Please write a brief post of any interesting commentary you have gotten on your B, including where or when or by whom, or whatever makes it good reading. Here's mine:
Near Edmonds, NC last month, a young man walked by our parked PW Sprinter and said, "That shore is a nifty rig you got there!"

Acquired our first RV, May, 2007:
New 2006 Pleasure Way, white with sand trim outside, maple and sand inside.
We were at Meat Cove at the top of the Cabot Trail when a gentleman from the Toronto Star drove up in a new Road Trek and interviewed us about our Dodge Road Trek. Three weeks later we were pictured in the Toronto star Wheels section.

Just yesterday, we pulled in to look at a new car in a dealership in ours. The salesmen were allllllll over it. I've never seen another B in our town (weird, huh!?) Our 210 is quite the site I guess.
I love our Pop 210 more than ever after the other day. My wife went shopping while I caught up on my sleep in the parking lot. I awoke refreshed, and she was happy. Gentlemen, it's the only way to get through the holiday shopping season... go in your RV! I brought this up because while I was laying there half asleep, twice I heard people up close talking about our Roadtrek (I had the back windows open) Ahhhh, stealth campin', or snoozin' as the case may be. Nothin' like stretchin' out for a nap in your shorts while the world goes on around you!
With both of my Roadtreks, the most common comment was some variation of "I had NO idea you had all this in here!" When I'd open up the toilet & shower closet, and mention the furnace, water heater, and generator, they tended toward speechless amazement.
The Tiger gets many more unsolicited 'It's just the right size' and 'Neat rig!' comments from passers-by, but they clearly realize that it's an RV. I'm mostly asked about price, where I got it, and if it has a bathroom. I give out a lot of Dave Rowe's business cards...
These comments span about four or five years of Saturday 'curb camping' downtown in the same few blocks. They're a testimony to the uniqueness of the Tiger Cx, but moreso the stealth & invisibility of the Roadtrek 190.
Jim, "I want to die smiling in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers."
'06 Tiger CX 'C Minus' on a Silverado 2500HD 4x4, 8.1 & Allison ('Loafer's Glory'); '07 Forester 2.5 ( the 'HANDBSKT'); '95 Toyota SR5 V-6 4x4 pickup, ARB locker, Bilsteins, Warn hubs & M8000, etc;
'94 968, M030 swaybars ('DOPPLER')
Strange but true - more than a couple of people, obviously not familiar with RVs, and certainly not familiar with the space constraints of Bs, have marveled that there is a built-in dishwasher. They are usually more astounded when I open it up and they realize it's a refrigerator.

This alone is worth the cost of a B!
I noticed this great feature soon after getting our LTV. Unfortunately, we keep it at our mountain cabin and most of the shopping is done in Raleigh.
We have also gotten all the Ooohs and Aaahs from lookers about what is in our B but usually get a Oh! reaction when they get around to asking the price.
Yes, Bs cost more per cubic inch but they are worth it.
My 1980 retro-B gets lots of comments. They don't make these types anymore. The ones that are left have the ugly beige on brown exterior. Mine, due to the previous owner's foresight, is more modern looking.
Goofy thing about it is the engine sound. It has dual exhaust/glass packs. My mechanic refers to it as a "chick magnet."
Many comments about how nice and roomy it is for a B and amazing how they can fit so much inside. But I think the funniest was from two young couples next to us while getting gas. No actual comment to us, but sure a lot of giggles when they read "Pleasure-way" on the van!
