2004 dynamax corp carri-go 210

Wondering if anyone can give me input on this Class B.
Are they well made, Ford engine and how are those, gas mileage, etc.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
  • AFAIR, ron.dittmer alluded to there being a connection between the carri-go and the phoenix cruiser B+ model lineup. the 2310 is identical.

    We have an 2004 R-Vision Model 213 which is labeled on the side as a "B+". You might check out the long running B+ topic Which started in early 2002 and still sees some action. FYI the Carri-go started as a product of the Carriage RV company which was know as a quality rv company before it's demise. Dynamax bought several of the left over "moulds & patterns" of some manufacturers who abandoned a segment of the RV business or went out of business. Coachmen's Starflyte all fiberglass B+, became the Dynamax Starflyte, the Firan Europa Touring Sedan was the basis for the Isata Touring Sedan.

    Here is some info supplied by Carriage on the Carri-go from Motorhome Magazine in 2000.

    We looked at all of these when looking for our Alaska "Rig" and found the best value for the money in our "213 B+", which had just over 8,000 miles in 2012 when we purchased it.

    The one in Williamsburg? Good rig for minimalists. All the features in a very compact unit at the expense of storage and moving-around space. That's obvious and you've no doubt considered that. But... I noticed the bath is probably a "wet bath" where you get the whole bathroom wet taking a shower. Be sure that's OK with you. If you camp where you have to use your holding tanks (no sewer hookup) and you're like us, you'll use the campground's showers most of the time. Then it wouldn't matter. If you want lots of showers in your own coach, then understand you'd have to put pretty much everything away.

    Clearly a Class C. Some wordsmith came up with "B+" to describe a Class C without the cabover. Just a fairing from van roof to front of Class C "house."

    Dynamax is known as a quality builder. The Carri-Go 210 I looked up showed the very good feature of a full 5-sided rear end cap. Picture a shoe box lid, top and 4 sides for a total of 5. Seals the rear and gets stresses away from corners. The front capping seemed similar. If it has a fiberglass roof so much the better.

    If it's a Ford V-10 in that small a coach, likely around 10-mpg, maybe a tad more. 1 or 2 higher if it's a V-8.

    "2004 coach" might be on a 2003 or 2004 chassis. Later model is better, but condition trumps features, at least in my book.
  • Thanks Mike.
    I found this rv on rvtrader and it lists it as a class b.
    Appreciate your help.
  • the carri go is not a class B, it's a smaller class C.

    try the class C forum for other owners
