Fiberglass RV mystery!

Found an entertaining read for my Kindle featuring newly retired Max, his wife, and (more or less!) a small fiberglass trailer...a Scamp, if I remember right. The story is based in Zion National Park, and was a pretty interesting first book.

If you want to check it out, Prey for Zion, by E.D. McDavey. Available on Kindle (.99) and probably on the Nook. Sorry, don't know about print.

This is the first fiberglass mystery I've run across!

So- did the Scamp do it, or was it the butler after all?

Now way the Scamp, more likely it the Burro or the Trillium!

I dunno, those Scamps can be pretty mischievous (just consider the name), but I'm with Carol, surely the Burro dun it!

Yer all wrong!
It was the "Bigfoot" who planned it's "Escape" on the "Trails West", but stopped for a "Lil Snoozy" with his "Companion" & got caught buy the "captain" at the "Geographic" center of North America while the "Northern Lite" went by in a flash!!!

Well, it you really want detail.....
The "Bigfoot" left the "Boler" in the "Tote 'N Tarry" then "Venture'd" out of its "Burro". The only evidence recovered at the scene was a large "Compact" which had her (yes "Bigfoot" is a devious female) DNA in it!!!
Just for clarification, I live in North Dakota where Rugby, ND is the Geographic center of North America and we actually get Northern Lights here. So There! LOL

I heard the Butler took the "Liberty" to "Borro" it without "Bigfoot's" knowledge. He "Scamp"er off with it against her "Will-erby" for a cheap "Trill-eraby"! And the plot thickens....

I dont know guys those are all pretty good suspects but Zion does have a lot of wild Burro's and we all know those little guys can be pretty darn ornery.......

Interesting line of conversation, but the main character picked up the new FG trailer from the factory in Texas (sounds like a Casita). However, the trailer is branded as a Rover in the story. Yes, I just bought the ebook and read the first couple chapters.

Allow me to do the honors, folks!

A "Rover", huh? Sounds like a real dog...

Hmmm, please clarify: Did 'U Haul' this story out of the fiction section, biographical, or is one of those Reality blogs that has the real truth 'glassed' over ? LOL!

I think Max and his wife decided to name it Rover....do you think it's a 13' or larger? My first thought was a 13' but it seemed they'd get too many people in it for one that size.

I don't know about the size yet, but they definitely refer to it as the brand name "Rover" and the same name as its nickname.

How soon I forget! Ok, that sounds reasonable! Allows them a little wiggle room that way too...the number of people they'd have sitting at, or in, their trailer always seemed like it would be REALLY crowded, judging from my Scamp.

I've seen one...it is fiberglass, with a little aluminum and stainless steel thrown in, but it's a lit-tle smaller than a 13-footer...

On the bright side, it can be towed with just about anything!
