    Chevy Roadtrek 190 Weldtec Lift and Lockers Questions

    I'm considering a Weldtec lift + lockers on my 2012 Roadtrek Popular 190. I'll ask my questions straight out for those who don't need the details, and I would just like some thought or opinions from those smarter than me, which is probably everyone: 1) 5" lift vs 3" lift? I'm leaning toward...

    Van 4x4 Random Purchase Thoughts

    That one is the longer to 10. They have one 70s, 190 and 210. The one I have is the 190 which is the basic extended Chevy 3500 chassis. Ground clearance is very low, so it won’t be the off-road van I wanted. But I think I’ll add a lift to it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Van 4x4 Random Purchase Thoughts

    I ended up purchasing a 2012 Roadtrek Popular 190. Not where I thought I’d end up, no ground clearance, so not an “offroad” capable van, but it kept nagging in the back of my mind and started to make sense for me. I can always tow a small Jeep behind it and use it as base camp to go Jeeping...

    E350 4x4 conversion

    I’ve seen some skeptics but also some who say he’s ok. The impression I got, all hearsay, is that some early rigs had shortcomings, but that has been straightened out. But I don’t personally know anything firsthand, just comments I’ve read. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Van 4x4 Random Purchase Thoughts

    Thanks Baker, My latest neurosis has me wandering off into the Roadtrek world. Incredible how much functionality those squeeze into a 19 foot Chevy van. Completely self r er nclosed. But, alas, no ground clearance at all. I would break it pulling into my driveway. No way they can leave flat...

    Wasatch - Overland

    I don’t have any actual purchase experience with them, but I did talk to the owner and have an estimate from them in my “book of estimates”. A buyer is flying in tomorrow to purchase my jeep camper, so once that’s cleared off my plate I’m going to get more serious and it is one of the...

    2007 Ford E350 'Monster' 4x4 lifted van 36k miles 33's 5.4 gas $36,500

    It's also not an effective Marketing term. "Monster" will appear to those who can't afford it. I do think it's a nice looking van though.

    Sprinter 4x4 Van Tour, Family Of 4 With Kids, Full Time Living In A Van, - YOLO Family Vanlife

    Good grief, those are some awesome crazy smart kids. I'm just as impressed with them as I am the van. The van is very well thought out.

    Van 4x4 Random Purchase Thoughts

    That was a line I ended up thinking would seriously work as well. I've now test drive two 4x4 econolines, a two 2wd econolines, and a 4x4 Chevy Express. The older ones with high miles just don't seem ready for me to take out on extended longterm travel without first allocating some budget to the...

    Van 4x4 Random Purchase Thoughts

    Jeep Camper = 2020 Rubicon + Ursa Minor poptop tent, dual battery, fridge, winch, lift, etc. Goes anywhere, super fun and awsome for me solo. But one lives "out of" it, not "in" it. I do love it but my girlfriend isn't as "outdoorsy" as I thought she was. If I want to bring her along, she...

    Van 4x4 Random Purchase Thoughts

    Budget is roughly $50K. I already dumped a lot into my current Jeep Camper setup this year and don't want to get too crazy until I see if I'll keep the Jeep or sell it. I was looking at Vans under $30K to leave a $20K budget for DIY outfitting it and any upgrades, but everything I find like...

    Van 4x4 Random Purchase Thoughts

    Yesterday I did look at and drive the 1992 Airstream B190 (Econoline E350). Wow, super clean and everything top notch. A vintage classic. A bit overladen with "RV" amentities for me, though, not a great layout (no real dinette), and also the age kept knawing at me even though only 62k miles...

    Van 4x4 Random Purchase Thoughts

    I'm all over the map on my 4x4 van acquisition. Today I'll be looking at a 1992 B190 (way off my radar as it's more of an "RV") with 62K miles in Bastrop TX, then driving to Crestview RV in Buda TX to check out a 2021 Revel. If I bought the b190, of course on the Ford E-350 platform, I'd take...
