Drove home yesterday, heavy traffic, another storm and enjoyed my first experience driving in a 25 mph cross wind. Which I handled fine, just slowed down. No leaks !
All in all learned a lot in this week.

As far as the race, Toyota still has a huge advantage over the other makes and it shows.
Maybe that's why the stands were only half full.
We're heading to Talladega in Oct. Been there in previous rig, but plan a few more stops on the way in our new Challenger. My husband installed a Safe-T-Plus and a trac bar. Hoping that helps!

We've been suffering from the same windshield heat issue also. For a quick and cheap fix, go get some Reflectix at Home Depot or Lowes. We covered the windshield and the west facing side passenger window. It made a good 4-5 degree difference in our RV, taking it from unbearable to tolerable. More fixes are in our future plans, but for now I'm a much happier camper with the Reflectix!
