Wish they still made them like this, on the Chevy chassis! Nothing like an “old” Roadtrek!
Sounds good.❤
I might be getting a 93 so seeing your video helps.
They have stronger hearing aides now. You can hear everything.
Music is to loud.
I just got a RT just like yours! New to this stuff. Love your tour and decor!
Take your face to the camera
Actively searching for a Roadtrek. Did you look at Rialta? Curious. Very nice video. Didn't get my last two rv's inspected professionally. Thought I would this ti.e as I will be looking at 90"s models. Long backlog for that. 😂 Thank you and safe travels.
I love your van it’s really nice & roomy enjoy safe travels
Beautiful . The only thing the music is loud. Please don't get mad. Thanks
Frankie is beautiful! Love the Roadtreks!
It’s hard hearing you speak a your background music is a little too loud! Other than that, nice video!
I absolutely love you rig and your sweet enthusiasm! I just have one tiny criticism, please turn the music down.
Do You Have Any Way To Keep Warm.
Very nice.
Hi... I love your cabinet behind the driver's seat. I have a 92 190 versatile and am ready to make modifications .... and would like a cabinet like that. Did you buy it ready made somewhere?
On my '07 C 190P, I put a false bottom where you have firewood for a couple laptops, etc. Sold it and miss it.
great tour!
Would love to hear if you switched your black water system...we are thinking the same!
We have a 1997 and if anyone hears of someone on the Pacific NW who can reupholster the seats and upholstery I would appreciate a heads up. Needs some TLC in that area but otherwise just looking for cool storage ideas like yours. Am subscribing for more. ❤️
its beautiful.........
Just found your channel and can’t stop! Love your van and decor.
They're great little vans if you can find one rust-free after all these years. Really well designed. Had to laugh at the old Fedders A/C. That plant closed back in 1997, is now a Home Depot. Guy who made the (real) Roadtreks sourced all his parts from U.S. and Canadian suppliers. New Roadtreks are off-shore supplied. Kind of sad really. Spray it with oil once a year, take good care of it. Thing will last forever.
Just redecorated my Roadtrek it is now Vardo Van --- so fun czcams.com/video/7d7jBdfo8zs/video.html
Good video. I have a99D190P and am having things worked on. My last thing for now is the generator getting a new Carburetor and a couple other things. Could you please share how you did the curtains in the bed area. I still have the original ones and really don’t care for them. You have made you RT so nice and cozy and looks well organized.
I am presently looking for an older Roadtrek...love yours! One of the first things I will do is get rid of the toilet and replace it with a composting (diy) toilet. I would do almost anything to never deal with a black tank.
We got tired of the grey/black tanks. Last trip, we lined toilet with plastic bag and used a scoop of the powder (Amazon) that changes liquids to gel. Do your thing, tie up the bag and put in a lidded container until you get to a garbage (which every gas station has!) We use white plastic tubs that fit in the sink to wash up or do dishes. Easy to empty wherever you are parked. Did 8,000kms like this and it worked great! No more black/grey tank emptying for us!Bonus! No more smelly van! 👍🏻👍🏻
Super! You're personalization of it is inspiring 😁👍
Super cute van and video!
A great tour RUINED by the obnoxious background music! Also, way too much stuff packed into a small space. Less stuff would make it feel much more open.
its 60square feet. NOTHING will make it feel much more open. You have a bad attitude. . ask me how i know
Love my Roadtrek I have an 02 it's amazing how different they all are between the years.
I would love to know what your plans are for replacing the toilet. I just bought a 1990 road track Dodge and although like you I need the toilet, the idea of emptying the black water tank is doable it's not fun.
Great tips and thanks for sharing! I'm pretty basic, so the good ole PB&J is one of my go-to meals!
I have the same roadtrek 190 vertical. I am removing the 3 skyline windosw. And 2 rear windows. More safty and light block for sleep. Just a thought for you.
Hi, just saw your video. How are you liking the roadtrek versatile. I have the same RV.
