    Maggiolina Reflective winter hood

    Take the Winter Hood with you and use it. If it is not right, I'll take it back and fix the problem. No worries. I will wait for your post on bedding, and add my $.02 worth. Have a good trip.

    Globalstar Sat Phones?

    I have had a Globalstar phone for a number of years. There are many places that I go where cell service is non-existent. It has worked for me when needed in the US, Canada and the West Indies.

    RRT on a small trailer options?

    One thing to bear in mind is that trailer suspensions are a lot tougher on a RTT than vehicle suspensions. This is exacerbated my towing lightly loaded. The pounding can be very tough on some parts - hinges, for example. Just sayin'

    Universal Roof Track (Thule TP42) install/use ?

    I prefer the Yakima through the roof tracks to the Thule ones. I have the Yakimas mounted on my ARE cap and carrying a Maggiolina. The through holes are sealed with silicone caulking, and so far no problems.

The problem with memory foam is that it gets hard and unyielding in cold temperatures. I use a feather bed about 1-1/2" thick under a regular flat sheet with a down comforter (I...

    Can a big guy fit in a Magiolina RTT?
