i just found this forum and notice there has not been a post since '02. Surprise, the first posting was in 2002. Do you have your settings set to oldest first? ...We tow a PT cruiser, but only in the 'flat land' states. We unhooked when we reached PA as felt the drag would be a bit much. Do you have a 2002 with the 5.7 Chevy or a 2005 with the 6.0 Chevy? We pull a enclosed trailer with a full dress motorcycle inside without any problems with our 5.7 liter. Both of us enjoy driving so it gives us both an opportunity to get our driving fix in. One of the benefits of owning a short Class C (B+ type).;)

The temps have been on the chilly side and last nite dropped to 37*. We do not use the furnace. We have the ceramic heater that keeps the cabin very comfortable...and quieter also. Encountered a problem this week, tho. It was a very rainy 3 days and we sprung a leak in the bathroom. An inspection located the culprit being the seal around the skylight. Did you get your leak fixed? I thought we had a leak, but found it was only a missing seal for when the bathroom fan is pulled down or popped up...So far have not had a problem with the manual slide. Ours has worked flawlessly, but we don't use it as much as anticipated. We use the sofa and the dinette for the beds. So do we, see picture of a foam mattress a page or two back in this topic. I made blanket covers for each so that we don't have to remake the beds each nite---only throw on the covers and pillows.

Have done some upgrades with the electric. The single outlet under the table on the bench was definitely inconvenient. So a power strip was installed under the dinette window with the access being from the bench outlet. It works fine for the toaster, coffee pot, and whatever else we wish to use. Of course, always keeping in mind what would overload the system. I merely carry a 9' multi-outlet power strip and bring the end by the walkway.

We have a screened patio room which is a blessing as it is used as our livingroom/TV room and outdoor kitchen. We consider it a fine investment. We sometimes carry a "EZTwist" for the same reason. The satellite receiver outlet for the outdoor TV was installed on the side. It works well. Can watch satTV inside and out at the same time albeit the same channel.

Anyway, you can surmise that we are very satisfied with our 211S B+. So are we. Oh sure, we look at the bigger rigs pulling into the cgs and admire their beauty. But we had a 36' with all the bells and whistles and still prefer this very convenient model.
