[VAC] Dumpiing & Sagging coach



Jim,
 
Dumping keeps you regular.
 
As for the monocoque structure of the Airstream I don't quite think you understand how the sum of all parts equals a very strong unit.  Have you ever done mechanical work on aircraft?  You'd be very surprised when you found out how light the material really is yet how strong it really is at the same time.  What about structural engineering?  Have you ever studied that before?  You'd be amazed and saying to yourself, "How'd they do that!?"
 
Andy is right and he knows from where he speaks in regards to the sagging rears.
 
Just remember to keep dumping when you need to and you will be OK.  Right, Andy?
