Class B RV's highly popular

[RSKDSK]

I recently (4 months ago) purchase a Thor Tellaro which is a B class as well. We purchase it new and absolutely wanted a B class for a couple main reasons:

1) we would not have to tow a toad
2) we could be discreet about boondocking
3) Our city will not allow anything bigger than a van in our driveway (no need for storage)
4) Easier to drive and able to drive as fast as traffic (up to 80-85mph)
5) Gas milage (6 cylinder)
6) A van starts with complete metal shell ... this means dodge has create to outer skin and put in all the windows (no leaks) ... and very stable platform.
7) easy to maneuver in high spaces, in cities, parking lots, etc ...

Of course there are some down sides as well. I have created a video of my interior likes and will be create another video of my dislikes really soon:

FYI > There are actually 2 - Bs that have dry baths.
But they are not exactly short, in fact they can be longer than some Cs
I figured a shorter but a full 96" wide was my preference... "B plus"

The longer the wheelbase the more awkward the maneuvering it around, the greater the overhang the more the tail wags the dog.
Imbalanced loads, high roofs, single rear wheels and narrower widths combined with long overhangs is asking for instability.
Don't believe me? Look at all the advisories on 15 passenger extended vans with single rear wheels. (they did not use center aisles!, too narrow)
The solution was more air bags and electronic nannies. That didn't really fix the basic problem.
Using smaller / lighter engines and then with heavier rear compartment loads you may be pushing "center" weight to behind the rear axle.
Just keep that in mind when looking for your ultimate B.
One good emergency maneuver at highway speed and you may become very happy you have a steel roof.
You might just reconsider the 4 wheels vs 6 decision.
Keep the shiny side up people! Your kin will thank you.
This ends the public service announcement.
