We are in the phase as new owners of a 1996 Roadtrek where we are trying to learn all we can about our vehicle. Fortunately there is an active community of Roadtrek enthusiasts that are responsive and helpful answering questions.
I thought it might be useful to post links to some of the Facebook groups and blogs we've discovered. Please also let us know in the comment section if we are missing another useful source of information!
We've joined five Facebook groups and follow their frequent posts.
- '74-'03 Roadtrek Owners - Vintage & Classic years This group indicates that it "... is for owners of early Dodge and Chevy based Roadtreks and those interested in them to ask questions, pass ideas and general social interaction." The group has 4.9K members.
- Roadtrek Chevy and Dodge Owners The group has 1.0K members.
- Roadtrek 190, 170, 210 Support, Help and Sharing The group description indicates that members can "...resolve issues, share and give support focusing on 190's, 170's, 210s...We are all about friendly discussion about the Roadtreks we own and the trips we take." New Roadtrek owners or people hoping to buy Roadtreks are also encouraged to join. The group currently has 1.8K members.
- Roadtrek Chevy Owners This group has 5.1K members and as the name implies is intended Roadtrek owning members with Chevrolet chassis.
- Good Old Roadtrek This group indicates it is "...for all the people that own Roadtreks , no matter what the age! It is also a page were we schedule meet an greets and share pix's of our Roadtreks and travels." The group currently has 3.4K members.
These are also several Roadtrek owners who have some interesting blogs and appear to be actively posting. If I could find one, I inserted the date of what I think is their latest post in brackets.
