Tired of working on the B+
On the one hand, I enjoy tinkering with an RV. Our 2005 Trail Lite B+ is our 3rd RV in about 4 years. And I've done a lot of tinkering with each of them. But a lot of it is fixing or improving cheap or shoddy or negligent or just plain stupid stuff produced in the RV version of China, aka the greater Elkhart, Indiana area.
Today was the last straw. The fire extinguisher was falling off the wall. They just screwed the bracket to the hollow luan interior wall, and the luan is all of 1/8th inch. It's the thinnest luan I've seen. Gee, boss, think we should put some wood behind that? Nah, it'll hold. Right.
I've learned a lot, and it's satisfying. But there does not seem to be an end to it. Our next RV needs to be a better built one. I hope such a thing exists in the small MH world. :)
I guess it's time to put down the tools and go camping.
