Roadtrek Motorhomes Introduces New Floorplan on Sprinter Chassis

KITCHENER, Ontario -- At the National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky., Roadtrek Motorhomes Inc. introduced the SS-Ideal - an exciting new layout on the smallest Sprinter van – the most fuel efficient chassis in the RV industry, the company said in a press release.

Inside is the industry’s first and only slide room out the rear doors of a Class B (patent pending). With the slide room retracted behind the rear doors, RVers will enjoy the convenience of maneuvering a vehicle less than 20 feet long when parking and driving. Open the rear doors to extend the slide room for an extra 3 feet of living space when they reach your final destination for the day.

By using the existing rear door opening, the vehicle’s original structural integrity is not compromised in any way. The slide-out allows an extra 3 feet of vehicle length to dedicate to a larger permanent bathroom, larger 5-cubic-foot refrigerator and more storage, including an area specifically made for those large reclining lawn chairs.

The slide room contains half of the double bed which converts to a sofa with two seat belts. Along with the sofa, a table and two jump seats create a nice rear seating area for four. A table for the two front captain seats provides a seating area separate from the rear bed.

Dealer reaction to this new model was excellent. “We sold 19 the first day of the show,” said Roadtrek chairman Jeff Hanemaayer. “I knew it would sell well after using the first prototype personally on two trips this past summer and fall. It has the livability of a much larger unit when you’re at the camp site yet it’s so easy slip into a regular sized parking spot.”

THe base manufacturers suggested retail price is $97,110 in the U.S. and $104,000 in Canada. The SS-Ideal is already in
production and will ship to dealers just after New Year’s Day.
