When did Roadtrek change the storage of batteries?
In 2011, Roadtrek changed the storage of the coach batteries. The first time that I saw this was the day I took delivery of my Roadtrek. Every Roadtrek 190 that I saw before this – and I had never seen a 2011 model – had two battery compartments. One was above the back passenger wheel and accessed by a locked compartment door from the outside.
