If your interest was to educate ,than just state the facts . "look here is what a 16" brake looks like ,see the plate it makes it better" like that ! ! ! . I do not see where I used someones name . Anyone who reads this list in the bay area most likely knows this camper anyway . . Seems like I hit a tender spot here . I was just giving the listee"s "The rest of the story" .

I go in PEACE
