Some neat B+ Europe style

Reminds me of Gene's old B+!

I know we would have looked long and hard at these IF they are not overpriced like so many US upscale B+s.

One of Class A forum posts said they are well made fit n finish wise, and maybe have 5 spd manual shift trannys.

The red one looks like the old LeSharo (Rialta).

Just hope the chassis is better than the LeSharo. Americans have little love for Renault.

I just checked all my old Lexington 210 literature, no bed sizes in them.

You might try sending a Private Message (PM) to "katierney" and ask. I recall that they own one. See this posting - Cape Hatteras and Kitty Hawk, NC . Here is the link I was looking for Any other Forest River Lexington owners out there?

I had the 10th Winnebago Centauri made by Winnebago. It was not supercharged and that little 4 cylinder diesel would not put out heat until we got to 30mph. It did get 24 mpg and we cruised at 60mph and could get to 75 off a mountain. That front wheel drive in the 4 speed was fantastic in snow. It walked through things that four wheel drive struggled with and of course in 1982-83 four wheel drive was not common. We could stand up in the back and the van config was great with fold out couch in back and chairs that folded down into two beds. We were styling. Well when the LaSharo came along it was something. A bathroom and cooking area and supercharged. All that extra weight on that little 4 cylinder diesel. Just too heavy for small engine. In Europe yes but not here where we travel faster and go further in general.

My Forest River Lexington 255 has a back bedroom bed that is double bed sized (not queen) so it is 60" long and 52" wide. The fold-down couch, with the armrests removed is the same size but with a crack down the middle. These beds are not designed for real tall people. I am 6'0" and my wife is 5'4" so it works for us but it's not generous for tall people. FYI we have added an extra 3" of foam padding to make the bed comfortable enough to sleep on. The matress is not great in these units.

Dear True Larry,

I bet you are feeling quite stretched out in your bed, especially if you are indeed 6'0" 72 inches tall, and your bed is only 60" long...

But I appreciate what you really meant. I am the same size, and our back bed in a similiar sized rig is about 76 inches long, but it is 60 wide. I miss the extra size of our king size bed at home.
