How helpful is it for hooking up to the Airstream - ACTUALLY? Tell it like it is, would you? 2 - Have any of you purchased ($30) the Hensley spare parts kit (a grease fitting, clevis pins, cotter pins and D-ring hitch bar pins)? If yes, have you needed to use any of those parts? 3 - Is anyone going to the Hensley Family Reunion Rally in Branson, MO during April 4-6, 2003? If yes, have you been to a rally in previous years? Any comments? Terry PS - I'll be off line for a week or more later this month. We're going to Charleston, South Carolina (Patriot's Point) where I'll donate labor toward the continuing restoration of the USS Laffey DD-724. I was at sea on her during most of 1955. She's still my ship. At Patriot's Point, our plan is to boondock in the grassy overflow lot unless it's too wet or unless we're directed to the employee parking lot where there are spaces marked for buses, trucks and RV's. And I will definitely not park dockside as the pier must always be kept clear for tourists and in case of emergency for fire trucks. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2003 20:08:38 -0700 From: "Roger Hightower" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [VACList] The Tongue Twister Terry Tyler wrote: 1 - Has anyone purchased ($30) The Tongue Twister?

Any comments? 1. Yep, I have one. It's not really helpful, because the travel is limited to 5 inches or so. I can get the hitch within that distance by eyeball, and by using a mirror on the tailgate can usually hitch up on the first try. I've only used the Tongue Twister once, when I first got it. 2. No. I do intend to put a grease fitting on so I can grease the ball easily, but that's an inexpensive item. I already have spare bar pins. 3. Not planning on going, but I'd like to. I just have other commitments for that time period.
