Kitchener, Ontario, CANADA – August 22, 2005 -- Home & Park is excited to announce the latest addition to its family of Roadtrek camper vans, the RS-Adventurous. Based on the Mercedes built Sprinter 2500 series van, it will be officially introduced at The Great North American RV Rally, July 11-14, 2005 in Redmond, OR. Shipping to dealers across the continent will begin in August. The RS-Adventurous is the ultimate vehicle for those who want to travel with the flexibility to bring along friends and family to share in their “spirit of adventure” – all in a 22’ motorhome that gets up to 22 miles per US gal. (11 litres/100 Km)!
The new RS-Adventurous combines legendary Mercedes-Benz automotive engineering with the ingenious RV design
creativity you’ve come to expect from Roadtrek.
The Sprinter van is designed and built by Mercedes for unsurpassed fuel economy, durability, safety, practicality, comfort and quality.
-
Powered by a fuel efficient CDI (common-rail direct injection) turbo diesel engine, you’ll enjoy awesome fuel economy, long service intervals and great longevity.
-
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) uses numerous sensors to determine when the vehicle is starting to skid or
otherwise lose control and applies the traction control and anti-lock braking systems to slow selected wheels until vehicle control is regained.
-
The traction control system also improves traction on slippery surfaces.
-
Driving pleasure is enhanced with rack and pinion steering and a smooth shifting five-speed automatic transmission.
-
The space efficient engine bay and cab architecture maximize useable interior length.
-
The almost vertical exterior side panels maximize interior space while maintaining an overall exterior width smaller than other full-size vans.
-
The cab is equipped with factory “comfort seats”. On long trips, you’ll appreciate the 10-way adjustability, lumbar
supports and headrests.
-
And Mercedes-Benz quality. Need we say more?
Inside you’ll find Roadtrek’s timeless space utilization blended with a few new twists.
-
Like all other Roadtreks, the cab seats swivel to use the cab area as living space – crucial in an RV this size.
-
The secondary seating, close enough for comfortable in transit conversations, consists of lounge seats designed for
improved comfort (but do not convert to beds) or optional captain’s seats for even greater comfort on or off the road. All four captain’s seats swivel for optimal dining, game playing or just shootin’ the breeze. The second row will even swivel towards the rear to give everyone a great view of the TV.
-
The ability to dine at the front lets you leave the rear king or twin beds made up for sleeping full time. People can wake up and retire at different times, plus you don't have to set up a dinette or sofa to eat every morning, or make up a bed every night.
-
More comfortable front sleeping is attained with our new optional folding mattresses. Stored during the day, they rest on top of the front four seats to provide longer, flat and more even sleeping surfaces. When you don’t need the extra sleeping, just leave them at home.
-
With no gables or cabinetry at either end of the galley, this new Roadtrek is open from front to rear on the driver’s side. Panoramic windows from front to rear provide daylight and openness unrivalled in any other class B.
-
To maximize the already generous storage space, an optional hanging pantry can be added to the rear end of the galley.
-
The permanent bathroom’s unique doors maximize aisle width when the bathroom’s not in use. Yet when in use there’s ample space inside while keeping the aisle clear. Inside the bathroom you’ll find a toilet, vanity sink, slide-out counter over the top drawer and a sit-down or stand-up shower.
“With its front seating for four, central galley and bathroom, and rear king or twin beds, the new RS-Adventurous provides openness and livability not found in any other class B. Add Mercedes’ German automotive excellence to Roadtrek’s RV
ingenuity and you’ve got an unbeatable combination!” stated Chairman Jeff Hanemaayer.
