Their motto is “All of our vehicles are driven to satisfaction.” That pretty well sums up the guarantee of Dave Arbogast and his time at Arbogast Conversion Vans in Troy, Ohio. Arbogast had dream in mind when he purchased the a car dealership there in 1992. Before the first year had gone by he could see that the original facility and location just weren’t big enough for what he was planning. He purchased 35 more acres the very next year and that was the beginning of a new modern facility and with it an expanded dream.

The dealership grew by leaps and bounds. Soon a building for pre-owned vehicles went up, then a facility for boats and RV’s. The business just kept growing. First there were new vehicles, then used vehicles, then RV’s, the boats and then conversion vans. One of the latest adventures has been in that ever-popular market of fifth-wheel trailers and other travel homes and motor homes. The reasons for this rapid expansion are many. Every vehicle is guaranteed. There is certainly something here for everyone, every budget, every family, every need, every adventure. The inventory is expansive. There are many dealerships all over the United States that offer the same vehicles and watercraft and motor homes that Arbogast offers. But one important convenience stands out with the Arbogast dealership. Everything they offer can be found at one location. That’s a hard deal to beat.

Arbogast has received awards and commendations for every product they carry and every manufacturer they represent. He has certainly earned his place as an industry leader in every facet of the business. Another reason for their success is the availability for you to have you vehicle picked up and brought to the facility for service and also to receive delivery anywhere of a vehicle you purchase.

With all the awards and achievements it just seems to follow that the Arbogast dealership would classes as the #1 Class B MotorHomes in all the state of Ohio. The offer everything in motor homes from Airstream Interstate to Roadtrek RS Adventurous to Winnebago Era. This is the place for the best deals you’ll find in class B motor homes.

So there you have it, many reasons for the fast expansion and the continual growth of the Arbogast dealership. Dave Arbogast says those reasons are all true, but he adds one more thing. The real reason for the explosive growth and success of the dealership lies in these two words: Customer Satisfaction.

Why Roadtrek?

By · December 13, 2011 · Filed in Class B Motorhome, Roadtrek · No Comments »

Roadtrek has been compared to larger vans simply because of its ability to compact the same features of a Class B motorhome. They are complete motorhomes built on a van chassis. After a day of driving along the highways and enjoying the views, everyone can settle down to a comfortable night’s sleep in style. The Roadtrek has all of the facilities included in a full size motor home; these features include:

. 3-way refrigerator

. Microwave

. bathroom with toilet

. shower

. demand water system

. holding tanks

. sleeps up to four

. comes decked out with one or two single beds up front, or twin beds, double or king-size bed in the back

. gets from 14 to 22 mpg on the highway

. rear window defroster on most models

. the cab can be converted into a dining and entertainment area

. choice of optional power sofa that converts into a queen size bed

With a Roadtrek’s comparatively small size, parking is a cinch. Instead of going through the hassle of searching, for numerous spaces on the periphery of the region they are in, standard sized parking spots will suffice, avoiding larger RV parking restrictions. Campsites are another area where Roadtrek Class B motorhomes will find more freedom, since many larger homes cannot fit into these areas, and are not permitted.

Roadtreks are considered more than a family camper. Bedecked with up to seven forward facing seats with seatbelts, it is ideal for a second vehicle. The price of possessing and using a Roadtrek is much cheaper than having a second motor vehicle, or having a motorhome in storage. The resale value for Roadtrek Class B motorhomes is high, along with a lower depreciation rate than an automobile. In a widespread study of over 1800 Roadtrek owners, more than 82% that are opting to buy a new RV planed on buying another Roadtrek.

If campers, travelers or adventurers are looking for an exceptional fuel-friendly motorhome, because of Roadtrek’s sleek form and smaller size and weight, it is the perfect Class B RV choice. Roadtrek is just a fantastic, convenient way to get around, for those who love being on the road, and on a budget. They save on lodging and eating out as well.

Unique and Useful RV Accessories

By · December 12, 2011 · Filed in News · No Comments »

Purchasing a new RV can be an exciting, new venture for your family. Visions of how your family will spend time around a campfire, participating in outdoor activities, and just lazing around in the wilderness flood your mind. However, many people are at a loss when it comes to shopping for and purchasing RV accessories. These accessories can be found, not only in your RV, but they can also be used in various ways to help your family feel more at home while on your camping trip. Not to mention, these accessories aren’t always a bad idea for entertaining guests or general RV maintenance, either.

Since RVs are essentially mobile homes, many of the items used within an RV must meet different specifications than those used within one’s own home. For example, special toilet paper must be used that will not clog up the septic system, and it may help save space to invest in disposable dining utensils–or at least invest in smaller versions. In addition, collapsible carts may be useful for storing personal items, and utility hooks may be necessary to organize wiring, bags, or lanterns. Although some RV’s come with built-in refrigerators, not all provide this amenity. Not to mention, they are oftentimes very small. Thus, a cooler may be necessary for extra food storage.

While most of these RV accessories are made for use inside of an RV, outdoor accessories can be just as important and/or attractive. Many campers like to decorate camp sites or the area around their RV with lamps, tiki torches, tables, and chairs. The most common and efficient forms of furniture are ones that are collapsible and can be stored inside of an RV, as well. In addition, extra waste receptacles are always a good idea to include on a camping trip.

Oftentimes, individuals are lost when considering where the best place to purchase RV accessories is. Although individuals can visit any mass retailer to find accessories, they may lack variety. In addition, traditional RV stores can be pricey for the products they carry. Therefore, shopping online for accessories can be a very logical way to purchase these necessities. Shopping online allows individuals to take their time browsing through inventory and allows them to make sensible selections. Also, individuals can often find a larger variety of accessories online and can choose shipping options that ensure the timely delivery of your purchases.

Traveling in Style

By · December 10, 2011 · Filed in Class B Motorhome, Roadtrek · No Comments »

Traveling in style doesn’t mean you sit back in a small convertible and drive for miles on the highway. Sure, this is fun for a few hours during the summer months, but what happens when the weather turns cold, or you plan on driving 12 hours with a back seat full of kids? Well the small convertible just isn’t going to be as fun anymore, or as convenient. This is where traveling in a Roadtrek vehicle is optimal, and offers more convenience and comfort than any other vehicle on the road. It has all the ability of an RV or motorhome, yet handles and drives just like a large SUV or van. If you are thinking about upgrading to a new traveling vehicle, the Roadtrek might just be the perfect travel option for you.

The Roadtrek has a full sized bed compartment in the raised roof of the vehicle. This allows you to go sleep, wherever you go, without ever checking into a hotel. On long road trips, this is going to save you a considerable amount of money. On top of this, it is possible for individuals to sleep in the bed while you are driving, and even if they don’t want to climb up to the bed, the fold out seats in the rear of the van are more than enough to make for a comfortable nap.

The features of the Roadrek Class B are what really makes the vehicle worthy of buying. The van has a built in bathroom, so you no longer need to make pitstops for those passengers with small bladders. Plus, the bathroom also has a sink and even turns into a sit down shower, so cleaning yourself is possible, regardless of your current location in the country. On top of this, there is a built in fridge and microwave, so snacks can be passed and shared while driving. This helps keep the soda cold and the popcorn fresh, as after several hours of driving, the soda cans tend to become warm, after sitting in the back seat, exposed to sunlight, in a normal vehicle. In addition, when you stop, there is a pull out grill attached to a propane tank. This allows you to grill food, without checking into a restaurant, which is just going to eat up your vacation fund. With the help of the Roadtrek, you not only are going to enjoy your vacation, but you’ll save money along the way.
