I’ve had 5 previous RV’s of all types including a Monaco DP. This one is the most quiet RV I’ve ever driven. The original owner had steering dampeners and heavier shocks installed which took all the wind resistance and effort out of driving. More storage space would be nice, but we’re exceedingly happy with this rig.

Have had this RV for a number of years now and no issues. No leaks, nothing broken, high quality craftsmanship. Compared to friends whose RVs have had nothing but problems I am very pleased! The size is perfect for us, great for boondocking or hooking up at a park. No regrets....

Had to replace Center control bearing and rebalance drive line. Vibration wore rear seal in transmission. ($1500)
Love Chevy 3500 chassis. Easy breezy to drive for my spouse to drive. V8 6 Liter Vortex has plenty of smooth power to pull hills.
I have a thumping noise over passenger seat head liner when hitting bumps in road. I isolated the wiring harness in cowling, still thumps!
Wonder about cowling hitting top of cab?
Any suggestions appreciated.

We bought this unit, 3rd owner, about eight months ago with 56K miles and appeared to be in excellent condition. I had all four brakes done, pads, calipers, turned rotors and fluid flush. We took it on a 1000 mile trip towing a Saturn VUE. Hard to check mileage because after 3/4 tank or so you have to baby feed the gas. Performed well, but was not stable feeling. On returning home (after replacing driver window regulator) I had air lift suspension added to rear. 100% improvement, now can control with one finger with bags at 70#. Now front section appears to be separating from body and I don’t know a repair at this point. The concept of this unit is ideal for one or two people. It is dry camp capable for many days with large heated tanks.

This is a very nice unit. Bought new now has 29K miles. Wife and I and three silky Terriers spend at least 6 weeks in it each winter. Have owned C's, A's and now this B+ since 1978. Drives nice, 9 to 10+ MPG.
Will be looking at similar or same units in another few years....

Traveled from New Jersey to the Grand Canyon and back. Handled like a dream. Sleeps four adults, pull out bed and the table drops down to a bed. Gas 6 liter engine averaged 10 to 12 mpg.
Lay out is nice kitchen cabinets are of excellent quality. Shower and toilet location is in the back. If cooking it can get tight with someone using the bathroom. Overall extremely satisfied with my purchase.
