RE: The Bike Rack Rocks and Rolls
I assume you have the type of bike rack which hangs the bikes from hooks on the rack with out supporting the wheels. If that is the case what you have done is the same as taking a 36" or so pry bar and hung apx. and 100 pounds on it, every time your rig hits a bump it is like someone pulling on the pry bar with all that force going into your frame. If you can support the weight of the bikes from the wheels at the height of the hitch and secure the bikes to the upright so they can't bounce it would be a improvement and better for your rig.
This is a picture of a Fiamma bike rack mounted on an Airstream. Airstreams are prone to damage from bike racks mounted on the frame as yours is done. This bike rack is the only one Airstream approves, it demonstrates the concept of carrying the weight in a wheel tray at a lower height. Your rig more than likely can stand the stress better than an Airstream due to differences in design but lowering the weight bearing surface will provide you with a better experience.

Hope this helps.

Is that "bolted" to the coach?

RE: what is a dw?
Put yourself on the receiving end of an email, letter, etc. Don't assume that the the other person knows what you are typing or trying to say. Spell it out in black and white. People that use acronyms for everything are just too lazy to type it out.
It seems that the younger the person is, the more they will use them. I think that it is really just rude to other people and defeats the purpose of communication on forums.
Don't even get me started on people that start their post with So.
Or it could be people responding with their phone. And it's easier to abbreviate than to tap tap tap.
DILLIGAF?

RE: Stolen power cord
They have a law here in CA that addresses these copper thieves. The recycling place requires photo id and a thumb print. They then are mailed a check in seven days. It's cut down substantially on the thievery.
Funny story, or maybe not, the thieves stole the phone cable that serves our neighborhood. The phone company sent a crew out to put a temporary cable laying on the ground until they could put a new one on the pole again. The tech goes to the junction box to check the signal, and he wasn't getting any. Like it was still dead. He goes back to double check his connections on the temp cable, it was gone. They stole it while he was working on it.

RE: Thermal windows??
There are no 'thermal pane' windows in RVs. They are dual pane. There is no gas-filled, hermetically sealed interior space between the panes. They have very little thermal value, but do offer a sound barrier, of sorts. Your money is better spent on thermal curtains.can't see through curtains.

RE: Special alert for California RV'ers
I was there for 2 hours. And I had an appointment. Without an appointment you could easily spend half a day at the DMV.

RE: Special alert for California RV'ers
I actually failed the MC test. But I think they felt bad about my having to wait so long, that they just waived it.:)
OK I am confused, or more confused than normal. you evidently have been riding a MC for years? and if so, how did you manage to fail the test, or was it the written part?
'bumpy
It was the written part.

RE: Lawn Space in Urban RV Parks - Shared or Site?
We are going to LV soon and were wondering about RV Parks in LV. Circus Circus claims to be the only one on the Strip. Is that true? Their rooms are cheaper than the RV spaces.
