    Poor Mattress

    Our rv is about 10 months old now and the mattress is not holding up very well. It has depressions in it where we sleep. Anyone out there had problems with theirs? We might have to switch to a Serta or something, but we are still under warranty and it really should last a lot longer then it has.

    New federal law on states drivers license

    I see now it will take many more documents to get your state drivers licence renewed. I was looking at the documents needed now in South Dakota and there is a new form for fulltimers.
