VERY nice Lance! I have been keeping an eye on RacingJunk for a nice toterhome. My only concern about a unit like you have is the long overhang behind the rear axle. Not sure how that overhang would handle an enclosed trailer in a side wind.

Thanks!! That long overhang concerned me as well, only for weight distribution issues. I have to say, this thing pulls my trailer down the road just like my truck does, maybe even better.

Power wise, it's has as good if not better pulling power than my truck and this coach alone weighs as much as my truck and trailer combined. While driving it home the other night, empty...I set the cruise at 65 mph and it pulled a long fairly steep hill that is always a good test point for such a thing...all the way to the top without even breaking a sweat or downshifting out of OD. It also pulled several more hills with cruise set at 70 mph without downshifting out of OD.

Driver comfort wise, you can't tell the difference between the two. I don't think I'll have any trouble driving this thing for an extended period...unlike that Class A we borrowed last summer. 6 hours behind the wheel of that thing wore me slam out.

Side wind wise...we'll just have to see...but from what I could tell by the few times a Semi passed me while on the highway, wind doesn't seem to affect this rig much at all. It has the Firestone Ride Right air bags in the rear and monster sway bars front and rear...both seem to really help it get down the road. Being so aerodynamic was one of the draws of going with a Class B+.

Very nice! How about some interior shots? I'm an RVer and love this stuff!

Congrats Lance. i'd love to see some interior shots as well. How'd you find it? And what makes it a B not a C?

I'll get some interior shots soon. Was kind of waiting to get it all outfitted and setup first. It's nice....Couch and U-shaped dinette are in the big slide and across from that is a HUGE counter across the curb side and kitchen. The back slide is the queen size bed. The cab seats swivel around to face the cabin as well. It's Forest River's highest level trim with real nice upholstery and removable carpet with manufactured tile floor under.

These pictures are from an identical coach we looked at in Texas.

A B+ is basically a C but instead of a bed above the cab, it doesn't hang over the windshield and just slopes back. The wife did not like the closed in cave like feeling the big overhang gives out the windshield and we didn't need the extra sleeping space. The real plus is it's WAY more aerodynamic and lighter.

Very Nice Lance! My parents always had Class A's (can't believe my Sister didn't take the Keys away after she found out my Mom had Alzheimers). I've rented Class B/C's and like them better.

Very nice Lance, but when does it get S3's aka Sutton's Secret Sauce?
