[Shotimes] OT where are all those campers going?

[Zach Leahy]

Yeah, that's been going on since Katrina.  They can't make enough of them...
We get a lot coming down on I69 as well.  One of the big problems I have
heard though is that many folks don't listen and don't have a place for the
camper trailers to go.

There have also been incidents where someone is mad that someone else got a
bigger trailer and set fire to it.
