I am looking at Renegades right now and would sure like to get feed back from owners of the good, bad, like and dislikes.

Thank you

Ed

Ed,
I do not own one but looked and drove a few before buying my Dip. I must say for me I would have prefered the Renegade but I got such a good deal on mine I couldn't pass it up.

I drove the big 4 slide with a 515 Detroit and 13 speed and it has an insane amount of power. It is after all a truck, twin screws in back, much better brakes, and can pull 30k lbs all day long. I thought they were very well built and drove like a sports car compared to my coach.

The cons,
Not much basement storage as there are no pass throughs and the turning radius is not as tight but still fairly good. I think this might be a problem for someone full timing but I suppose you could pull a house with you. Some people told me there wasn't a good resale on them due to a limited market, but I would think that for be a long term purchase.

I guess in short I would of bought the Renegade if I had the funds.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Jason

Jason, Thank you for your thoughts on the Renegade. I have not driven one yet but have looked at a couple and I think you are right on regarding the resale but because they a more solid and heavy duty I would think we would own for many years. Based on our needs a Renegade with a garage would work out well provided it meets our required floor plan.
Ed

The ride wasn't bad at all. The garage is nice but the one draw back was the main bed became a bunk bed above the garage. I would maybe consider pulling a trailer behind it, which I was planning to do.

Oh no Jason, the one I looked at a 2010 had a nice master bedroom in front of the garage with a nice bath and living area. Two slides and set up real nice but so was the price. Plenty of living space for the wife and I along with guests. A real sweet set up, just gotta sell my Endeavor.

Hi:

We just got out of yacht ownership and went right for the best....Renegade. We researched all motorhomes like crazy and these are the things we found. Renegade is...
strongest
long lasting
customized
smooth
AAAAAWWWWsome SERVICE dept
great price
get what you pay for

We have had a 45 foot,Volvo 485 made last october. We designed it with a small garage, 5 foot, that can be used for anything. We did not like the cheapness of the class a and found that for the same price we could get the strength and awesome look of the truck conversion. WE LOVE it...

If we can help in any way....just ask..

Rick and Jane Yocum

Rick and Jane, you should come to the www.hdtrally.com in Kansas this October. I'm going and hoping to get as many truck conversions there as we can. I love truck conversions.
