Coach Net is $250 the first year but only $169 to renew. They are the best in the market.

I am full time and registered in South Dakota. State Farm, Safeco, Hartford all would not write a full time policy without a homeowners policy. If I had homeowners why would I be full time???? I went with Geico and got a great price. I have stated value, and stated the value is the price I paid for the RV. When its 5 years old I may change to replacement cost, but I will get an appraisal first.

You can carry the sensor with you outside and then don't need a second person inside to help you. As a solo we figure out ways to do things alone, lol lol lol

I read a letter written by I think the CEO of FMCA stating that the Club exists to provide members 1) Conventions to attend, 2) Communication and 3) Benefits. Well as for #1 I have never attended any of the Conventions. I find them to be too expensive, usually $350 for 3 nights for boon docking or $450 FHU. Yes they do have seminars to attend and entertainment but I can attend seminars online for free and the entertainment is not usually my cup of tea. I also don't like crowds. As to #2, I do read the digital magazine. It takes me about 15 min. But not really much of a benefit of membership. Again I can get the same information online Regarding #3. I did try to use the tire discount program but got a better price going direct with a tire retailer, I did try to use the glass program but got a better price from the rep directly. Guess he didn't have to pay the referral fee to Guardian. I tried to use the Insurance program but got a better quote with Geico. I did buy the roadside assistance but now they raised the premium form $69 to $74 and now $159 so I did not renew. I am full time and have no physical residence so the Medical Assist is of no value to me. Well thats 3 for 3. Now FMCA is raising its fee from $50 to $75 and now I hear $85. Not sure if I will renew.

I have Geico. My Auto policy with Geico is a combo policy with the Auto and Motorhome on one policy. Geico has announced a 15% reduction in your renewal premium rather than a refund. I will see if I get a 15% discount on the entire renewal or just a proportionate amount for the Auto. In the meantime I’m still waiting for my stimulus deposit.

I just installed longer valve stems for my inside dully. I got the long stems from Borg Equipment & Supply. They are near Los Angeles CA. 7317 Foothills Blvd Tujunga CA 91943 (818) 352-8717. Paid about $55 for a pair. Don’t forget to order the rubber boot that goes on the wheel and protects the stem from banging on the wheel. I think they were an extra $25. I went to a truck stop and paid $90 to have them installed.

If you have a Class A Diesel like a Winnebago Tour then you have the risk of a very expensive motor or transmission repair. The small stuff you can self insure but motors and transmissions can be expensive repairs and most people can't afford to self insure that amount. If I were you I would call Wholesale Warranties and ask them if they have policy for just the moor and tranny. You may be able to get such a policy for a lot less than you think.

No Tim, it is just a standard coax cable. I have several of them in many lengths for parks that have cable tv. It goes between the LNB and the turret. It just screws on like any coax cable connection. No special cable is required
-
Well it turned out to be a easy fix. According to Winegard the Travler works independently from the DirecTv receiver. After replacing the coax cable between the turret and the LNB arm everything worked. It was just a bad coax cable. Unfortunately right after it was fixed a storm came in and I lost my signal. The storm passed by and I am now up and running.

Ask the Dr to give you a Rx for a 90 days supply with at least 1 refill. That would get you 6 months. You can go to Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Cosco etc anywhere. They keep a record of you in their computer system. If the Dr says no, ask him why not. He he won’t accept your request, find another Dr. I have diabetes and I am a fulltime solo RVer. I usually stay in one place for a few months. I have had to see a new Dr in my new location a couple of times but each time they renewed my Rx. Other times the pharmacy just called my Dr for a new Rx.

I called Winegard and was told that a 775 error, no power to LNB, is likely the coax cable between the turret and the LNB is bad. I am handicapped and can not climb a ladder or go on my roof so I am waiting for a neighbor 2 spaces down from me in the RV campground I am in to come over and help. He said he would go on my roof and attach a new coax cable to the dish. In the meantime I did check the power cable to the receiver, unplugged it and after 30 seconds plugged it back in and still got the 775 error. Will get back on here after the cable is replaced and report.

