Even though I built a shelf to hold an A/C unit and I'd use it again, Chris is absolutely right on this. Some of you may remember me posting my story and pics from a 3 day trip on Skyline Drive with my Yamaha motorcycle in tow. It was very hot during the day (late July) but really cool and nice in the evenings. In fact, back then I still smoked and at that time was not sleeping well, I'd wake up several times a night. The first night I went to bed around 11:30 and didn't wake up until 8:00am!! When I saw what time it was I thought "What the..." It was the best 3 nights sleep I'd had in years!! Jeff
