Hi Folks..... 1st time on this new forum. I don't understand how to post a new message, so I jumped into this subject.
Cricket and I are traveling (working) on the road and are in Atlanta, GA at this time. We will leave 4/6 and travel to Greenville, SC for the next part of stand year.
How do I change the size of the font? It is extremely hard for me to read this (negative font size number)
Your topic is Class B....or what defines a Class B. In the past it was fairly easy...if it was built on a van chassis, it was a Class B. Then the first real change was when they took a standard chassis and put a structure on it....allowing the passthrough from the structure to the driver/passenger area. That was considered to be a Class C. We owned a Leisure Travel Class B and the nit pickers started the arguement on a side issue... Would that Class B be welcomed (or eligible) to belong to FMCA? It got informal tricky when the word was (informally) passed that as long as you could stand up straight (including not bending while getting out of the driver/passenger seat and making our way back to the back....it was eligible for FMCA memebership.
However, that was an "Informal" qualification and gioing strictly by the FMCA book, you only needed to have specific functions to qualify for FMCA membership. Fully self-contained...Bath, Kitchen, Eating and Sleeping sections.
Having said that, I just want to tell you folks that the other week we purchased another Leisure Travel Class B (as a way of introducing our vehicle and class....that contridicts what I just said<grin>
This Leisure Travel is definitely in the hybrid class. It's 22 feet long, a Mercedes diesel on an Sprint (Freightliner Chassis) We get 22mpg. The easiest way to identify it or notice it is to check out the UPS and FedEx small vans....this is the exactly same RV ...having the same engine and chassis. We live out of the Class A motorhome (2001 Winnebago Journey diesel with 2 slideouts) However we wanted a second vehicle to tool around on Cricket's work break. Since we have the motorhome set up for 6 weeks, it wasn't practical to change it for road travel every week. The Leisure Travel is (as all Class B's) a dual functiion (work/play) vehicle.
And with that I'll sign off and try and figure out how to work this forum.
