Hello;
Saw a '07 or '08 Itasca Meridian in Marksville, La.
On the left and right sides, above the side cameras, below the side marker lights, were two silver bullet looking items.
I saw them only passing, no close-up inspection... any ideas....

Thanks
Scratch

Was this a new rig, or did it belong to someone? If the latter, could they have been "deer whistles" that someone installed?

We always used these to scare off Elephants, and I swear that they absolutely worked flawlessy!!! Some of my buddies did try to use them as Deer Whistles, but I did see deer in the vicinity when they were used, so.......

Please!! Let's not stir up that hornet's nest again!

P.S. I agree with you--they also scare off wombats.

The moho that you are talking about I believe is The Brooks From Shreveport,La. If there were some big round mirrows on top of the regular mirrow That them. She drives the coach , because her husband is legaly blind and after her stroke her eyes are not to good. She adds thing to help her why she drives. She use to teach the woman to drive moho at the ralley. They go to Marksville a lot. I will see if I can get in touch with them and find out for sure.I know they moved.
