cheeze1 - I believe you are correct on the Libero, quite a price difference to our Trail-Lites. Here is a very old topic that I managed to stumble on captnaselli's post on TRAIL-LITE by R Visions B Plus Model 211 . This is actually the posting that got me looking at the Trail-Lite.

Gene, I remember going through all of those posts when we were looking for an RV. We tried to find a big enough Class B, but just could not see ourselves in anything smaller than the B+
What finally swayed us was a 22 ft BT Cruiser at a local dealer. It seemed to be a small motel room with just enough space, and no more.
I recalled all you Trail Lite folks' comments on the R-Vision rig, and called the dealer to order our 213 sight unseen. It has been all that we expected. It is great for short travels of a month or less, but too small for staying in a c.g. for a long time w/o a toad.

We just returned from four days at Gettysburg at a RVnet rally. I think we saw maybe three or four B+ of all makes but no Trail-Lites. We are really a minor subset of campers, but except for making up the bed every nite and fighting with that memory foam mattress stored under the sofa, I would not want another size. Up and back plus driving in town to the battlefield on two days took $70 in gas.

Gene, thanks for referring that thread to me. Brought back a lot of memories! It also confirms my satisfaction with my 213. The ONLY thing I wish I had now is a slide. In fact a full wall slide on both sides of my 213 would be great!
Wonder if anyone has tried fabricating a big slide on both sides of a B?

Cheese our 211S has one slide on the drivers side. You'd be surprised how much extra room that gives you. The slide is manual you have to crank it out. We still love our Trail Lite. Got rid of the big MH last summer. (note we replaced the big MH with the trailer which we leave in Florida in storage)

There were three (3) people that have posted who own the Model 252DS. ajej2 and F250GulfportFlorida <-view his profile and lenc who posted in October of 2006, but I have not heard from since.

We have never had a problem with the slide going in or going out and it is very easy to crank. We, however, have not used the slide as much as we thought we would. Hopefully, it helps resale value.
Good to hear from both of you.

A good interior shot of the double slide trail lite is here...

The self tapping sheet metal screw holding the the lug ends had broken off where it was drilled into the frame. Just aft of the leaf spring mount above the tail pipe. If it was loose last year that may have been causing my intermittent problem with trying to start the generator from inside. Finally found your posting after I looked at my unit. I have the same type of connections on the frame behind the rear axle on the drivers side...and I would bet the connections are for the converter.
Just a reminder - "Planning for the 2008 RVCC Wisconsin Rally is underway. The rally will be held at Village Inn Suites and Campgrounds in Two Rivers, Wisconsin August 1-5. The campground is located along the Lake Michigan shoreline, midway between Manitowoc and Two Rivers. Come tour the Maritime Museum with its WWII submarine, swim in Lake Michigan and enjoy the lake front bike path. Contact Village Inn to make your reservations today; space is limited.
