[VAC] Re:

["My Airstream" <myairstream@xxxxxxx>]

Hey Dan,
    I will look into the cork floor.  After all I don't have that much
square footage.  I assume cork insulates pretty well so I can walk barefoot
on a chilly Oceanside night.

The crashing of my 66 Ford Camper Special was the result of my momentary
innatention while driving through the badlands north of Guerrera Negro.  It
was a double spiralling rollover and at the last minute I dove out the
drivers window.  Got half way out when the roof of the cab collapsed,
collaring me in the window.  My little puppy was trapped inside but unhurt.
After what seemed like an eternity (but was probably 10 minutes) a Canadian
RVer who had seen the accident, came back to render aid.  Within minutes
there was a dozen or more tourists picking up my stuff from the desert floor
and bagging it for transport to the nearest hotel in El Rosario. (50miles
north).

I would like to point out that the hurricane of last fall in the Baja has
caused many washouts along Hwy 1.   Those planning a vacation down there
should be especially cautious.

On the bright side, my little Toyota PU gets almost 30mpg.  It is a very
strong little truck with a good reputation for hauling.  I don't expect to
pull the Airstream in the near future but your advice about the clutch is
very much appreciated.  I will probably also beef up the rear suspension so
I can take any heavy things out of the Airstream and put them in the truck
bed for optimum weight distribution.
