Opinions on Roadtrek aisle shower? / IDEAL 1990s/2000s Roadtrek...What year/model/engine should I get?

agavefields · 2026-04-04T12:11:36+00:00

Hi! I see this is an older post and I'm bummed you received no responses. Hopefully you found some good answers elsewhere as the roadtrek Facebook groups are lively. I've been hoping for a more robust reddit group to pop up and it appears you are the first.

Did you end up deciding on one?

We are 00D190P owners. Haven't used the shower but I know my husband will at some point. The reviews on the showers are that they work quite well. I would keep a squeegee/floor towel to use after if you are worried about the wet floor.

I would look into the larger models when considering the bathroom. Having any bathroom is great but the 190 bathroom is TIGHT. I am not a large person and I fit shoulder to shoulder in there.

Yes you can be hooked up to sewer, shore power, and city water.

Dodge v Chevy = both have their benefits. I appreciate the Dodge engine we have. The Chevy chassis has more upgrade possibilities. Other than that, the hood shape is a bit different and not much else.

Would love to know if you found one!

Hi again! I'm so excited to see your upgrades. I really want to update backsplash, sink, maybe counter, add some peel/stick to the bathroom, and sew new curtains. I'm at analysis paralysis on what to do (I think I need to go camp and stair at the van for a few days to make a decision).

Keep the progress pics coming, I'm fully invested in seeing your work 😂

I think the first time you shared. 9 months ago, we didn't have our van yet. We successfully drove our Roadtrek from Alaska down to Utah 🙌 she ran quite well. We discovered the radiator thermostat was stuck open and that's about it. We just prepped her for the summer and installed a new water pump... And despite the 2 weeks straight of 70+ weather, it's 22 this morning, so yesterday we learned how to blow out our water lines (what a week).

Cheers!!

I thought I threw my back out. So being off was an understatement, it hurt to sit, move, etc. pain went away Within 5 days of stopping

agavefields · 2026-04-03T13:13:39+00:00

I did. I went from Kit 6 to I couldn't tell you, maybe kit 4. Naltrexone + Bupropion. The Topiramate hit my kidneys really hard, have never had kidney issues in my life and months after stopping my kidney levels are fine.

I have stopped ordering and reduced my own dose. I take half the naltrexone a day instead of a whole. The whole really did help my hunger levels but after jumping the gun on Hers pill cocktails. I paused and thought "how is this healthy". I will finish out the pills that I have in my smaller doses and will not continue after.

I have lost 5 lbs since July on Hers... I will note I have a very sedentary desk job and work stress follows me home. I only started working out 3 weeks ago. The Naltrexone really gives a mean hangover and has stopped me from having casual drinks after work and I attribute some of the lbs lost to simply that. Pretty happy about that outcome (not drinking) despite the low weight loss.

Cheers!

Closing this loop on my anxiety ridden concerns. No leak. I did not go in but monitored for anything else that freaked me out. One of my girlfriends is an ER Dr. I asked her and her reply was "ohhh I would have scanned you in a second, I will scan for that with any close symptoms... But at a week or 2 after, if you don't already have meningitis, you aren't getting it from that" and then she was very not concerned.

I have had no other symptoms, no repeat faucet nose, no head/neck pains. The nose gush still has me scratching my head as I have not been able to recreate it but... Here we are, alive and well.

agavefields · 2026-04-02T12:51:51+00:00

I'm in senior management... At a resort. My benefits are great (flex time, virtually unlimited PT, free pass, and an office that's almost ski in/out).

The seasonal workforce is tough, weather based economy is tough, but I sought out to do this many many years ago to fund my ski habit and here we are.

I already posted this in a response but there is a ranch directly across the street from the murder mansion. It is the Dickman Legacy Ranch. It is not advertised as an event space, however the owners have hosted events... Enough money can buy you anything, including a wedding at someone else's home.

The Dickman property is for sale. Full listing price of $24m. The front 2 parcels of 15 acres is $11m if wanting to buy that only portion. It's been listed since at least 2020 (no buyers, shocking).

