I'm very happy with my SkeeterBeaters for my Pleasure-Way / Ford E-350 van. I use the front van door screens all the time, part of setting up camp. I've had them for over a year-and-a-half and they still work perfectly, look and attach like brand new. No problems with them staying on during wind...

Suggestion for house battery monitor I have an 08 PW Excel and had big issues with my house battery. (ultimately found the charge controller was not connected!) but it resulted in my wanting to know the exact voltage readout on my house battery without having to put a meter on it as I dry camp...

Hi George, I really appreciate the additional info about what a diesel can provide as far as appliances - I was truly not aware of any of that! And it provides some more support for the choice to not to rule out the diesels. My learning continues! Also thank you for the link to your van...

Hi Everyone, Thank you all BBQ:), Bud, Avanti, Boxster1971, Phoebe3 and GeorgeRa for making sure that I don't fully discount diesels! As was mentioned I agree that sometimes the floor plan will "trump" the motor. That is what I am still open to and as I mentioned in my original post the older...

Hi Chayelle! Thank you - you have given me so much food for thought and I LOVE that you have shared your opinions from 4 years of obviously in-depth research. As for me, I have only invested about 1 year of research so far on Class Bs (10+ years on RVs in general) but everything you've said...

Hi all - I'm so happy to see all the input, suggestions and thoughts. WanderingWes - I appreciate the details on what you did and the costs associated to address the handling problems if they exist. I will certainly keep that in mind. MsNomer - I probably will head over to the other site...

Bruceper - I appreciate you pointing out we are only talking about 8 inches. Some I look at I don't really notice the extra width, but others look pregnant to me! I'm assuming that might be due to the color. Regardless though it doesn't seem to make much difference in being able to park it where...

Wow - you all are great. Just finished my Christmas dinner and came back to great information, advice, comments and suggestions. I can't thank you enough! Sebtown - thank you for the info about the simplicity of those particular diesels. I'm still trying to get over the taller, boxier look of...

jrobe - I appreciate the info on your experience regarding diesels, you make a good point - I may have written them off too soon so I will consider them as well. Thank you for the personal experience perspective! Phoebe3 - great listings!! I've been having trouble finding anything in...

Hi Mumkin, thank you so much for responding. I had read so much about the build quality of the Sunlights at Camping World, but maybe I'll take the time to see one in person just to double check to determine if that is an option. Second time in this thread I've been warned about the handling...

Thank you, I do love those Travato floor plans - but even used they are $60K+ and the very top of my budget is $50K!!

Hi everyone! I am actively looking to purchase my first class B for solo travel and have some concerns/questions for which I could really use your experience and input. My plans are to travel 1-3 months at a stretch and I hope to boondock at least 50% of the time. I do plan on adding solar...
