My husband is retiring in a little over a year and we plan to do some
traveling on the Eastern Seaboard.  We've been looking at the small travel
trailers such as the Casita's.  Does anyone have any experience with these
17' and less TTs?  Any suggestions or information you'd care ...

Huge amounts of bafflegab have been written about the Hensley Arrow

In the Wednesday edition of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, an article discusses
the increase in RV-related accidents.  They don't source their data well
enough to be able to tell whether it is any good, but it does put RVers on
the public's agenda.

The commode in my shop had a small leak where the supply line connects to

We'll be leaving San Diego in a few days heading toward Arizona.  We're thinking

side the highway. We were having 30 MPH winds with gusts over 40 and
this person was traveling what I beleive was a new Dakota CC with a

I just looked at the Hensley site and they show the trailer side wider than
the truck side, which wouldn't work the way I figured.
Oh well.......................

My shower door is glass witha  metal frame.  Over time it has begun to sag
down on the unhinged side.  I wonder if anyone here has a solution.

Is there a web site that shows weather-related road conditions along an
entire route?

We just made a run from Wichita, Kansas to SW Missouri.  When we left
Wichita diesel fuel had just climbed to $2.65 to $2.69/Gallon.  We saw it
several places in SW Missouri (Joplin south to Seligman Mo/Joplin north to
Lamar Mo.) in the $2.35 to 2.45 range.  Cheapest being ...
