boy do I know that look! <g>

Thanks for the info.  Seems like the consensus is to carry the washer in the
"belly" and the dryer in the rear.  Now, I just wonder if we'll still be
able to camp on the way home...   :-)

(The washer & dryer are at a relative's house in the mountains of So Cal -
great camping up there!)
