Hi Ron,
That brings a question to mind...Is it legal to carry guns and ammo
in the coach? I plan to use my gmc for deer hunting and also wonder
about " House Security ". However I would point out that I have been
tent camping ever since I was a kid and never have had a problem. Last
March we drove our truck to Florida and stayed in a campground. We think
someone rummaged through My Girlfriends purse. They didnt take anything
but called our house in Michigan and left a weird message. Kind of scared
her!
Take care,
