As an unrelated side note, did I read you mention RV? Could this be a.....dog show RV? If so, please share (private is ok if you want) what to look for in a good dog show RV! I am trying to talk my hubby into making that my next purchase!! We have went to RV shows but any feedback would be great!! Especially.... whether you prefer the kind you drive or unhitch? Finding room for crates- do you buy collapsible? Min. fresh water requirements? Do shows always let you run the generator for AC? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now you are into my arena of expertise. We started by taking the dogs to a show in our 1950 Chevy coupe, but that was a long time ago. When we started showing dogs seriously, we had a pickup truck, but that seemed inadequate, since I would not allow the dogs to ride in the back. So we got a GMC Suburban - Nice car. But alas, there was the cost of travel, meals and motels, so we got a nice used motorhome - 34 foot Airbus, basement storage, 390 gas engine - we were all set. Then some idiot asked us to drive the new diesel pusher he had on the lot - 40 foot diesel pusher, pop outs, all the comforts of home, and we had to have it. So... Motorhome Crates Fuel Handlers Entry fees Bonuses Victory dinners Nationals I am now rivaling the current government for the highest amount of debt created in the shortest period of time. I still love my dogs.... Dave ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
