Dan, After reading 12 pages of comments on the Trail-Lite B+ I am sitting here biting my lip so I must respond. We purchased our 211 (no slide) new in June of 2002. 8.1L chevy engine. No on pushes me up those mountains. Now have 31,000 miles on it and I must say that next to my wife and my MacIntosh computer, I love my B+ better than anything in the whole world. Over the first 22,000 I averaged 12.6 MPG driving under all conditions-80MPH through Wisconsin and Minnesota and crossing the Rockies at Sheridan. Two weeks in the Smokey Mountains, two weeks in Florida, Branson Missouri,etc. The engine has used no oil at all. I change oil every 4,000 even though Chevy says 8,000. Rode a little rough at first with recommended 65psi front and rear but I now run 52 all around and check presure often. Have had to make a few adjustments and tighten some screws at times but that is normal with most any RV. I won't say that Trail-Lite makes the finest RV in the world but I believe that it is an exceptional value for the money. We use it as an RV, a truck, and a vehicle for transportation at times. Even load it up with junk to take to the local flea market. Kids borrow it to take grandchildren "camping". ENOUGH.
