I had to stop on 1st long trip and bought a faux sheepskin large about 16” square) and very thick (8”) home decorator pillow from Target home department. Immediate relief- felt like sitting on a cloud and also gave better line of sight - felt like an over the road trucker. Even after the butt...
yes, I realized after building my 6’ Tacoma camper shell camper with rear door over lowered tailgate that I had no access to the spare so I added a roof rack to the shell to carry the spare up top when the camper is in place. That won’t help the mpg but will be good for my peace of mind.
In 2016 while driving my AZ registered car in OR where we owned a second home I was pulled over by an OR state trooper for not having a front plate. Upon being told that AZ only issues one plate per vehicle he replied that to drive in OR both plates were required and that I needed to have AZ...
