<div style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-SIZE: 16px"><div> </div><div>Hi all;</div><div></div><div>Had to back off a while and did some lurking, but I'm back on list and finally planning that Route 66/California/Washington coast and back across the top trip. I will probably be looking for driveways to park in as I and my lovely wife Diane cross country, so I'm looking. I'm talking early May start from the Boston area and about 2 1/2 months on the road. Does that time frame sound reasonable to you folks? Those who have done this trip or parts of it could help me plan my time by telling me how long it took them and points not to miss. Thanks for that.</div><div>Now to the point mentioned in the subject line. Due to wear on the poptop mechanism and aging springs, I have decided to go with the hydraulic lift assists. I am looking at the Bus Depot "regular" shacks and the Van Café "medium" shock setups. Any thoughts on either of these choices, or another one? I hope I am not opening a can of beans with this (maybe) oft asked question.</div><div></div><div>Dave B.</div></div> |
