Welcome Markopolo. I also read the thread (all 150 pages) after we got our B+ in April. Lots of good ideas and tips. We're getting ready for our first long trip, camping at Lake Chautauqua in western NY the week of the 4th.
I've got ideas for mods also and am thinking of enlarging the battery door and adding #2. I hope to get some more ideas and advice when we go to the R-Vision factory in IN when we attend the R-Vision Camping Club ralley there in August.
During my Navy days I got to visit Vancouver BC after flying up to NAS Whidbey Island WA. Beautiful area.
