A Roadtrek is considered a Class B motorhome (see below) and is the brainchild of Jac Hanemaayer who had a dream to combine the comforts of a larger motorhome into a compact and easy-to-drive van. The Roadtrek was truly born in 1980 when Hanemaayer redesigned a Home & Park vehicle to align with his compact-living dream, adding the sweeping roofline and three-section floor plan.

We have purchased a 1981 Roadtrek, which means we're riding in a time machine, all the way back to the beginning! The internet is very quiet about the 1981 and I've had a terrible time trying to find information. Even photos are hard to come by — a problem I hope to remedy! 😉 Below is a floor plan of the two different types of Roadtreks. These are based on modern versions, but the foot print has stayed relatively the same. Ours is most like the Versatile, but instead of the single bench seat along the back, there are two facing benches that fold down into a bed. We have to fit five of us in there, both for travel and for sleeping. Seem impossible? Then you don't know us very well!

Check out the first look video tour posted below. This was taken the morning after we picked her up, before we made any changes to her interior.



Class A = classy glamping (big, fancy, a full house on wheels, generally built on a commercial bus or truck chassis)

Class B = basically a van (looks like an oversized van, some creature comforts like toilet and sink)

Class C - cabin overhead  (the compromise between A & B - more storage and sleeping space that B, smaller than A)
