I just got back from an 11 day trip to Bay Area (San Francisco) and made the trip without any problems. Interstate 5 and Hwy. 101 are so rough that when I stopped I would have to access the damage to the inside of the rig and proceed to piece it back together. Example: The angle aluminum angle which is attached to the shelf in the closet pulled the screws out because of the weight of the clothes. I know, I know, half the clothes and twice the money but since we were going to a relative's wedding in Half Moon Bay I wasn't allowed to wear my USC sweatshirt and 501's. What I discovered after banging my head against the bottom of the bedroom slide is to use the foam tubes sold for swimming pool toys and slice them down one side and slide them on the edge of the slide. I forgot to use them on the way home in Mojave and setting up in the morning drew blood. It's a simple fix but you won't start your day with a headache.My 2 cents worth

I've been thinking about a hard hat!

You found two highways that were in horrible shape. I've gotten banged good and hard by monster potholes in an Interstate East of Chicago (not toll road). It seems like we should be able to report these bad spots and have some expectation that at least some temporary filler could be poured into the hole until there can be a permanent fix. Otherwise, if the highway department knows about them and intentionally does not fix them, are they responsible for damages caused?

the worst I found on a recent trip was in Oklahoma City-it was terrible!-whsk

Sorry to hear I 5 is still bad. Went the full length to sandiego last year and was amazed how bad around Stockton and other areas. But they were workng on it. I guess it's waring out faster than it can be repaired.
