Driving a Class B Camper Van like a Pleasure Way or a Winnebago Era can be an amazing way to see the country, reconnect with family, and enjoy the pleasures of AscentExternal21the open road. However, with the power and freedom of a camper van comes a responsibility to share the road and be a respectful and safe driver. Here are 10 ways to become a more respectful and considerate driver while driving one of these RVs.

1. Keep the left lane for passing vehicles

Most states already have laws that state that the left lane should only be used when passing or when turning. If you aren’t doing either of the two, you should be in the right lane.

2. Learn to zipper merge

Zipper merging is a good way to make construction zones or quick lane closures work more efficiently. Most drivers think that they’re supposed to merge as soon as possible when they see lane closures on the highway. However, the most efficient way to merge is actually to wait as long as possible to merge and to do so at a higher speed. Doing so helps keep traffic jams to a minimum.

3. Keep an eye out down further when driving

The farther ahead you look when driving, the better you are able to react and avoid potential accidents, traffic jams, and other problems on the road. A number of accidents happen when people are simply looking at the car right in front of them. Learning to anticipate is crucial when driving a larger vehicle.

4. Maintain a safe following distance

Just as it’s important to look out further down the road, it’s also important to keep a safe distance when following other vehicles. This helps prevent accidents and helps you anticipate what’s coming up next.

5. Don’t be a rubberneck

Accidents are an unfortunate part of driving, but we can reduce the risk of causing additional accidents by keeping our eyes focused on the road ahead rather than by looking at accidents that have already happened.

6. Keep those high beams off

Unless you’re in the middle of the night and on roads where there aren’t lights set up, you shouldn’t be using those high beams. They blind other drivers and increase the risks of accidents.

7. Maintain the right of way when it’s yours

It might seem polite to yield the right of way when it’s yours, but don’t do it, as it leads to accidents.

8. Use your hazard lights to say thank you

It’s a quick way of being polite and acknowledging others when they let you in on the road.

9. Remember those turn signals

It’s a way of showing your manners to signal before you turn. It’s also the law.

10. Leave extra time for your trip

Finally, haste makes waste. Leave early to arrive on time.

Dreams of having a mobile entertainment hot spot can be at the tips of your fingers. This is a possibility when turning a class b motorhome into a mobile entertainment hotspot. Conversion vans are wonderful for creating mobile hot spots. There several reasons why.
The first is that there is a lot of room inside of this vehicle to hold the equipment necessary for entertainment. Secondly, the size is big enough to fit a lot of entertainment inside yet small enough to be mobile. This means that with a little bit of the imagination a true entertainment Mogul can convert a class b motorhome into the city’s best entertainment hotspot.
This is a time when making money is very important to many families, having a class b motorhome is a wonderful money maker. There are several different types of entertainment options that a class b motorhome owner can use in order to turn their vehicle into cash in their pocket.

Mobile Internet Café and Study Groups

Having an internet cafe is very important for many reasons there are many individuals who do not have access to the internet in their homes. A mobile internet café would mean that the class b motorhome would have to have WI-if installed. A wonderful idea for the café is to host study groups or parties for colleges. High school, standardize test, and other study group parties would also be great uses for the café. Hosting internet cafe study groups are awesome money makers in cities with large college populations.

Karaoke Bars and Amateur Talent Nights
Another option for a class b motorhome entertainment spot is a karaoke bar. This is an event that could create an outdoor club type atmosphere without the overhead. Filling the vehicle with audio equipment will attract customers passing by to take advantage of singing and dancing to their favorite song. Having snacks or drinks available will increase profits. Sponsoring talent nights can give customers an alternative to visiting the same clubs and inspire visits by winning prizes. Who doesn’t like to watch local talent? Hosting birthday parties and other social parties can bring singing and dancing right to the doorstep of guests.

Mobile Movie Theater and Love Mobile

A movie theater is a wonderful idea for this type of vehicle. For individuals and who are interested in having a private romantic time. For customers, riding in the back of a class b motorhome while watching a movie can create those 1960’s drive in theater feeling. The greatest quality is that there is someone driving the customer around so they can sit back and enjoy themselves.

Gaming Competitions

In today’s world, everybody’s looking for that gaming partner. Hosting a gaming center is ideal for conversion vans. Having the inside draped in black will create a cozy effect to make the gamer feel like they are in the game. Hosting competitions along with game debuts will generate the profit that any mobile business needs.

I like old TV shows.

Old, and I will admit, somewhat strange. Turn on the Alfred Hitchcock Hour, the Outer Limits, or my personal favorite, the Twilight Zone, and I won’t talk to you until the show is over. One network has a Twilight Zone marathon over New Years—and what I don’t stay up to see I record, even though I haveINVENTORY2 seen most of those shows over and over. They just don’t make TV shows like that anymore.

