I notice most class B's have small FW tanks and very little storage. For those that dry camp how do you carry extra water? Also are there any class B's made with a slide and some kind of basement storage?

A class B is essentially a modified van chassis.....so no under storage to speak of and certainly no slide. The next step would be a small class C which would be a manufactured coach body placed on a CUTAWAY van chassis.

That depends on the model/manufacturer. I had a Roadtrek 210 Popular which is a Class B and it had quite a bit of outside under storage. About 1/2 my camping was dry camping with it and I could go about a week between dumps and water fill ups; 3 days when I was camping with a friend. One just needs to adjust to the storage available. Coming from tent camping I found the storage quite adequate and I actually camped comfortably a couple of summers in it. My general rule is if I have something in the RV that hasn't been used in the last 3 camping trips, it's not necessary and it comes out of the RV.

I just looked at that model online, 36 gals of FW, 1400lbs CCC, 7000 lbs tow rating and 1000 lbs tongue weight. Those are good specs for a 21 ft B. Also someone mentioned to add a rack in the back receiver for extra storage with 1000 lbs tongue rating that is a lot of stuff. I did not see the outside under storage on the 2020 model. hard to tell from their pictures. 60 gals of FW last me and my wife 7 days so I can live with 36 plus a 4 gal container in that B.
