A distant in-law of mine (all the wealthy ones are always distant) bought a motorhome (diesel pusher) that has an automatic satellite antenna. Once you park, your computer sorts out where you are via GPS and then the antenna servo's until it's found a satellite. The owner runs some consulting businesses from his laptop while traveling the US and needs to stay abreast of business and stocks.

Suarez" Subject: Toolbox Review and Recommendation Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2000 17:51:52 -0400 Good afternoon, I wanted to pass along a firsthand impression of a toolbox that I took delivery on from Creative Industries in Kenmare, North Dakota. They manufacuture a line of boxes targeted at fifth-wheel haulers that have a very low over the bed rail profile. I would say no more than 1 1/4". Diamond Plate aluminum construction with a choice of side to side sliding or single flip up lid. I ordered directly from the manufacturer and it took about 3 1/2 weeks to get my box delivered (I had it shipped to my office so there was no residential delivery surcharge by Yellow Frieght). The unit is extremely well put together with clean, consistant welds. I have yet to find a burr or sharp edge and it's obvious these folks care about the quality of their product. Anyone looking for a toolbox that won't interfere with your fiver should consider these units.
