2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/13/2022 - House Battery Check
I noticed the house battery was not charging too well so I wanted to take it out and throw it on the charger to get a read. I removed the panel that covers the house battery box and drawer and tried to pull the drawer forward. It did not come forward enough to remove the battery cables easily. I got...

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/11/2022 - Title Transfer
Went to the Florida License Tag office today to get the title transferred. I was initially concerned that this would be a difficult process, however it was quite simple. We made an appointment on line (I highly suggest this as the folks who did not do this had wait times over an hour and we just wal...

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/10/2022 - Ground Effects Removal
Removed the front bumper and the ground effects panels. These plastic panels had severe sun damage and looked terrible. They needed to be painted, and were an option that I would not have purchased so I removed them. The van is much cleaner looking and not "pimped out" so to speak. It was ...

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/8/22 - Engine Cleanup
Cleaned the engine compartment today. Took about 2 hours to complete but it cleaned up nicely – not bad for a twenty year old vehicle.

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/5/2022 - Peeling Paint
The van has some spots where the paint is peeled and or is peeling. This was a common occurrence on these vans – I think it was only the white ones – from the early to mid 2000’s. I accepted this and negotiated my deal with the seller mostly based on this fact. I still paid a bit more than I would h...

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - 5/2/2022 - Glued Rear Windows
Tried to open up the rear side windows today and lo and behold they do not open. What a nice surprise. Now I know why the seller had the curtains closed and why there are holes in the screens. This being my first Roadtrek I was not aware of the issue that these vans had with the CR Laurence windows ...
The Westy
We have previously owned a 1982 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia which we liked but was the last of the air-cooled models and was under powered (67HP) and not practical for the types of trips we wanted to take. I sold that vehicle in 2016. Here are some photos for you Westy fans out there: vanagon_front...

2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile - Original RVTrader Posting
Here is the original ad for the 2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile that was purchased on 4/25/22. As you can see I bought this van in the midst of a seller's market :o. Only time will tell how things go moving forward, however, paralysis by analysis is not good either. 2002 Roadtrek 190 Versatile, Chevy 35...
