Marsha and I will not tell you which manufacturer builds
the best Recreation Vehicle, just the kind of things to
consider before you buy. If this is the first time you have
shopped for an RV you are about to enter into the same type
of decisions you have to make when buying a home, after all
you are buying your home away from home,

* “You want something that will suit the needs of your family
within the limits you can afford, whether you are buying a
Motorhome, Mini-motohome, Travel Trailer, Camper or
Tent-Trailer, You have as well, several models of the afore
mentioned, with different designs and floor plans.

First, (alk lo someone who owns the type of RV you are
interested in, Talk to both the man and the lady who use
their recreation vehicle seriously. Men tend to get into the
mechanical aspects of the vehicle, how it handles on the road
or how the rr pulls. Women, on the other hand are more
interested in interior design, how easy it is to make up the
beds, if storage is adequate, stoves, refrigerators, ete. After
a good discussion you will get the feeling of how much they
enjoy this method of travel and you will probably be ready to
go out and buy what they have. Dont get excited, talk to
different people with different types of recreation vehicles.

After the verbal research, go to the local dealer and find
out what is available on the lot.) Walk through some, the
dealer is there to help you decide what type of vehicle suits
your particular requirements. He wants to sell you your first
unit, but he also wants you back lo buy again, so he is an
excellent source of information, Pick up the brochures, go
home and talk some more. By this time you- will be getting
close to deciding just what you want. You have talked to
people who own them, walked through them, test driven
them and d ed what price you can afford,

‘ud and sleep on it, because tomorrow you will

The near-fatal experience
ofa 73-year-old fisherman (Van-

make the rest of us ask our-
selves, “Where would I beif the
boat broke down and what
could I do about it?”

boat for 11 hours, fighting

with neighbors) as to intended
destination and time of arrival.
If plans change, call back. or
leave word along the way. It's
nice to get away, but nice to be
found if necessary!

7. Follow regulations re- -

8. If stranded, be able to
signal. As this fisherman said,
“Carry a flashlight, no matter if
you are going out in the
morning or at night.” A light or
flare kept water-tight would
have signalled the Hovercraft
and spared him a night on the
beach. ‘

9. If we must spend a
night on the beach, an emer-
gency survival kit, stored
water-tight and floatable, will
make that night more com-
fortable: matches; concen-
trated, nourishing foods; water
(for sea trips); can or pot to
brew that hot drink or soup;
fishing gear; sharp knife; spare
blanket (or equivalent); first’
aid kit; side-cutter pliers (for
fish hooks!).

10. The “Boating Safety
Guide", published by Transport
Canada,: lists the following
required safety equipment for
small pleasure craft: an ap-
proved life jacket or flotation
device for each person on
board;. oars or paddles; bailer
or pump; class Bl fire extin-
guisher where motor, stored
fuel, or heating or cocking
device are possible fire hazards.
This booklet contains much
more useful information.

Every boater has his own
check-list, but these sugges-

Even if You're
A Bank Robber

A bank teller’s insistence
on a withdrawal slip foiled an
attempted robbery in Chicago,
where the suspect demanded $6
million,

Police said when a man
handed teller Michele August a
note demanding the money in
unmarked bills, she told him
“You've got to have a with-

drawal slip for this much

The man went toa counter,
filled out the form and got back
in line. Meanwhile, the teller
called police.
