I just trove back to New York from Florida. I couldn't help but notice
hat almost EVERY rest area was filled with trucks. It was difficult
getting a parking space to go use the facilities. Also, Wal-Marts
seems to be filled with tractor trailers at night.

If you are planing to come to the Lower Rio Grande Valley, come visit
us! We have full hookups on our driveway (50 amp electric) and a clear
view for all satellites, TV and Internet. We'll show y'all around.
We are on the southwest edge of Harlingen in the Rangerville area.

We will be traveling to Deadwood SD this July and was wondering if any
one had any suggestions for rv parks in that area.  We plan on being

As I had mentioned in a previous post, the moderators on bounder@yahoogroups.com
kept repeating an urban legend that all Bounders manufactured in the mid
nineties have a towing limit of 3,500 pounds.  They were challenged on this by

A dealer has some "Aged" inventory.  One unit is a '05 33V, with electric
awning, full body paint, etc.  Pretty well equipped on a 20.5K Ford Chassis
with 1300 lbs CCC.  I think the CCC is marginal.  The dealer says that the