I have DirecTv with a Winegard Travler dish. I have had this set up for over 3 years now. I purchased the rig in 2017. It came with the Travler already installed. The rig is a 2015 and the original owner purchased it in July of 2014 so I am guessing that the equipment is almost 6 years old. Everything worked fine in the past. I moved to a new location yesterday. The dish locked onto the satellites fine and all worked well. This morning I turned on the tv and all was well. This afternoon I turned on the tv and I got an error message from DirecTv, error code 775 saying that the receiver could not connect to the sat. I powered of the receiver and powered it back on but got the same error message. I then powered down the dish and powered the dish back on. The Winegard power box now says no power to LNB. I don’t even know what an LMB is or where it gets its power. Would appreciate any help troubleshooting this problem. Thanks in advance.

Gray and Black holding tanks in Winnebago
txtiger replied to rpchap50's topic in Water and Holding Tanks
Even if your tank indicators are attached to the outside of the holding tank, they can get a false reading from stains on the tank. Cleaning your tank with dishwashing soap can help clean the inside of the tank and prevent stains building up on the tank walls. Another problem which Customer Service at Winnabego told me is that the sensors are glued onto the outside of the tank and often come partially unattached. Check to see that the sensors are firmly attached to the outside of your tank. -
I don’t have any reservations anywhere. I was to volunteer in 3 different National Parks April thru Sept. The first NP is open but the visitor center is closed. I offered to still come and handle the phone. Waiting for a decision. Need that free camp spot now more than ever. Have heard that staying in a WalMart parking lot won’t be an option soon. They are planning on setting up drive thru testing in all WalMart lots.

It really wouldn’t take much. All States would just have to recognize and give reciprocity to each other’s fishing license just as they do for your driving license. Maybe limit it to be valid for only one week or one month if they must as you travel. Drs, Lawyers, and other professionals have to get relicensed in each State they want to practice in.

State Parks in NM are closed but not the National Parks yet. Same for AZ. My research showed that the only National Parks closed so far are the National Mall in DC and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. More may follow soon.
-
Many sports, NBA, March Madness, MLB etc have canceled or postponed their season, many attractions, Disney, Legoland, Bush Gardens, Universal Studios etc. have temporarily closed and now I have even heard that all Apple retail stores are closing. Will the Federal Government close the National Parks in the near future? I hope not, but if they don’t would you go visit?

If it’s only 2 or 3 months it doesn’t matter but if you are talking about long term like 6 month or more than do as the others have said.

Not an RV, but related. My brother had a boat in a outdoor secure storage facility. One time when he went to pick up his boat, that was covered by a tarp, he found out someone was living in it. There was trash from McDonalds, empty water bottles etc. The storage lot refused to take any responsibility.

I don’t want extenders that can leak air, I want longer valve stems. I can’t reach thru the hole to remove the TST monitor when I need to air up and I am handicapped and have difficulty laying on the ground to reach the inside dully. I am in a small town in central FL, Wauchula. I went to a truck tire store, Napa, and Tractor Supply. Nobody has longer valve stems, only extenders. I may have to order online, just not sure what to get.

I never go anywhere without a fire extinguisher and hope I never have to use it. I never go anywhere without my gun and hope I never have to use it.

Calling will do nothing, it’s just a CSR on the other end of the phone. Writing may get some attention. But going elsewhere to purchase your fuel will get their attention. Before TSD.was available I always went to PFJ using the GS discount. It was faster and more convenient than going around town looking for a lower price. But now that TSD is available with a better discount at Loves, I haven’t been back to a PFJ in a long time.

Thanks Herman. Yes $40 doesn’t seem out of line at all. Loves tires shop needs me to supply the longer valve stems so I am trying to find a source to buy them from. I may have to consider another truck tire location but I need to stop at Loves to fuel up and spend the night in the parking lot so it would be very convenient for me to have them do it.

I have a hard time airing up my inside dullys. I have a Class A on a Freightliner chassis with 22.5 tires. Was considering putting extenders on but don’t really want to add a place where they can leak air. Looking into longer valve stems. Loves tire shop said they can add longer valve stems for $40 each side but I have to provide the stems. Anyone have any recommendations for purchasing long valve stems for an inside dully tire, online or store front? Thanks in advance.
