' What's 'Trek Talk"?

Understand the real problem being the joining of the plywood. Had a
gap behind the coach on the floor that was almost a 1" seperation and
7" long. Easy one to find because you could see the daylight coming
in. Will see how well I can clean up the Ozite. Sounds like your leak
may have been worse than mine. I'll let you know how I make out.

This sounds like it may be a good candidate for a "Trek Talk"
paragraph or two.

Thanks again,
Rick

'Rick,
Did you mean 'couch' instead of 'coach'?

'Jim,

Sorry about that. Yes I did mean to type "couch". Brain/fingers
disconnect.

'Jim,

Trek Talk is a great little publication that is written by Al and
Judy Yeast. It is a paid subscription but well worth the money.
Contact Al and Judy at Trektalk@... for subscription info. Try a
search on this site for Trek Talk and you will get the info.

're cargo carrying capacity of 2002 model
i think this would be seriously limiting if u plan to full-time
the 2003 capacity is @ the same as the "old" 2830, and should be sufficient
