We took our first full-family trip in our RP-180 last weekend. In this case, the full family is two adults and two mid- to large-sized dogs. The trip write-ups are lengthy-ish, so I'll just link to the full story: I did end up with a question: my sway bar has a handle that basically turns a screw that puts pressure on a metal plate that in turn slides in and out of a metal channel. What I can't find any information on is how tight to tighten it. Another question, of which I'm afraid of the answer, is "how do you get dog pee smell out of the mattress?" I suspect the answer is "buy a new one," but if anyone has any suggestions, please share!

Don't use sway, but I thought all the ones I ever saw had the instructions right on the slider.. Buy a new one. Factory mattress suxors anyways.. and buy a waterproof mattress cover.  ------------- |

We tighten ours about 1 turn past just tight. You want to dampen the sway without totally locking up the sway bar. Take the sway bar off before backing.
