Graham, Gary,

I don't know what it's like where you guys live but here in Colorado $12000 is just a down payment on a motor home. I'm not going in debt any more for anything but a car when absolutely necessary. My house is paid off. I just do food, lights and gas now. Oh, I do go out ocasionally to eat, drive around in the mountains etc.

I've thought of a small camping trailer. However, it'd be quite a thrill pulling a trailer over these mountain passes over 10000 feet.

I'm like Dave and the rest of you guys. Shopping gear keeps me busy from time to time. Noticed I said shopping like Dave. Not buying. Ha! Ha! I'll get something soon. But it will last quite a while. I still have my i30 and am happy with the 16 bar loops on some of the styles.
