  1. I subscribe to DISH in my home and have two of their DVR receivers that are Dual Mode capable. The receiver can support two TVs. I would like to take one of these receivers in my RV for an upcoming long trip (4 Months) and not have to deal with the pay as you go receiver. My RV is set up to receive DISH programming. Does anyone know if I can do this and continue to get two TV support by using the existing video cabling in the coach? Thanks, Jay
  2. Whatever you do, don't buy a Forest River tow dolly. I used it to tow a Honda Civic and after 4,000 miles the tires were wore so badly on the inside of the tread that they needed to be replaced. The manufacturer looked at it and said the axle supplier failed to tighten the hubs to the axles. After another 4,000 miles the inside side of the tire tread were wore out. I did a simple measurement of the center of the tire tread at the rear side of the dolly, rotated the tires 1/2 turn and measured the tires to the same marks on the tread and found the measurement to be over 1/4 of an inch longer. In other words, the tires were both trying to turn the dolly to opposite sides of the road. I also had to replace the dolly tail lights when driving in the raid blew them out of the plastic fenders and they were tore off hitting the road. When I complained the second time to Forrest River, they told me I must have used the dolly to tow a very heavy vehicle (Civic?) or hit a rut and damaged the dolly. Stay away from their products as they don't stand behind them.
  3. I'm planning to tow my 2006 GMC 2500HD behind my 38' Travel Supreme and I've focused on the Unified Tow Brake and M&G Engineering braking system and would appreciate any insights anyone has on those two brands. I also would like to know if there is any particular method to keep the battery from running down without starting the vehicle a couple of times a day. The GMC is 2 wheel drive automatic that I plan to order a Remco disconnect drive shaft. Thanks to all in advance, Jay Hillmer
