For all the people who write "Never see used B vans where I live," you may be surprised some day if you put the word out you're looking and keep your ear to the ground. We live in a very small town three hours away from any major city (Raleigh.)
After considering idea of a B for two years, we happened to comment on Bs to an RV service center guy near our house. He mentioned the brand name etc of one locally he'd heard was soon going to be for sale. We looked it up online and - lo & behold, found an ebay listing about to expire (all bids were below his minimum reserve) for that van in the next town over. Showed the owner's number, we called, drove it, snapped it up. The guy is well-established in the community, price was very fair, and we handled the whole purchase/transfer at the bank.
Best purchase we ever made.