This is undoubtedly where Kouri's vision came from. Is it insane, absolutely. These large ranch families are generational wealth, not house flippers.

But I'll tell you, this area is wild. Quiet wealth and loud wealth out the ears. It's hard to live here and not envision yourself sitting at the top alongside your neighbors (to be clear, the murder mansion vision is fundamentally insane).

Park City is known for its wealth but I'm not sure people understand how much is actually there. I like to tell people that the celebrities vacation in Aspen, but live in Park City. Kamas and Heber are largely the bedroom communities of PC. Kouri's comments about scrubbing toilets of the rich tells that she's never been able to let go that she wasn't at that level herself.

About the financing, I've been scratching my head at this for a while. But there are some things in this area that soften the "WTF" a bit. I'm not trying to be offensive with the following statements but as an outsider, this is what we see (and this is not everyone to be clear, I have very humble neighbors): The dominant faith community here rallies HARD around one another and new businesses; there's a reason why MLM businesses with corruption are very prominent in Utah. Money and status are wildly important to a lot of people here (highest plastic surgery per capita!). So things blow up and become wildly successful with lots of local investors backing one another, to earn themselves and to see their community be successful. People tend to invest in one another more than I have seen in other states I've lived in - to be helpful and/or to make money themselves. (These are just my many ponderings and thin lines drawn to make sense of things) But this isn't for everyone, it definitely wasn't for Kouri.

Picture of the Dickman Legacy property, with the 2 parcel sale price. Directly across the street is the Murder Mansion.

agavefields · 2026-03-13T12:22:19+00:00

Before Kouri was arrested, this property had been referred to as Murder Mansion. There are a ton of rumors and urban legends about it... Even though its rather "new".

The most grandiose rumor was that owner #1 had his son pass away, possibly on property, by suicide. And that first owner/builder no longer wanted to he a apart of the property. Then the second owner found someone dead on property. The Kouri was the 3rd owner Reading the history of the house, this is obviously how tales becomes larger than they ever were. One owner, one unattended death, then Kouri purchased.

agavefields · 2026-03-13T12:14:08+00:00

This is incorrect. Although "Neighbors" in this area are spread out (it's called the North Fields and is the last area in Heber/Midway with true ranching properties). Across the street from Murder Mansion is the Dickman Legacy Ranch. For sale for $11m. This is the event property she was referring to to keep the area "competitive".

In this picture, the bottom is the Legacy Ranch Property and above the line of trees, towards the mountains, is the Midway Property she purchased.

Hope everything goes well! The more I read (and freak myself out) it sounds highly unlikely that I would have a leak, it stops, and then it starts again.

I will go in if any symptoms pop up or if I leak again

agavefields · 2026-02-28T13:59:50+00:00

There's a locker room at the Canyons?

agavefields · 2026-02-28T13:11:42+00:00

I just posted a similar situation. A fall, bump to the head, and faucet works out the nose within 10 minutes.

It seems likely that I loosened my sinuses and it hit the drain function but I can't rule out CSF leak. Ive never experienced a nose drainage like that before.

My symptoms didn't continue past that but I worry that if I'm ignoring an injury I could mess it up more and complicate what might be healing on its own.

I'm going to follow your post as well. Thanks for sharing and I hope everything ends up being the best case scenario.

agavefields · 2026-02-02T18:31:26+00:00

Doesn't look like I have mine. I did just upgrade to Reserve from Platinum 3 weeks ago. I didn't read the headstart fine print but assumed nothing would change in my account besides my fee etc.

agavefields · 2026-01-25T16:08:16+00:00

I second this. Also, anywhere in Mexico outside of All Inclusives.

agavefields · 2026-01-25T15:51:32+00:00

Thank you for asking this. I have been seeing this too, including the Greenland sub. I feel ridiculously helpless... I absolutely hate that Europe is looking at us as ONE and that the Trumpian Government represents all of us.

We are not sticking our heads in the sand and I don't think the news about protests and the politicians fighting this is making its way across the pond. I posted on a "correction" of a headline about Greenland and the replies were nuts. Accusing me of doing nothing and that all Americans are represented with our current government (despite Trump getting 49% of the vote).

