3M-5200 is some awesome stuff. BUT don't use it if you ever want whatever your mounting to come off. It will not and will take part of the substrate with it if you force it off. If you want it to come off later better to use 3M-3600. It is almost the same great formula but more flexible and will come off later if you need it to. Both are great sealers and adhesives and I have used both on all my stuff from kayaks to sailboats to motor-homes with great success. NEVER use silicone for a sealant/adhesive. It will work for awhile but is guaranteed to leak later on and then the silicone has penetrated into what ever you put it on and nothing else will stick to it, including more silicone. Butyl caulking is better as a sealant.

Wind! Wind! and MORE wind! Be careful and watch it especially when coming out of the interstate cuts through the mountainous terrain. BAMMM! Wind will bowl you over! Make sure your awning is strapped down and cannot unroll as the wind WILL take it if given the chance. Happened to us with our slide topper. Had to replace it. Other than that and the altitude (possible snow & ice) it's no problem. Take your time. Leave earlier than planned (days, even weeks) and take your time. There are hundreds and hundreds of places you will want to stop and see. Did I mention, take your time? Well you should. Because there is nothing (other than God) as beautiful as this great country of ours. See as much of it as you can while you can.

Sell the motor home and buy gold. The end is near.

We use the inside shades and love them. No ladders, no snaps to ruin the coach's exterior finish or rust. Raining? No problem. I don't get wet putting up my shades. DIY - Can be custom cut to fit ANY window. They are great!
