Ronahue,  We had the same problem with our 179.  I tried zip ties in a lot of different ways and finally found a combination that looked OK.  What bothered me more was the possibility that something would fall behind that area while on the road and we would not notice.  That could put that panel in a bind when we opened the slide.  We're pretty careful when we pack up, but there are a LOT of bumps in this world....

I finally got some small hinges, and now, if there is anything in the way, the panel will just swing out as needed.  I'm not keen on all that exposed wiring, but it looks like there is little risk - just ugliness.

That panel looks like melamine-covered particle board and what it attaches to is fairly stout aluminum stock.  No problems so far.

Haven't been there in about 27 years.

We've been to Niagra many,many times but not since the viewing platform has been there.  It terrifies me to think about it!  Love the falls, however.  Hoave you been out on the platform

We'll be in Acadia in about 3 weeks.  Don't forget Niagara, we'll be there going in the other direction.

At Acadia I suggest Seawall campground. If you ride bicycles you will find riding on the carriage roads amazing, additionally Sea Kayaking trips, and Puffin/Whale watching trips are great if the weather is good.. Be sure to make reservations. 

For dry camping Emerald Lake State Park in East Dorset, VT. Then visit the Merck Forest/Farm in Rupert for hiking or just visiting with the farm animals. Manchester, VT nearby offers great shopping as well as the Northshire Bookstore a must see.

Ft McCoy soldiers still come to La Crosse to party!  

We are heading to New England this fall.  Any suggestions as to where to stay or things to see?  We are ultimately headed to Acadia NP, heading north near the Great Lakes coming back along the coast heading inland whenever we find something interesting.  We like odd, out of the way local attractions and local food.

Will do
LaCrosse brings back memories I spent a summer at camp McCoy in Sparta, WI with the army in 1969. LaCrosse was where we went to party.

We did that same trip last year but from WI to those great National Parks.  It was a fabulous trip!  If you're taking I-90, give us a wave on your way past La Crosse, WI!  BTW, there are some beautiful state parks in this great state if you get a chance to stop while heading west.
