Does anyone know their status?  I think they have gone out of business
but am not sure.  Their website is unreachable and their phone number is
now a fax machine.
A Ford dealer here in NH has a leftover 2006 American Vans Conversion

That "U" shaped Skywalk over the Grand Canyon is open.
Someone sent me pictures of their cousin on it.
She said it was well worth the money.
Not bad.........took about what......10 years to build it ?   <g>

I have a 1997 AeroLite travel trailer.  It is in great condition as it

I have been in the septic system industry for 22 years and used a lot
of different kinds of treatments. The best treatment I have found is a

Yes, I even sang a bit of the song today, and what a day.
Got everything on our rig ready to roll and started out right at 10:00 am.
We're traveling with my Sister, and we pulled around the park to the street
she's on. Stopped to check her tail lights and turn signals on the MH ...

I have retired and have been wanting to do some traveling. A friend has
a 1996 Southwind motorhome that is 35 feet long with a tag axle. It has
22000 miles on it. It is a wide body (?) and a basement model. There is
a 5000 watt gen, built in vacuum cleaner, automatic leveling, solar

It is in the shape of a horseshoe , made of glass, and goes out about
70' from the side of the cliff .  Below is a 4,000 '  drop . They allow
a max. of 25 people on it at a time.  I understand it is quite an
experience and will cure any fear of heights.   Please let us know if

up a normal smaller fridge (~5 cu ft) and just run it on
electricity.

I'm presently half-way home in preparing for my RV adventure with a
brand-spankin' used 2003 Dodge Turbodiesel. My attention is now focused on a
5th wheel to complete the package.
There's a 2001 32-foot Carriage Cameo LXi for sale a short distance away.
