I agree; absorption figgies are out!

Might call for a bungee back-up

I'm taking that advice; I'd rather not find out the hard way...  ;D

Wise words. What did you use for a retainer?

Do you think it's really necessary to have a door-retainer? Ours is a big rig (41') with MorRyde suspension; stuff doesn't seem to move around much when we drive.
