B+ motorhomes
I just bought a Trail Lite B+ 211s with 8.1 Chevy engine. This is my fifth motorhome (others range from an old 20' Vagabond, and three Winnegagos, from 19 to 32'. This vehicle is fantastic. I am...

Thanks for the welcome. We had several small things that may need fixing, or maybe we just need to learn more.
For sure, one of the ceiling speakers is not connected to the dash eadio as is the other thus yielding a set of rear speakers. No biggie, and I may rather hook the TV (and thus CD/DVD player) to these anyway.
There was a leak that dripped off the tailpipe when we tried to hook to city water. I thought the pressure was low when I turned the fawcet down, but maybe no, or maybe the washer on the female hose end of the RV did not set well. We can easily live with refilling the FW tank and use the electric pump for pressure. Since we like to use RV as a car to see things, it is just as well that we don't have to fool w/ a hose anyhow - just unplug and go.
One annoying bug was that our FW monitor is not reading - the BW, GW, gas and battery meters are functioning. Is it likely to be in the tank or on the wall-mounted meter that the problem exists?
We could not light the gas oven. Our dealer urged us to try again, and we may, but we use the microwave's convection feature instead anyway.
If all 'bugs' are no worse than these, I'd be a very happy camper, indeed.
Has anyone discussed ways to improve the comfort of the king bed formed by the jacknife sofa and dinette makedown? No air mattress combo will fit the space well. I intend to make 10-11" props to stiffen the cantilevered end of the sofa where it meets the dinette.
Any help or insights would be appreciated.
