      Since I don’t have a freaking manual (they’re not available, remember) could someone tell me the function of this dash gizmo? Today for the first time while backing up in the driveway, one side of it flashed a few numbers!

      I gave that thing to Brian. He installed it. I have one too, It works great.

      It is a sensor on the back of your coach, it turns on when you shift into reverse. It blinks 0.0 when there is nothing behind you within 6 feet, and then the numbers start decreasing in half foot increments as you get closer to an object.

      I think Brian mounted the sensors below the taillights. Mine are in the license plate frames.

      You will like having it!

      The rest of us use our rear view mirrors (remember them?) or our cameras.

      Brian needed all the help he could get!

      Also, when backing up towards a building or vehicle, it is really nice to know exactly how close you are, this infrared device is really accurate.

      Oh, and Jon, you really do not need a GPS or an artificial horizon when flying on instruments either, an ADF with needle ball and airspeed is perfectly adequate. You can’t deny the fact that they make the experience nicer and easier, just like this gizmo.

      Peter talks up the gizmo however it didn’t keep him from getting up close and personal with the gutter on his hangar. But that’s another story of course. Mirrors however, would have saved the day.

      Yippie, I have an electronic back-up sensor and didn’t even know it… It really is Christmas.

      Thanks Peter & Brian, now I have something on my Liberty that Jon doesn’t!

      Truk: You probably got two things Jon doesn’t. I don’t think he has any sheep.

      At least the Liberty I had didn’t.
      Roger that!

      Peter,

      You had me convinced right up until the point where the moleman outed you. Now I’m beginning to wonder if the Smart car carrier was really to carry the car or hide the rear end damage.

      We have an award you know, and this places you in the running. Our two time winner, Mango can explain the entry qualifications.

      Now wait just a minute Jon. First of all, Merry Christmas.

      Now then, let me holster my derringer and pull out my 16 inch gun borrowed from the USS Missouri.

      OK, one time I was backing my bus into a parking place at my house and I just barely TOUCHED my hangar building rain gutter with the side of the coach. A little polishing compound later all evidence was removed from the coach. Less time than it takes to wipe up a bug smear on the front of the bus and no tools needed. The gutter was very easily bent back to correct shape with a pair of pliers.

      Now then, wherefor and wheras, one time we were away on a bus trip, and Brian was needing to park his coach somewhere else because he was having his garage floor rechromed or full body massaged or something like that. So I offered, out of the goodness of my heart, to let him park his coach at my empty space for convenience.

      When I returned, the truth became evident. He had rammed his coach into the same gutter and it was so far gone he had to hire the Gutter man to come replace it completely! A variety of neighbors will attest to this under oath or bribery I am sure. The fate of his coach you ask? I can’t say. Whenever Brian gets a bug splat on his vehicles he sells them and quickly gets another to hide the evidence.

      The defense rests your honor.

      Some very careful between the lines reading needs to be done here…………….