Now, we have talked about the benefits of the Roadtrek Class B motor home, the best selling such vehicle in North America for twenty years. Regardless of whether your trip is near or far, you never have to leave home without all the comforts you are used to. Your own shower, kitchen, bedroom, and most importantly, entertainment area! Imagine after a long day on the road, and exhausting time of travel and sightseeing, how about a little rest and relaxation with a Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock DVD? You can enjoy it from the twin beds in the back, or the captains’ seats up front. That’s living, folks, and living large at that!

There are so many positives to a Roadtrek. It’s easy to handle on the open road or in heavy traffic. Parking is a breeze because of the Roadtrek’s smaller size. It gets much better gas mileage than a full sized SUV. Make your own meals, no more hotels and loading and unloading the van. No more restroom breaks needed in the middle of nowhere—a Roadtrek makes traveling a pleasure across town or across the country. Wherever you want to go, the Roadtrek is more than capable of taking you there.

And to top it all off, to make it a perfect experience, there are the Alfred Hitchcock and Twilight Zone DVDs. Be careful though, you might have to sleep with the lights on!

The 25th President of the United States, William McKinley, was born on January 28th, 1843.

So what, you ask?

Well, he was born in Niles, Ohio.

Again you ask, so what?

William McKinley was president from 1897-1901, when the auto industry was in its infancy. During his presidency, McKinley took a drive in a Stanley Steamer, thus becoming the first president to ride in an automobile. Wonder how many of you pals know that?

Here is something else I bet your buddies don’t know. The Roadtrek is the number one selling Class B Motorhome in North America. Impressive, right? How about this—it’s been number one for two decades! It’s a winning streak that any politician would be proud of, and is well deserved for one of the most versatile vehicles on the roadway today.

The Roadtrek class b van is easy to handle, has better fuel efficiency than a full sized SUV, fits easily into car-sized parking spots because of its smaller size, yet has all the features you would expect from a bigger motor home. How’s that for versatility?

The Roadtrek has it all—bathroom, kitchen, bedroom—and you take it wherever you go. To the beach, the kids’ soccer games, the grocery store, or across the country for a sightseeing vacation, Roadtreks make traveling a pleasure. In fact, things are so nice inside that you might just want to stay there after you reach your destination.

President McKinley would be impressed, and if the Roadtrek had been around in his day, I’m sure he would have chosen to ride in style. You can make that choice, and the process is easy.

Dave Arbogast has a large selection of Roadtreks, and they are all featured on line. Do your shopping from the comfort of your home, then come to the dealership at 3540 South County Road 25-A, Troy, Ohio, or simply give us a call at 1-866-975-3287. Our van professionals will get you into the right vehicle, and we can deliver it to your driveway anywhere in North America.

It won’t be winter much longer. Spring is really right around the corner (ok, it’s a far corner) and the question is—will you be ready?

For what? For the season of travel that lies ahead. What will you do when the open road calls? When those four walls surrounding you start closing in, and cabin fever strikes, what will you do?

Those owning a Roadtrek SS-Agile already have an answer. They go where the open road takes them, and beyond. At 19’ 5”, the Agile is several feet shorter than the Sprinter Chassis that finally made it to North America from Europe several years ago. It’s an ideal getaway machine for those wanting less hassle, better fuel economy, AND one of the most trusted names in the Class B motor home business.

If you wince every time you go the pumps, this class b motorhome will ease your pain with 20+ miles per gallon. The famed Mercedes Benz V-6 turbo engine and a tighter turning Radius make the Agile a pleasure to drive.  Parking is also a breeze as the Agile’s smaller size makes it easy to pull into regular parking spots.

The interior of the Agile will simply wow you. The galley is nearly 6 feet in length, with granite countertop, 3.8 cubic foot refrigerator, convection/microwave oven, and recessed stove with glass cover. A hard sided bathroom sits opposite the kitchen area to add to the comforts of home. A marine toilet, shower and sink provide both privacy and comfort.

Still looking for more? Try out the 11,000 BTU air conditioner, 16,000 BTU furnace, home theatre package including DVD, CD player and 5.1 surround sound with multiple speakers, rear backup camera, 6.5’ touch screen monitor and 50 cubic feet of storage, and you may have a hard time finding a reason to go HOME.

Really, the only question you should have is “How quickly can I get my hands on one of these?” That’s an easy one to answer. Dave Arbogast in Troy, Ohio has a wide range of Roadtreks, and the buying experience couldn’t be easier. See our inventory on line, and then call one of our van professionals at 1-866-975-3257.
