likes1CommentRe: New Here and Looking for a Class B
As you will be travelling alone most of the time, a 170 would work. As mentioned above, size if a personal preference. I absolutely love the 17 foot length of the 170, and as I travel alone for work, the smaller size is perfect. Parking the 170 is easy, and due to the fact that I removed all of the Roadtrek decals, it is quite stealthy as well. While I love the small size of the 170, my wife finds it very claustrophobic. Spend as much time in one either at a dealer or at a show. I asked if you would be using it in freezing conditions, because if you did, you would most likely be unable to shower as the Roadtrek's in the 2000 to 2004 range have external tanks. I purchased my gently used and mint condition 170 for less than the NADA value, but it took a year and I had to travel to pick it up. I would also check out the YouTube ad's for class B's as they will give you a good idea as to the size of each unit with a person inside for scale. Best of Luck and let us know what you discover.242Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Here and Looking for a Class B
Hello Ken - To better answer your questions and give advice, it would help to know the following. 1) Will you be travelling alone? This answer will help with the 170 or 190 choice, and how many days between returning home to fill water tanks? 2) Will you be travelling into freezing conditions during the year? 3) Will you be dry camping or utilizing campgrounds with full hook-ups? 4) Do you need a generator for extended computer usage? 5) Are you willing/able to do some modifications? Please let us know....................Rob207Views0likes0Comments
