The RV Lifestyle January 22, 2009, 07:48:11 am Yahoo Message Number: 98733The part or full time lifestyle that we pursue got a significantly different take in the January 22 edition of the LA Times (latimes.com). Two LAT writers offered an article on "Special Zones" dealing with a subject of interest to all of us-RV parking-from a different perspective, but including us. "Vacationers" are not to be invited into these special zones. "They are not KOAs." A sobering commentary on the reach of our economic circumstances.

It also shows how quickly we can "go third world", as with Katrina. Here local and state governments lack the ability to restrict street parking AND the tools to lure the street parkers to areas where sanitary sewers could be employed. Paralysis. A lose-lose situation.Cheers, Don

Re: The RV Lifestyle Reply #4 – January 22, 2009, 04:03:08 pm Yahoo Message Number: 98751Did they just have one front window?KateYes, they all had the one-piece, leaky, 'real' window until LD stop installing front windows in the late 80s. I could not find the exact year in the files.I was wrong about the model year of the LD in the photo. I should have said late 70s. It's a beauty! The front corner of the roof has had an encounter with something. Nothing a little Eternabond tape wouldn't fix it right up.We have a local guy that has been living in an old, clean Winnebago for several years. He parks it on a bridge that passes over a storm drain channel. He moves it almost everyday to the opposite side of the street. If things get too bad, we will move in across the street from him.Larry
