The tech will be looking for hidden damage as they replace things on the roof.

Steve what about the roof itself? Yours was one I could actually see the marks...looked just like our hoods of the vehicles.

Tim's adjuster used a chaulk stick to highlight the marks.

Regarding the Chevy HHR pictured above - the breakaway switch may not have been activated, since they are frequently attached to the hitch (which broke away). Makes a good case for attaching the breakaway cable to an independent attachment point on the coach frame.

Oh I so wanna be there! Got the hat now; is that good enough, or do I have to add leather fringe to our shirts & pants? Don't do boots. Moccasins, mayhap.

What a girl, Herb and Barb! Proud as you are, I hope she has every pride in herself and knows she earned every award.

Now go pick up all those buttons. 😜

I would love to see you fly off with Bob. Not a yak - but what a site to see.

Back in the day, a physique like mine was attributed to the aristocracy... today, not so much. But I do have some loot left... we may need to upgrade one day. Eek.

$0.00, I say zero, deductible on both. We went to zero before our trip to Alaska in 2013. LARGE savings for an extra $8.00 a month.

Has anyone tried finding Michelin 255/80R22.5 tires? Non existent.

I need them near me to replace the ones I have.
