Testing out a few Class Bs
We're back in Florida for a little bit. We'll be doing some testing of a few Class Bs - yes, you read that right - Class Bs - for the next few weeks.
We're doing this in cooperation with Nick Schmidt, of Sunshine State RVs in Gainsville, FL. The project came about after we ran into Nick at last January's RV Supershow in Tampa. Nick is an old friend, going back for over a decade now. He runs one of the top Class B dealerships in the country and he remembers our roots, when we first started out.
Back then, and for the first several years of our RV lifestyle, we were strictly in Class Bs. We moved on from that to B+ vans, Class C motorhomes, and Fifth Wheels.
Nick suggested we take another look at Class Bs, so we're up on all the new production features and technology on today's B vans. We thought that sounded like a great idea. So we'll be checking out five or six of them over the next few weeks, doing short camping trips with them and seeing what's new.
We just got the first one we will be reviewing - a Coachmen Nova.
That's the unit we are testing this week above. If you can look closely, you'll see Bo checking it out just inside the open door.
We'll keep you up to date on this fun project as it develops.

SOCIAL MEDIA BUZZ - Wendy Bowyer
Wendy Bowyer reports on the hot issues most talked about this past week on social media and our RV Lifestyle Community group.
Over in our RVLifestyle Community's Troubleshooting space, we asked folks to share a unique hack they've used to keep their rig functioning.
Frederick recommended two things that he said made the RV much easier to manage: The LevelMatePRO to determine the most level spot on the campsite when they drive in and then to assure they are level. He also recommended Mopeka tank sensors to monitor propane usage. Great tips!
