We are in the market for a class B or C and just started thinking of the BF. We came across a 2003 21' BF Bed and Breakfast model, online, and had never seen that model before, not that I've seen too many of the built for two models.either. If anyone has one, could you please give me your opinion on the quality, mpg etc.?
Thank you in advance.

BFT
We're 6-month owners of a 2006 BFT and love it. Have put 11,000+ enjoyable miles on it already, which speak for themselves.
We've only two reservations. One is the table. The supplied tripod-mounted table is pretty unstable. We use , instead, a fold-up table bought at Camping World.
The second reservation is/was the Ford's steering "slop," which we're told is common to its Ford E-350 chassis. But we've totally solved that by heeding LL Forum advice, installing "anti-sway" devices (at Camping World--see other forum post). Tech names for those items are "Swaybar Ford E350 R" and "Safe-T-Plus P30 Chevy." Now (ugggh) , after spending about $1,000 for that, the coach is nearly as stable and as comfortable to drive as our Volvo sedan. Seems to us that BF should already have included those mods, since they have such high rep for quality. Or, more appropriately, Ford should be embarrassed to put such sloppy chassis on the market!

Bettylou,
We have a 1999 22' built for two with 100,000 trouble free miles on it. It is our second BF but won't be our last. We will go back to a 24' rear bath next time which I think is the perfect coach.
On the bed & Breakfast, that model is a special purpose coach and while it reflects the same BF quality as the bigger coaches I think you would be happier with a larger unit which among other things has a lot more holding and water tank capacity. George B
