I was also going to comment on the packing, squeaks, and rattles. Ours only has 24K miles, so maybe squeaks and rattles will increase. But for now, they are not bad at all. We have figured out our packing so that the contents are pretty quiet. We have no problem listening to the radio while on the road.
This is our 3rd trip with our 23' B+. While we would love another 2 feet and a slideout, we are coming around to like this unit and type of travel a lot. We had plans to set up a toad, but more and more we are thinking we will keep going toadless for now. We have gotten used to keeping the interior clutter under control so it's only 5 minutes or so of putting things away when we want to go somewhere. In the overall scheme of things, 5 minutes is nothing. On the outside, we do not hook up a water hose; we just use our tank. We don't hook up a sewer hose either. So to go somewhere, we just unhook electric and cable, which is quick and easy.
We have really gotten spoiled by being able to pull into just about anywhere to shop or eat. Today we went into an old downtown with cramped streets. No problem, we are about the size of an UPS truck. Parked in the municipal lot in the shade, opened windows, turned on the Fantastic Fan, and let the dog sit comfortably while I pretended to be interested in the krap the DW was looking at in the stores. :)
Also, so far in the trip, 5 campsites, we've only had to get out the leveler blocks once. And the 1 was probably okay for most people anyway. Not that the sites are all level, but with the short rig and easy manuevering, we can jockey it around to find a level spot, much of the time.
We cannot see ourselves going back to a TT. I'm not saying never, but it's not likely.
