I own a 2017 Road Trek Popular 210. with 60K miles, but the problem started about 48K miles
You would step on the brakes when going down mountain passes and the RV would start to vibrate. slowing down from 65 it shook so violently that I thought I would lose control. I just tapped the brakes to try and slow down. Once I got to level ground the vibrating stopped and the brakes functioned normal.
I replaced ALL the rotors with Delco Slotted rotors (NO HOLES) and Centric premium brake pads.
The RV brakes now work like a charm.
The other thing that surprised me is how fast the original shocks went bad. It was about the same time the brakes started acting up. It creeps up slowly so you don't notice until one day it seems like you have a bounce house.
I replaced the shocks with Monroe Gas Magnum shocks for trucks. One pair cost about $76, the other $90 or so.
What a difference these two changes made. RV rides like butter..
Hope this helps someone else with similar problems.

Hello.
I was wondering if anyone has found an alternative for the plastic latches that keep breaking on the Road Trek Popular 210. I own a 2016-2017 model.
We are down to our last Two.
We were lucky and got ten of them from Road Trek before all the garbage that went down. You cannot find these latches anywhere. They sell smaller ones, but they are totally inadequate and do not work.
Rapido (owner of Road Trek now)does not supply or make these latches.
Thanks,
Dave
