    Wonderful to hear there is a Veteran's Chapter organized. Now, how do I go about joining this chapter? I was unable to attend Albuquerque rally and Oregon in August is also doubtful. However, when my wife (Joy) and I begin fulltiming (within 6 months hopefully) we will try to attend these regularly.

    Hello all,

    Just want to warn/let everyone know what we've learned the hard way -- VuQube 1000 (and 2000) will NOT work with any DVR ... only with a receiver/tuner! We switched from DirecTV (too much hassle and fighting over bills/contract terms) and went to Dish, using multiple DVRs so we take one on the road when we travel. Although we were not told when we purchased a VuQube 1000, you need to know it won't give you anything if you try to connect one through a DVR. We just sold ours to a trucker and are researching just what system to go with now.

    PS: our 2000 Georgie Boy CruiseMaster has a manual dish satellite receiver built in, but I don't want to spend all day trying to align satellites manually -- :rolleyes: -- so we're still looking for a replacement. I have been told the carryout Wineguard satellite receiver also will NOT work with a DVR receiver, so if anyone has real experience with this, we would appreciate your input as well.

    :rolleyes: Really appreciate the references ... however, too bad these types of presentations can't be recorded and sold/rented at a reasonable cost to members who are unable to view these seminars live. I sure wouldn't mind paying $5-$? for a DVD of such items. Could there be a possibility of such an addition to FMCA programs in the future? I know there are many production companies that would take or record a master copy and willing to provide copies at a reasonable cost -- usually around $6 a copy. Or perhaps FMCA might set up a library to rent/sell DVD's of seminars in the future?

    Just wondering ...

    Hello.

    I just purchased a 2000 Georgie Boy Cruise Master with CAT 300 HP turbo (3126B) and Allison MD3000MH transmission. This is my first diesel pusher, so I am a real newbie, and hoping to enter full-time cruising within the next six to 12 months. I drove it home and got the engine ID # off the engine plate (6510262303 00D04 T103). However, I can't find any Ser# prefix and am wondering if there is one, and where it would be located? Also, there are two VINs on this unit - what is the second one for?

    I can find no paperwork showing complete maintenance records (odometer reading is 44,500 miles), and want to get all service done at a Freightliner center for 45K miles, and probably include new belts, hoses, etc. Can someone give me a reasonable expectation for the cost of this type of service?

    Also, the steering wheel is aligned off-center about 45 degrees, and there appears to be about 1/4-3/8 vertical play in it. Any advice on how to align the wheel and eliminate this up/down slack in the steering wheel?

    Thanks for your patience and suggestions everyone.
