Topic: B+ motorhomes

I have Coach-Net and it appears their Platinum Plan ($10 more / year) covers multiple RVs. I've been pleased the two times I've needed their services. 2003 Trail-Lite 211 B-Plus LE Chev. 6.0L Vortex It's more than a motorhome, It's a car I can go to the bathroom in. – Homer Simpson

GKJreutzer, I don't recall that that was an option at the time of my 2nd RV purchase, otherwise I think they would have offered it to me with the fit I was having over the phone with while on my trip. I told them to make sure the RV that I was driving was covered for my trip and when I returned home I was going to cancel my policy. The only option they offered was to give them 24 hours notice on which RV I was going to use and they could switch it back and forth as required , that's almost as bad as AAA telling me that it would not be a problem to get reinbursed if I needed to get towed in a State that they didn't have coverage in, hell getting reinbursed was not the issue ,having to look for a tow service on my own was the problem. A few years ago in Canada I had been on a dirt road for about 50 miles ( lost ) I hit a town and the people didn't even speak English ,I had to get gas from someone's 55 gallon drum in their back yard , can you imagime having to look for a tow service! 2003 6.0 Chev Trail-lite B-Plus 225 2007 6.0 Chev 170 Roadtrek ( Daily Driver ) 1976 Corvette

Almost blew up HappyJack 2 this weekend !!!!!!! We were at our new seasonal site near Colonial Beach VA for the Independence Day weekend and I must have bumped and accidently turned on one of the stove top burners while moving stuff inside the rig. We were watching the campground fireworks show on Saturday nite from a nearby dock and someone said the had heard an "alarm clock" beeper for a while then realized it was an alarm from inside our camper when they smelled propane. It was closed up with the A/C on at the time. I ran into the camper( dumb move ) and turned of the burner. I shut off the valve at the tank then killed the power at the switch on the pedestal. With the front doors and rear door open it took thirty minutes for the alarm to stop beeping. With the fan on high and all the windows open after the alarm stopped, it was an hour before the smell had cleared enough to sleep. The rig had almost a full tank of gasoline and was parked in a park with 400 nearby rigs. I figure if it had went up we would have been the lead story on the evening news on saturday nite.

I like stories with good endings. Thank goodness you had a good ending. Scarry isn't it? You must have had the lid up on the stove as our lid covers the burner knobs. We have not even tried using our stove burners. Is there an automatic lighter? Apparently not!! 2002 Trail-Lite Model 211-S w/5.7 Chevy (click View Profile) Gene

OMG that is scary. Glad you got to it in time. 2005 Trail Lite 213 B-Plus w/ 6.0 Chevy

Gene, Our burner controls face out like a regular stove and are not covered by the stove top. They have a detent to set to light and a sparker like a outdoor grill has to ignite. My two gransons and a neighbor boy also were in the camper at one time and one of us must have moved the control to the light detent. The boys know not to touch things so I assume it was an accident as the narrow space between the sink and stove we could have brushed up against it. Burl, Yes, it was a close call. My neighbors there said a camper blew up last year at the camp when the owner opened it up for the season.

Born Free had a Bed and Breakfast B+ that reminded me of a Rialta floorplan wise (Rialta was much easier on the eyes). It was all electric and had a casette toilet. Its only double bed was too restrictive.

there are 3 types of motorhome class's Class " A " is the larger style motorhomes built on larger truck chassis's. Class " C " is the type that is built on a medium duty truck or van chassis and the front looks like it is cut off of a van or truck and has a sleeper type cab over the van section. Class " B " is the smaller motorhome conversion vans with NO Sleeper type cab over the van section, Some of the newer Volkswagon motorhomes are classified as class B as an example. arizona mobile home community

What is a realistic MPG figure for a Chinook/Born Free sized RV (21-24 ft) with the Ford V-10 engine, and driving at 65 mph or less? And what value would a Banks exhaust system bring to this sized unit? Erroll, Mary 2021 Coachmen Freedom Express 20SE 2014 F150 Supercab 4x4 w/ 8' box, Ecoboost & HD Pkg Equal-i-zer Hitch