So cute! I have a 2009 Road Trek so thanks to you, I will try to find these Facebook Groups
I’m interested in what you did w plumbing. I have a road trek. It’s 190. Versatile. Nice. Ideo. I like what you did
Hi! I absolutely love your videos - so helpful and fun to watch. I recently purchased a 1990 dodge roadtrek 190 v and currently prepping to paint the cabinets inside. I’m concerned about the vinyl covered particle board portions. How did you paint those? Did you use regular paint? Did you have any issues with the paint adhering? Thanks for any insight you may have! ❤️
Hi! So sorry I did not see your comment - I was off the road and van-less for awhile! I didn’t paint mine but looking at a lot of videos, chalk paint might be your best bet - or be sure to use a prime. Frankie’s cabinets scratched easy. Then tape down drop cloths EVERYWHERE!
Hy,where can I get such a van
Love it
Hi, great to meet you. I have a 92 RT 210. It's been in the family since new & passed around to family members. At 55-60 I have gotten 20 mpg, but that was not fully loaded for living in yet. I hope to move into my RT & travel. Maybe we'll meet each other on the road? Hope you have more video's showing your RT. Good Luck. AL
I love that you brought up not feeding your mind scary things! When people ask me how I camp in remote places by myself or with my young kids, I always say because I don’t watch scary movies! 😂
Beautiful van, music drowning you out a bit though.
Thank you so much for this video!! I, too, have some “silent” disabilities and want to do van life so badly!! I also want a roadtrek!! So I appreciate you, your info, and your laid back style!
Love, love , love your class B!
Interesting to see this pop up on my feed. I’m profoundly deaf, and do a lot of solo travel. Ridden all over the country alone on my motorcycle and now I’m starting to get into the van thing. Hearing people freak out that I do this alone… they’re full of “what ifs”. Life will happen. Deal with it when it does otherwise people like us will never do anything!
Dear precious one, please repeat after me with your whole heart, "Father God, I know I'm a sinner and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe in the Good News that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that You resurrected Him from the dead in order to restore my relationship with You. Through my belief and faith in Jesus death, burial and resurrection, I am saved. I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward. Please guide my life and help me do Your will, Your way through the Holy Spirit. This I pray in the powerful, loving and glorious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. Amen!" ♥️ Dear friend, may Father God our Creator, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior bless you, lead you, guide you and keep you in His abundantly loving care now and for all eternity! Amen! 🙏♥️
l knew you were the right person for me! l have fibromyalgia also btw, it's a pain in the tuckus and quite annoying. The good part is needles no longer bother me at all. Anyway, l want to be a full-time nomad but I'm alone and wondered how you established yourself for your license, voting, etc and now l have the tutorials you've shared to find out. lt's really difficult to change your thinking after having an address for most of your life to ...? I'm kinda lost on the details and there isn't a community of this kind around where I live. l don't have a dog now but wanted to get one to be my co-pilot/buddy/alarm/exercise push. l've been trying to find out if there's a breed that's best suited to the lifestyle. You've given me some food for thot on the subject. Thank you so very much for sharing this stuff, l sure do appreciate it. ☮
OMG, Im so glad l've stumbled across your story. First, l cannot believe you belong in the over 50 category, your energy is much younger, and 2nd, your knowledge is just what l need as a fledging full-time solo female nomad. l haven't been able to decide between a van or a short bus. I'm very comfortable driving buses as I started in the late '70's driving in the hilltowns of Western MA w/4 seasons of spring mud roads and plowing deep snow as the first vehicle arriving - all before power steering and automatic transmissions, what a life lesson in driving. I've driven mostly school bus for 40 years so I'm partial to them. i don't want/need a regular-sized one so the shuttles have been interesting. I want to boondock as much as possible. When you said certain sized vehicles were excluded from driving what sounded like places I'd like to go, l had no idea. I'm very isolated due to circumstances (sorta a Fern) and haven't been out in the world for some time but in my youth crisscrossed the country (hitch-hiking) 4x's. l'd love to re-visit some of the out-of-the-way places l discovered back then. I'd also love to meet interesting people like you - loved your sign about witches loving equality or something like that. I know you're a good witch! l used to be a Harley woman & we had special waves for other Harley riders (Triumphs & Bonnevilles also) so I understand the camaraderie. Sorry, this is so long, l suck at social media, I'm just so excited to find your story and can't wait to hear more. I don't have a Frankie, l want to get one and wonder if there's a breed that van people consider best suited for the life. I'm more comfortable with bigger dogs, at least middle-sized. l know how to train them. Any suggestions? Thank you for sharing your story, you're fabulous! ☮
