Hhhmmm . .. support for the list and creating more camaraderie is
great!
However, give a hard think about putting stickers on your rigs calling
attention to what is inside. Dragging my livelihood around for three
years on 2 1/2 inch ball made us keenly aware of the benefits of being
"invisible" at times. The unadorned trailer made sleeping in strange,
quirky towns, or grabbing a bite to eat in busy, but obstructed
parking lot view eateries a lot easier on the brain than if we
advertised that a race car with plenty of tools and easily pawnable
items were inside . . .
You can keep the rig close, but just like kids, you can't keep tabs on
them 24/7 -- unless there is a sentry, or one heck of a great alarm
system, its "plain Jane" for me.
Just a thought from someone who spent a few years living out of a
suitcase while seeing the USA a quarter-mile at a time . . .
