Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Did some horse trading and ended up with one....its in nice condition and has a great solar package , had alot of add ons and a Vue cube included.....motor was changed out 13000 miles ago....got it from an Estate from someone who inherited it and had no idea of its value.
Figure this would help me size wise to get back out there....its alot easier to handle than the big one and cost wise cuts expenses down alot!!...its just me and the dog , so it will work.
I have a buyer for the Supreme so Im going to let it go and consolidate a little until I can get beyond my problems here....

Don't have any real experiance with the unit, but was in a Trek of that vintage about 5 or 6 years ago. My impression at that time was that the unit was not of very good quality.
This was just my first impression and maybe it was just the unit I was in. If I remember right, it had a bed that was raised to the roof by cables when not in use.

Mike I always liked the Trek Safari line, I liked the design, body style, and the animal theme, murals etc.... Unfortunately my opinions and knowledge do not extend beyond the superficial. What are you thinking?
I have known some serious boondockers who really liked Trek's so I think you will also like it. Since the bed has a 400lb limit, at least that is what I remember, it didn't work for many RV couples who like to eat. If you ever have problems with the bed, find someone to help you that has experience with it since I have been told it can be tricky to repair.

Sounds good Mike, as long as the mechanics check out (and that's your dept) you should be good to go, I always liked them, looking forward to seeing it one day.
I like the drop down bed, it makes the living area open and livable when in the day mode. I always thought of them as well put together, even the exterior compartments are nicely laid out, seems perfect to me for a man and his dog........
We own a 2003 Monaco Safari Trek 2810. This is the unit with the large bathroom. We love ours and think it is the best thing since sliced bread. The basic concept is similar for all years. Early models were Isuzu diesels, then GM 6.5 diesel, Chev 454, Ford, and finally Workhorse/GM 8.1. Monaco stopped building Treks after 2008. Current market would seem to be a great time to revive the concept.
The concept of the bed in the ceiling that comes down at night and goes up out of the way during the day. We don't tow around 8-10 feet of bedroom that we only use at night. Plus we are short enough to get into USFS and state park campgrounds. We have the living space of a 36 - 38 foot coach in a 29 foot coach.
Check out Trek Tracks at www.nwtfc.com/forum for all kinds of info on Treks.
We also belong to the NW Trek Fun Club. there are about 70 members of the club. There are similar clubs in southwest, southeast, and northeast.
