Where are the Class B owners?

My best advice is not to get too locked into a 'schedule' and above all to enjoy yourselves.

I second Wendy's advice.  Much more enjoyable that way.

Hi, in August, we purchased a 2005 Pleasure-way Plateau and we love it.  Just completed a 2 week trip to Bar Harbor Maine and Cape Cod.  We have 2 dogs and want to travel the country.

Well, I'll join this thread, I guess... Just purchased a '99 Ford E-150 camper van with a pop-up roof. One owner, from Michigan. Will store it at a friend's in Idaho when I'm not over in the US cruising around in it (I live in Norway). I chose a class B mostly because of the size and nimbleness compared to larger vehicles - also, since I am just one person, I don't think I'll really mind the cramped quarters.

We have a 2008 PleasureWay Excel.  Although we've taken many camping trips, the long ones have been in our previous RV, a class C.  This summer we will drive from Miami to Anchorage, so we'll have plenty of time to check it out!

You should have a GREAT time.  We did a two month Alaska trip 3-4 years ago starting and ending in Michigan.  We really enjoyed ourselves in or 'B'

I purchased a 94 HORIZON a couple of years ago and have put about 20,0000 miles on the beast.  I wanted to try it out with a less expensive option before buying a RoadTrek, whiich is what I really wanted.  It has been a lot of fun.  Too close for more than a couple of weeks for wife, dog and I.  Mostly wife and I.  We try to stay in state parks because they are interesting, safe, clean, and not crowded even when full.  Based on my experience, I would not include a generator, hot water heater, or dedicated shower space, in a new purchase (all different than I thought when a new purchase was an option).  We plug in every night and depend on showers and electricity to be part of the hookup, and have not been disappointed.

Comfort in the evenings is the main problem.  Nothing close to a recliner and HD TV in a B.  And there is no way to really get comfortable.  If I could cure this, I would stay on the road permanently.

2009 Roadtrek SS Agile; bought late August.

Love it so far, mostly short trips at this point.  

Just got back from Assaetegue Island in MD, and DC area.   About 10 days, not all camping.  
Plan on Florida in January and further west in the Spring.

My husband and I just purchased a 2006 Roadtrek Adventurous (22' overall) w/ a Mercedes Diesel, so the fuel economy should be great. That appealed to us, as well as the fact I wanted a vehicle that didn't feel overwhelmingly large to me when driving on country roads...I'm a "midget" at 5'2" and don't like the feeling of driving really large vehicles, even SUVs like the Navigator or Escalade or... So, we went with something small and very manageable.  But, hey, we owned a 27' Bristol sailboat for many years that was built to be a daysailer, yet we comfortably lived on it every weekend for many summers. It was really tiny, much smaller than the Roadtrek! Yet we loved it...I could cook a 4-course dinner on the tiny, single-burner alcohol stove that had to be pulled out on little rails from beneath the companionway. We figured if we could survive together in the boat, living in a Roadtrek would be a cinch. We'll let you know after we've done a few trips starting in March....for now, I'm just incredibly excited!     Susan in Denver
