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...

Chas,Gary and Jim ( In OHIO ) DigitalMeter.com is where I purchased my Meter,on the Web site are the Tecnical Specifications for the install,very easy to follow directions. Not sure how much I paid for mine, but I 1st purchased the " LCD " model and could not read the numbers during the day time ,so I purchased the " LED " a few months later and works great and I can see it even when it's sunny out.It's the one that I show in my picture. Buy the 4 digit model not the 3 digit one.
Another great item I installed on the Trail-lite was a front mounted ( 5,000 lb ) electric scissor jack. My Trail-lite always rides high in the back , I would assume they all do which allows for extra weight when loaded. I would always look for a place to park that was on an up-hill slop to be level. You can see in one of the pictures I just sent where I have my jack down preparing for a trip ( running the fridge ) I can actually lift the whole front end of my RV off of the ground with 6 inched of air under both the front tires and with no strain on the jack at all. If any body wants to look up my past postings I think I pretty much have everything in pictures of everything I have done to my rig . All of the other items are nice to do things, but the Volt meter and the electric jack are two that I used most and would highly recommend , but unfortunatley both of these upgrades come at a cost.
Chas and Gene, a few years ago I removed all of my goopy sealant on my roof seams and used eternabond tape on all of them and I now have a worry free seal for life on all of my seams, I can't say enough about this stuff. My roof material is not rubber , it seems to be a thick textured vinal membrane with a felt backing. I was just looking at the roof the other day and it does not seem to show any indication of weather wear and it has never been under cover. This material does not cause the black streaking that some people are always complaining about.
Chas,my front overhang is also dull , I won't even go into the story about how I almost broke my neck trying to polish it with an electrical buffer , but I stopped after realizing the it could cause a real hardship in my retirement getting crippled at this age, so its dull for life or unless I can talk someone else to do it.( I was actually sitting on the edge of my garage roof and trying to get my wife to drive it close enough for me to buff it out ) LOL she finally coached me down!!!