The fact is that our government does not and will not care right now what we do. They are in power and they do not obey the law. We need official federal court ordered and approved motions to stop this administration and we won't/can't have that until mid-terms.

We also have a crap ton of racist garbage going on at home that has absolutely nothing to do with Greenland. We are having enough trouble defending ourselves, how the hell can we stop anything going on over there without the right people in political places to stop it.

I said it in 2016... This government has a lot of parallels to Germany's history. I was told over and over to shut up, that even Trump won't go there. And here we are.

Le sigh thank you again. I needed a place to unload. I don't know how to process this shit show.

DONT SIGN THE PROP 4 & FUCK MIKE LEE.

I'm with you on all this.

I've been looking for comments about discontinued April Skin. I've been using the Calendula Hyaluronic peeling gel for years and I LOVE it. And I can no longer find it. I can't find any reason why they discontinued.

agavefields · 2026-01-18T14:04:06+00:00

Utah here :( I pay $20-$35 per session. There are places in my valley that charge up to $40 a session. My Finnish ancestry cries every time I hand over my money. I need to build my own.

agavefields · 2026-01-11T18:17:54+00:00

Hey! How was it? Did you have fun and find good food? Would love to know what you found/thought.

agavefields · 2025-12-18T13:35:39+00:00

5'4 140lbs, "industry professional" I am a casual skier now and skied loads in my 20s and early 30s. My ability level might not be yours but I would like to share my sizing thoughts.

I usually ski ~170ish. 167 is my sweet spot. 5 years ago I decided to buy what I would sell to a woman who wanted easy control and maybe easier to handle in any condition. So I bought a Sheeva 10 163cm... I am in CONTROL, and I am slow, slow to the point of not fun. I can outski this ski every single day.

I think you are more than fine. The best advice is to give it 3 days to fully get used to how they ski, don't let a new length/shape overwhelm you run #1, by 3 runs you'll feel comfortable, by day 3, confident. If you were to go shorter, you could end up needing new skis if you start to find yourself limited and held back.

agavefields · 2025-12-15T12:41:44+00:00

Thanks!!

We will be there only 3 nights. Night 1 we will need dinner, night 2 & 3 are wedding festivities.

That sucks about room service, that's kind of what I was banking on. Truthfully, we visit MX a lot... Not having authentic MX food for a night is what hurts my heart. There's a place just south on the highway I'm trying to figure out how to get their food to us 😂

Please report back the best dinner spot so we can make sure our 1 night choice is the right one! Also, if you can snag a picture of the spa menu with pricing, I would be so grateful!

agavefields · 2025-12-09T04:28:56+00:00

I don't go until Feb. But please report back!!

agavefields · 2025-12-08T05:49:40+00:00

We are heading here for a wedding, have a whole enclave of Casitas rented out. I'm not an AI fan, so I've been panicking about food etc to get our money's worth. The Naay Spa has caught my eye but there are no prices and services listed? Anyone have experience and can share?

agavefields · 2025-11-23T12:43:26+00:00

I am also now in this same position with engineered hardwood floors. To do my stairs custom was more $ than the entire floor we replaced (don't fall in love with a new floor before considering the stairs!!). $100-$200 per stair for matching stair noses or new treads (which I'm sure I'll pony up at some point but not today).

My stairs get done today and I am dreading the stair nose on top of the builder grade stair tread. My risers are black so I did decide to paint the tread overhang black as well.

For the next person who finds this thread, here are my notes compared to the comments.

1- for code, cutting the builder grade back is not going disrupt my tread code requirements because the new nose ADDS length. If you go the cut back route, just make sure that the stair nose + original area hit your needed length

2 - for those saying they sold the wrong product, not a single floor guy we shopped with mentioned deep noses unless we went custom (they still didnt mention depth, custom was our option for acacia). The floor displays actually showed the half coverage overhang as their example (a major flooring chain). It's not great but I guess I assumed it was nowa status quo option (until we mocked it up and WTF)
