Bo is back in the USA!







We were on a 27-day Fantasy RV Tour of the Canadian Maritimes, and all the worry and confusion over those new CDC Dog Import Rules was wasted energy.







Despite all the controversy and changing guidelines, it turned out that when we crossed back into the US from Canada, we weren't even asked about Bo or the forms and papers and vaccinations and microchipping we had to subject him to before the new rules took place on Aug. 1st.







Since our tour left the U.S. on July 22, we have spent a lot of time with our vet trying to make sense out of the CDC regulations, filling our forms, and jumping through the CDC hoops.







But on the night before the tour left, we received word that the CDC - bowing to pressure from veterinarian groups and dog organizations - suddenly relaxed the requirements that so many of us had already complied with.

In our RVLifestyle Community's Mods & DIY Tweaks Space we asked the group if anyone had a personal design or storage solution in their RV that has really worked for them. Many answered, and it was so inspiring to read what people have done!







Brian built a sewer hose storage under his Fifth Wheel and shared a picture of two square rectangular tubes to store the hoses that looked neat, clean and a wonderful solution.







Paul added a shelf to the bathroom cabinet of his 2017 LTV Unity that looked like an efficient way to add more storage.







And Burt, he and his wife were getting frustrated with the Command hooks they had in their bathroom to hang their towels because it started pulling the wallpaper off the wall. So their solution was to find a shower rod, get a couple of "S" hooks and put their towels on those S from the shower rod. They found a black shower rod and black "S" hooks to match their bathroom decor and it looked so good!If you are looking for a few space saving additions you really need to check out this thread.







Also in our Community, in the General Discussions Space, Greg shared that he recently heard that he should NOT sit in a closed slide.







His kitchen table is in their slideout, and on travel days, he and his wife sit on it for lunch. Now he is concerned this could cause damage and asked the group for their opinion. Greg's slide is rack and pinion. Suzanne said when she asked Alliance about partly opening the slide to get to the frig she was told to be careful to NOT step on the slide.







Her slide is also a rack and pinion and when it is in, it is slightly raised.  So it sounds like it could cause damage.
