Re: B+ motorhomes
Thought other Trail-Lite owners would like to know: We just returned from a long trip to the Canadian Maritime provinces. We had about 10 couples ask us about our MH, how we liked it, etc. Some were people moving up and some were people with a huge MH, wanting to downsize. We even had one person offer to buy it. Some people were Canadian, but many were from the states. People with other Trail-Lites liked our layout and full bathroom with the little tub. Anyway, we felt very good about the resale possibilities. We drove 5000 miles, had a great trip, and the Trail-Lite performed like a dream. We really do love this vehicle.

We just returned from our first long trip in our Trail lite. We had only used it 4 nights before this trip. We are newbies and chose the Trail Lite 225 for this reason. Good choice. We drove 4500 miles though N.D.; Montana including Glacier NP; Banff, Jasper and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and the Canadian prairie provences to get home. We had a great time and no major problems. We were on mountain roads and VERY bumpy roads in Canada. The only problem we had was after 8 days out the water heater leaked. My husband duct taped it and we will have it looked at by the dealer now that we are home. Other than that, our Trail Lite was top notch. We really appreciated our Ford V10 in the mountains. It ran like a dream. One thing we discovered is that we would like a storage box on the back bumper for the outside things like the lawn chairs, hose, etc. That would free up more space. Also, I took a queen size foam mattress pad-about 2" thick. That took up an enormous amount of space. Do you all use them? It really made the bed comfy, but I am wondering if a thick mattress pad would be as good. Judy, 2003 Trail Lite 225, Ford V10.441Views0likes0CommentsRe: B+ motorhomes
We took our first trip in the 225 Trail Lite B+. We were gone for four days and drove 20 hours total. We have about 1100 miles on it. It had 600 from the dealer due to the drive to Iowa and a couple of sporting shows. The best news is NO PROBLEMS!! WE LOVE IT. We got 11 mpg and no drawers or hangers came loose. We bought a foam mattress cover and the sleeping was very comfortable. I have one simple question. Our walls are a rough paneling. I tried a suction soap holder in the shower and it promptly fell off the wall paneling and off the wood. Has anyone used anything else for a few extra hooks, etc? We weren't sure we should screw anything into the paneling. Judy 2003 Trail Lite 225, Ford V10720Views0likes0CommentsRe: B+ motorhomes
HI. This is my first post. I read the entire posting today. My husband and I have looked about 5 years for the perfect small motorhome and just purchased a 2003 Trail-Lite B+ 225 with a Ford V-10 Chassis. We have never even slept one night in a motorhome but are not totally ignorant, as we have some close friends who have full-timed it 2x and have given us good advice. We also bought from a very reputable dealer who has been in business 35+ years (actually 70+ years selling Fords). We were assured we could take this on w/o too much difficulty. We decided to buy new so we wouldn't have problems. Now, I'm wondering if we did the right thing. We go April 11th to pick up our RV and we have a half day training session at the dealer's. We go through the RV with an inventory check list. Does anyone have any advice to offer us before we drive it away (specific questions for the dealer, certain things to make sure and check)? Thanks.
