Yahoo Message Number: 85664
Many of us use space heaters in our LDs.  Here from the Oct. issue of Consumer Reports is its ratings of the top 7 space heaters.  Most of us use electric fan-forced convection heaters.

ELECTRIC CONVECTION

1. Honeywell HZ-519                      $60
2. DeLonghi Flat Panel HHP 1500           80
3. DeLonghi Oil filled RTD0715T           70

ELECTRIC FAN-FORCED CONVECTION  
4. Pelonis Disc Furnace VHC 461         $110
5. Vornado Touchstone 500 EH1-0032-28    150
6. Honeywell Mini Tower HCT 460           30
7. Holmes Transformable Tower HCT 460     80

I'm not trying to start a 1000 message thread over which space heater is better.   This is for your information and personal research.

I say the very best RV, with my tongue firmly in my cheek. This is posted solely for entertainment. I sure do not want to create a discussion of it's merits vis a vis a Lazy Daze or SOB.

It looks somewhat like a garbage truck to me.

It is interesting and DW lusts over the kitchen storage.
 I imagine it is 4WD. I also imagine you would need several dozen oil leases to fuel it.

Note the windows are covered in the last picture.
The last photograph could have been taken near Joshua Tree NP??? Cheers, Don

I like it a lot.  They actually race those kind of trucks in the Dakar rallye.  I used to see quite a few off road RV's when I lived in Price Utah, about 2 hours from Moab.  I really like the way they built all the drawers to secure the items, so they can take some off road jossling without breaking it all up.

Jag and I saw two of them, one larger than the other - both huge - at Arches National Park last year or the year prior.  They were from Germany and at least one seemed to be traveling the World.  Looked as if they had already visited most of the continents on the globe.  The largest one had a map on it showing where they had been.  They were awesome.  One of them had metal "tracks" that could get them out of sand or mud.  Don, you are correct: one would have to be Saudi Arabian to run one of them - or the Sultan of Brunei!
