Serious lack of Bs in our area

Thanks - we think it's a cutie... And we went to Ohio to see if we could find more Bs.

We camped at Geneva State Park and there was another B!! We were so excited to talk to them - they were from Canada (where Bs are like the national camper ;)). They had a newer Roadtrek 190 and were on a tour around Lake Erie.

Also saw 3 other Bs on I-90 mixed in with the thousands of other RVs.

More contractor/workmen were over and drooling over our B. We just open the rear doors to give a visual tour - they all want one.

B's are fairly common in Texas, and I see them because Texans come to NE Oklahoma to camp at the reservoirs on the Arkansas River system.

Looking in your profile, that is a really nice B. Enjoy!!

start charging for tours ,help pay for the garage.

Good idea - one contractor said he'd build the garage as a trade for the B. No way!

I guess it depends on where you are. I see lots more B's on the road than I did when I first bought one in 2004. I see them regularly in Minnesota and in Arizona... and driving in between.

Many of the Sprinter conversions are stealthy and you have to look closely to see the AC unit on the top.

Yeah - we saw more on the road home from buying it in Florida - mostly Sprinters.

I almost never see a B in this area. I have looked for units for sale, just for grins, and they're rare and expensive. I think a B would be my ideal travel RV. Lots better than the VW van I used lo these many years ago (not a camper, just a van).

There is one guy in our area that we see a lot - he uses his Sprinter as an everyday driver. It's a LTV Sprinter.

It may be that Bs are more likely to boondock, so you see them less in populated areas. Also as Muslim points out, they are less likely to be properly identified.

If course, it could also have to do with simple numbers - there are more manufacturers of trailers and options as to size and tastes, so you see them more.

Our insurance agent never even heard of them - they call it a modified van.

I saw a ton of B'a in Canada- like it was the National Camper- here C's may be more successful because of more usable square footage for your buck....??? Maybe??????

I am seeing more Class B's based on the Sprinter format on the roads here in Idaho.

We'll be taking it to Canada - can't wait to see more Bs!
