NOW that is what I am wanting,, big enough for me and small enough to get into anywhere..
Good looking unit... you get to Texas, look me up,, I want a real honest opinion of them.

I wish I had a picture to post here but near Providence, RI, today, I witnessed a RT that looked like a 2000 - 2002 Dodge RT 190 towing a sailboat. The sailboat seemed longer than the RT itself so my guess it was about a 25 footer. This guy was moving a pretty good clip on I-95 in the opposite direction IIRC. That sailboat has to be a real heavy load.
I was in Annapolis, MD last week and saw a couple of B's there too. One was an older Falcon style of rig with cab over sleeping area and the other was a PW Dodge, probably around the 1998 year.

Well, I have seen B's around town this summer but all of them are ones that I've posted here on this thread. But, today, I got a little lucky. I found two that I haven't seen before.
I think this one is an Airstream Interstate and it is from California!
There were two people up front keeping cooling with the A/C going.
And... below is the Dodge RT - my guess is year 2000 or 2001-02? or so?
It looks like it's for sale. If anyone buys it from this thread, I hope I get a commission.

A crummy cell phone pic on a grey rainy day, but maybe the ultimate adventurewagen B.... a SMB done on a 4x4 diesel Chevy Express 3500.
But I'd love to know the axle weights, with the extension carrier on the rear and the winch / grill guard on the front. I guess if it's not too much of a conversion, it's maybe not overweight.
Texas tags, smallish 'Search and Rescue' decals (no agency stated that I saw) in the windows. Too much rain to really check it out. If not overweight, two thumbs way up!

No pix, but we saw about 15-20 "B's" as we toured through Glacier NP, Waterton and Jasper NPs. Saw 2 RT210P like ours in one day in Waterton. Not sure if it had something to do with the road restrictions for length in those parks (typically max 21' for Going to the Sun and hwy 49 in Glacier and the road to Mt. Edith Cavell in Jasper). The big units got left in the campgrounds.
By the way, we're back after just over 2 months and 22,000 km. Check us out at http://coopertravels.adwin.ca/

Spotted on Stone Harbor Boulevard in Cape May Court House NJ over the 4th of July weekend...
Yes...Tim (tfrazie) was driving...or, rather, Tim was chatting it up with someone who was collecting money for the local Rescue Squad at the traffic light.

We were at DisneyWorld, FL this past week and saw this RT Silver Anniversary Edition in the parking lot at HollyWood Studios. I saw a couple of other B's but could not grab a pic of them tho... We were on the bus when the other guys passed by going the opposite direction. One PW and a possible Sportsmobile with the A/C in the rear door area. I also walked around Fort Wilderness and found no B's there. The B's must be travlin' while everyone else is sitting tight.

About 7:30a.m. I was driving through the WalMart parking lot in our local town and discovered this RT there.
This is a Dodge evidently I have no idea what year this model is. My guess in the early 1990 era. Everyone in this rig was fast asleep. Notice the good use of the storage bin on the roof.
Here's a better photo not facing the sun. I didn't want to wake them up. "Never wake up "B'er's!"
