Re: [a/s] The dreaded rear bath version in my 27 foot 1973 Over



Our tail sag came about from a severe snowstorm at Shaver Lake, California.  
Until then, our '75 excella did just fine.  We enjoyed our mid-twin-rear bath 
a/s and pulled it many miles.  But the snow load on this particular 
Valentines's Day weekend was too much.  Closet doors stuck from then on.  
Turned out that the a/s had been previously "repaired" for tail sag, a 
condition that the original owner conveniently failed to mention.  Even so. 
we pulled that a/s over 50K miles and enjoyed every minute.  Now we have a 
'83 Soverign which is built on 6" channel iron frame ( instead of the 4" 
under the '75 model, and we enjoy it as much as ever.
Good trips to all.
