A look at the new Roadtrek TS Adventurous

A look at the new Roadtrek TS Adventurous 1

At the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association Trade Show in Louisville this week, Jennifer and I got to spend some time in Roadtrek Motorhomes' brand new TS Adventurous – a high end model for 2014 built on the full sized Sprinter platform. This gorgeous new addition to the Roadtrek lineup is tricked out with a new interior and a proprietary technology system that lets you monitor and control your vehicle's various comfort interior settings and  from a tablet or smartphone from anywhere via the Internet.

The Roadtrek TS Adventurous

Special on board cameras let you, say, check up on fido when you leave your pet back in the coach while taking a hike or when you are out for dinner. You can similarly adjust the air conditioning, lights and monitor battery, plumbing and electrical circuits.

As a tech guy, I was instantly hooked.

Jennifer liked the luxurious European styling, the new dark laminate polished cabinetry. It's a charcoal-like color accented by chrome. There is a built in work station for a laptop or tablet, raised appliances on a granite counter for ease of use and an induction cooktop for faster and more even cooking.

Also included in the TS is LED strip lighting with dimming control, power awning with outdoor lights, heated floors, a large 1350 watt air conditioner and rear electrical and water hook ups. It can seat seven, four up front on swiveling Captain's Chair, and three in the back on the sofa, which converts to a king sized-bed with the push of a switch

And the same innovations like solar power, heated floors, an engine generator and other features of models like the eTrek (also on the Sprinter platform) or the 40th Anniversary Special Edition (a Roadtrek 190 Popular model on the Chevy chassis) can be fitted to the TS Adventurous.

  1. The Ford transit van is on it’s way ! The cost should be about half what the M/B coast ! Go to ford .com & look for com.veh . van ,when you see them they look like a M/B van . Major M/H com. May have already started up fitting the chaises, they come in cut a way van as reg. van , with 3 roof heights ,& 3 wheel bases.

    1. I had one of these in Europe and made us really happy

  2. The only drawback on these is that cost more than some larger RVs with more room. That is kinda sad.

  3. Thanks for sharing. Will be looking into this model come January…

  4. I have 2 Powerball tickets in my wallet. I’d gladly spend my winnings on one of these. All I need is a lot of luck.

  5. For this high-end model about $150,000+. I still love my 1999 Roadtrek 190 better. Roadtrek is a good motorhome. Love mine.

  6. Saw these at the Charger Fanfare, wasn’t impressed at all and then saw the $140,000 price sticker no way!

  7. How much new in the states. Here in Canada they are 100000 plus ouch

  8. Dave this is what I want to get for retirement instead of big rv, been looking at them

  9. Joanne Phelps says:

    I would love to have one, but we can’t afford.

  10. Rick Hunt says:

    This is the way we camp.

  11. Marti-Tony Hoffman says:

    What’s the starting price?

  12. Ken Huckeba says:

    It would be hoooooot!

  13. Darrel Adamson says:

    When will Roadtrek have one of the new 4X4 sprinter conversions?

  14. Can’t tell anything but the outside. What does the inside look like?

  15. Me too!! Fortune come my way, please

  16. Irv Horton says:

    ThTs..nice..I could see you in that one…

  17. Pat Mesic says:

    love the color. Not the typical style either.

  18. Jay Vorley says:

    Denny Vorley

  19. Sandi Coll says:

    They must get about 3 miles per gallon with all that added “luxury.”

  20. I love this new model! It’s absolutely gorgeous! Hoping to win the lottery and get to buy one …. until then, lest my 2009 RS Adventurous gets jealous, I love you too, Maria!

  21. I’m ready to trade in my 2013 RS for the TS. It does everything my model does not do…and I think I would love those new cabinet latches!

  22. Pam Hicks says:

    Great report & fabulous vehicle. Bonus: the opportunity to see Jim & a glimpse of Howard – important folks in my Roadtrek family!

  23. angie o'malley says:

    Thank you Mike…wow! I especially like the work station since I work when we travel. A pretty luxurious office on wheels!

  24. Simply gorgeous….I noticed the change in handles. Are these on all new models.

  25. Barbara Dunham says:

    I would like to volunteer to be a driver to see how well a single lady and her dog, do driving the new unit. Looks just right for me.

  26. Yolanda Anguiano says:

    It left me speechless!

  27. Beautiful…
    Are you trading, Mike???
