[Falling Headliner]

I can tell you what not to do.  On our 89' southwind, I tried gluing it back up with spray adhesive.  That does not work.  I believe the fabric and foam backing need to be completely removed and replaced with new fabric.  This also involves detaching all the upper cabinets, and any other items on the ceiling.

Let me know if you find a solution.

[Harvey was a Rabbit when I was in High School]

Fyi, if anyone is interested, here is some info on TX state parks, and their various conditions after the storm:

[Walmart Overnight Camping]

Punxsyjumper nailed it.  We've done many of the things mentioned in his post.  Just ask permission of management if you don't see other RVs parked there.

Been doing it for years, usually alternate between RV parks and free parking.  Especially like free parking when we will get to a destination late.  That way we don't wake up other campers in an RV park with headlights, parking, etc.

The only problem is parking lot cleaners in the early morning.  They can be loud.

[Motorhome OR Towable … Which is Right for You?]

All good comments regarding which type or RV to buy. I would add one additional thought.  When traveling with kids, I would suggest the motorhome over any type of towable.  I know the cost is a little bit higher, but how many times when traveling in a car did you just get on the road, and then hear the comment "I need to go to the bathroom"!.  With the motorhome, they can use the facilities without having to stop and go back to the trailer or find a rest area.  Also, the seating is more comfortable than being cramped in the back seat of the car.

[Looking for your input and recommendations on our trip to the Grand Canyon and NM]

I would also recommend staying within the park at Grand Canyon, possibly at Trailer Village. The shuttle service is great and very reliable.  If you have time, be sure to take the red route to Hermits Rest, especially in the morning before the crowds pile up.  Important note!  Be sure to get reservations at the campground as early as possible!  Some suggest getting them a year in advance during busy times.

I would also 2nd the suggestion to go through Colorado on I=70.  Glennwood canyon is impressive, and a dip in the hot springs pool is wonderful!

Also try to see some of the other National Parks in Utah such as Brice, Zion, Arches, etc.  All worth seeing.

[RV Boondocking in Non-traditional Ways]

You mentioned the boondockers site, but you never mentioned anything about the free list of Stopping spots and Stopover spots listed in the FMCA magazine every January. These people welcome other FMCA members to stop in and the Stopovers allows other members to spend the night.
