Hello All
My new ceramic-on-cross-linked polyethylene left hip is essentially โdoneโ and doing wonderfully after 4 weeks, and the right hip is scheduled for a similar parts swap in three weeks โ hope to get in some extended (a week or so, anyway) B+ travels after early October.
The very essence of a 22-26 ft. B+ seems to me to evoke more a mode of unrestrained mobility than stay-in-place utility. It is like a car with all the home conveniences โ food, bathroom, bed, sanctuary for dogs, etc. It allows great flexibility whether pulling into a planned destination of a relativeโs driveway, a public campground, a festival/rally, or whether en route without a reservation and possibly looking for a motel, parking lot, or public land to stop for the nite.
While we have yet to have time to take a long run wherein we may find ourselves w/o a reservation for some nites, I really think that this would epitomize the ultimate flexible use of the small rig. On this score, however, I confess anxiety โ carried over from years of auto travel โ when we have no reservation and it is getting late in an unknown place. And while the โhouseโ part of the B+ brings a degree of security that we have a 'place for the nite,' there is still a consideravle insecurity in boondocking in an unknown place that I am very uneasy about. Any experienced thoughts on this?
In a similar mode of thought, we would like to think up more versatile uses for the B+ than simply going to campgrounds. We have used it to attend an RV rally, at the Disney CG where we could leave the dogs and explore Disneyworld, at a local restaurant where the dogs stayed cool using the generator/AC, and an occasional shop-and-drop where I stay w/ the dogs and Martha goes in to shop.
Any other ideas? Any relevant forum threads that you guys have seen on this subject?
As I mentionrd before, the Class B rigs were more in line w/ what I thought we would enjoy using the most, but we felt there was simply not enough room.
