The tioga @ less than 30,000 miles does indeed have minor
leak problems in the front of the upper bunk bed area.
The salesman after a little prodding of the subject said it was
not a big deal-they all do it and it is just a yearly maint.
issue. I do like the xtra indoor storage aforded by the bed space.

I would disagree, Any leak problem is not a minor issue, in my book.
If it has been leaking for years, you could well have extensive dry rot issues.

And no they don't all do it. I would pass on that one, I think.

It would not be a yearly maintance issue so much as a no maintance issue on the roof.

We took our 2004 R-Vision B+ 213 to Alaska last year, loved it during the trip all performed well. The one advantage the B+ has over many others that we passed up in our search for a smaller "vacation rig", was the one piece fiberglass cab overhang. We have had 2 Class C's in the past, taking care of the sealants on the front windows and metal covered corners was a pain to prevent water intrusion. Those windows and corners are two of the main reason's for the cab-over to rot out.

I think the trail-lite is actualy a class c motorhome,
it looks like the tioga just a couple ft longer
i have read tral-lite just played around a little bit with
the b+ vs c class description.
