Who builds Roadtreks factory 4WD?

[zip]

Currently own a Sportsmobile, and it appears the Roadtrek 190 may be my next 4WD camper van.
Anyone here know who does their factory conversion, and the details about this modification?

Thanks.

I'd convert a 2WD camper to 4WD before buying one

For a lot of us it comes down to how much it is going to cost, and why/what you want 4WD for.

True, my case also. It seems like a bad idea to buy a Quigley and then spend more on a RIP package... or even more to add a Ujoint kit.

In my case, I'm sticking with RWD, LSD, duallys, and 6000 lbs on the rear axle. So far traction hasn't been an issue.

I had a F350 DRW LSD 4WD with a big heavy camper on the back and lived in Colorado.
I would regularly have to put in 4WD during the winter just to navigate snow/ice covered roads.
Again, depends what and where.

Zip, based on the roadtrek my wife and I had, would not even think of taking one off pavement. Unless the company has come a long way ours was a pos and they dropped support, vendors would send a part that was the replacement which defiantly was not compatible. Good luck!

Russ,

Thanks for that input.
It appears buying 2wd and having converted is the answer.

Was it IFS? Do you know who did their conversion?

EDIT: Found this,
Roadtrek uses the Quigley Pathmaker conversion. It retains the independent front suspension, while adding a 2 speed transfer case. Quigley uses parts from the 4x4 setup for the Chevy 2500 pickup. The Pathmaker conversion maintains the standard ride height of the van.

Zip our Roadtrek was a chevy 3500 2wd. Yes it had ifs front and leaf rear. I personally thought for the money one could do a whole lot better to do their own conversion.
