Thanks for that tip, Alaskansnowbirds.  The trailer has been prepared for winter storage and is parked across town at my parents' house---they used to have a motor home and have a large gravel pad next to the garage.  This saves space in our meager garage for our other wheels beside the...

Marsha/CA wrote, in part: "We travel with 2 cats without any trouble at all.  However, the first day they are a little queezy.  Although we have "boondocked" on several occasions, during the summer heat we make sure we are at a spot with hook-ups so we can keep the A/C on for them.  We are...
