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...

i just found this forum and notice there has not been a post since '02. However, just want to put my 2 cents in. We are currently camping at Andrews AFB outside DC. We have been travelling 5 weeks driving from FL Panhandle to NY and now making the return. 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. Both of us enjoy driving so it gives us both an opportunity to get our driving fix in.
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. 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. Today we are waiting for the sun to dry the top so we can reseal. So far have not had a problem with the manual slide. We use the sofa and the dinette for the beds. 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.
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. 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+. 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.
