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...

It appears to have a couple things lacking - awning and generator, neither of which are deal stoppers. With the rear exit (which we like) the awning is not as conducive as an expanded living area. We have found that almost all campgrounds have electrical power even in the middle of winter, so unless you "boondock"; likely will not miss the generator.

Then try to spend your first night within a very short drive to the dealership. Easier to return the next day and ask how to.....? Check the tire pressure for a smoother ride.
I just bought a Trail-Lite B+ (on ebay of all places) and I'm going to pick it up on saturday. Any advice on trail-lite specific issues to look for?
Its an 06 w/64,000 miles because its a former rental. Seems like its in good shape from the pictures except for the photo that shows the somewhat deep scratch on the side.
I've had lots of Class A's but this is my first b+.
Like others I had been considering a roadtrek but the price point on this RV was too tempting. If the small size gets to me after a while I won't lose so much $$ reselling it.
Here is a link to the listing/photos. Any advice appreciated:
