I Lost My Seats At The Super Bowl But At Least We Took Our Conversion Van!

Published Tuesday, 08 February, 2011 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: New Conversion Van, Used Conversion Van.

It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime for my father and I. However, as we pulled into Dallas on Sunday, a foul smell in the air had me thinking otherwise.

The Super Bowl wasn't so "super" for this hombre and his padre. Thank you NFL.

As we arrived to the stadium, we discovered the fire marshal had apparently shut down the section of the stadium we had seats in. In total…

My Review of Dave Arbogast Conversion Vans:

The Super Bowl in a Conversion Van

Published Tuesday, 01 February, 2011 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: New Conversion Van, Used Conversion Van.

It's Super Bowl week!

Can you believe it?

I mean heck, I still haven't been able to settle down from all the excitement Sunday's Pro Bowl game filled me with. (Note: hint of sarcasm included.)

The big game is right around the corner and Pittsburgh Steeler and Green Bay Packer fans alike have begun flocking to Dallas. With that said, hotels are filling up quicker than you can say Troy Polamalu's last name.

Probably one of the most talked about aspects of this year's championship game is how expensive everything is. Package deals (including airfare, hotel, and a rental car) are costing upwards of $1,700 a person. That doesn't even include the cost of the tickets. Heck, some parking spots are even running as much as $1,000!

Considering how expensive this year's big game is, we here at Dave Arbogast Conversion Vans would like to applaud Green Bay Packer fans for both their ingenuity and dedication to the art of mastering Super Bowl accommodations...

Roadtrek Take Me Away!

Published Tuesday, 01 February, 2011 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: Roadtrek Camper Van.

Sleet, freezing rain, snow, ice, more sleet, high winds, when is it ever going to end?

It took me an hour to get the ice off my car this morning, and before I left work, it was covered again. On top of that, now snow is moving into the area, and high winds are expected to cause numerous and long lasting power outages.

I didn't sign up for this did you?

Some people enjoy this stuff but most of them live in Minnesota, or Wisconsin, or the Dakotas, or other places where they deal with this all the time. We don't get enough of it to get used to it, and let me go on record I don't like it one little bit.

It's easy to sit around and do a little daydreaming about warmer weather and about being on the road. The Roadtrek Class B Camper van, the number one selling class B in North America for the past two decades, is the perfect vehicle to escape...

Enjoying the Winter in a Roadtrek Motorhome

Published Wednesday, 26 January, 2011 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: Roadtrek Camper Van.

The snowplow just went by the house again, and I see that another snowstorm is headed toward the East Coast, threatening Boston and New York with 10 inches of new snow.

It's been some winter, hasn't it? Amid local forecasts for a "dry, cold winter", well, they got the cold part right. While there haven't been any 10-12 inch snowfalls, it seems like it snows every other day, and I haven't seen my parking lot since shortly after Thanksgiving.

Roadtrek Class B Motorhome owners don't really care because they know that better days are ahead, with warm temperatures and dry roads, perfect traveling conditions...

Determining the Value of a Conversion Van

Published Friday, 21 January, 2011 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: New Conversion Van, Used Conversion Van.

Believe it or not, trying to determine the value of a conversion van can be quite a tricky task and if you're not careful, it's very easy for an automotive dealership to take advantage of you.

So here is how it works.

If someone is looking for the value of a used vehicle, the first place they will generally go and look is at KBB, BlackBook, NADA, etc. This is fine if you...

Once the weather begins to clear, if indeed winter does ever end, many will turn their thoughts to the road. Where can we go?and maybe more importantly, how do we get there?

My suggestion is always a Roadtrek, the best selling Class B motorhome in America for the past two decades! Let's talk about the 170-Versatile, a vehicle that can take you anywhere you want to go.

So you like to travel with your family but a problem has arisen.

The family car, although reliable, isn't the best option when it comes to providing plenty of space for everyone.

Ever considered purchasing a Conversion Van?

Most families don't have a need to have a RV on hand just so they can occasionally get away. They want something simple, comfortable and efficient. Not only is a conversion van great for the...
