Yes, back in the Seventies and early Eighties no one got excited about flashing lights, it was presumed a bad plug. These days with cell phones, blackberries, streaming wireless internet with live cams, GPS, iphones and apples people call 911. Once an orange electronic devise is introduced I think I will fall out. The last time I called emergency was after nearly being electrocuted by an electric drill motor while polishing my fathers Jeepster wagon. 911 did not exist then. We had a party line. I was barefoot and stupid. Perhaps that is what is wrong with me today.. DA's never get stopped. lol Leroy Eckert 1990 WB-40 Smoke N Mirrors Dahlonega, GA Royale Conversion --- On Fri, 2/27/09, tommy..rountree wrote: From: tommy.rountree Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: New Member To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, February 27, 2009, 6:47 PM Thanks for the "welcome mat", Greg. Is a small world indeed. Our Travco was a 1970, I believe the model # was a 320. 30 or 32 feet long on a Dodge chassis with a big ole Dodge 440. Good engine. We carried the kids all over the U.S. in that motorhome and never had mucxh of a problem. I pulled (backwards BTW) a little 73 or 74, I believe, Dodge Colt (Mitsubishi) RWD which had a hitch attached to the rear frame. I bought a winch type device which you used to winch up the rear of the car and then let it down on the ball which was mounted on the rear of the motorhome. As I recall, we used bungees from the front doors to the steering wheel to prevent a excess of castering of the front wheels. Towed that little car thousands of miles with never a problem. Didn't have brakes nor lights. When we traveled at night (which was very rare) I would switch on the emergency flashers. Never got questioned nor stopped. Anybody remember that kind of "set-up"?
