Hi all,
Thanks to all that have posted here. My wife and I found the info here very helpful and picked up our 2002 B+/Ford last week. We’re spizzed! In the end, we decided that the problems that were being reported could easily occur in any rv, and that the difference in price, small-yet-bigger-than-a-B size, and slide-out made this the right choice for us. The fact that the majority of the issues listed on this board were minor (and were subsequently resolved) gave us the confidence to stroke the check.
One question though: Does anybody know of a bike rack for the B+ that will allow the use of the back door even when the bikes are on the rack? (If we use a ladder rack or hitch-mounted rack, the bikes would still block the back door.)
Thanks again for all of the input.

P.S. For others who are still shopping: We specifically wanted a barely used 2002 211S/Ford. We combed the net and found it with 3,900 miles for 36k. We found the cheapest quotes for new ones to be from www.campersfactoryoutlet.com ($41k for 2003 Ford V-10 B+ 211 w/ slide-out) and www.robertcristandco.com (under $42 for the same thing). Also, there is a 2002 211S in Hudson, MI for sale w/ 12,000 miles. Asking is 39k. They’d probably take 36k (total guess). The unit is posted on www.Rvcorner.com . Best wishes.
