Ray the nice thing about those Rand McNally s was they showed most of the small back roads and smaller towns. And there wasn't a wire binder right through where you want to look. As the song goes, "Those were the good ole Days" Herman

Wayne, we are on the same page. One thing I do is when we have been on the road and have switched locals I will call when getting close to home and have then channels switched back to the home channels. Just saves time when we get home. A side note we live north of Dallas and the home channels for us are out of Sherman Texas and we know everything that goes on north of us mostly in Oklahoma. Since we are close to the Dallas zone I will call and have the locals for Dallas set to our sons address. Now we get all of the information for both DFW and Sherman. Herman

Maybe true Rich, but in my mind that is what the insulation is for, to keep the wiring from being exposed to the elements. JMHO Herman

This might just be the time and place for a examination camera. For me it would be a nice thing to have in my tool box. There are so many areas that are very hard see in or at. I know that both my RVs sinks have P traps like we have at home. Friction secured not glued. But I have no idea as to the other connections. I may just be getting in over my head on how my plumbing is hooked up in an RV. I do know that there is very little space between the top of my tanks and what is on top of them. Herman

We have Dish Network in both the S/Bs and coach. They both work great in both places. When we travel we don't change to the local channel in a location we are in unless we plan on being there for several days. When we are moving the TV at home is recording what we have it set to record. When we set up for the locals when we travel we can record our favorites on those locals. Heaven forbid we should miss just one episode of "BROKE". We would be devastated! Herman

Rich, I wouldn't think so since they recommend it to be used to seal around electrical boxes in homes. Our home, that is only 6 years old, had all the wiring installed then was all foamed in. Herman

Bobby, is there a way you can post a picture of the selector switch? It would help a lot. Herman

Did you run the shower and then look to see if you could see water? Can you see the P trap and does the drain, drain fast or slow? There are lots of things that must be checked before tearing up the floor or pulling the tank. To pull the tank you have to have access to the drain hookups that you are looking for in the first place. Herman

Jon, Home Depot or Lowe's, ask for a can of Foam Insulation. It will be yellow but it will work for a small repair. Herman

Bobby, Welcome to the Forum. Are you talking about duel tanks? If so are these the lines coming from each tanks? If that is the case it shouldn't make a different. Just that you may not know which tank you have selected. That is until you fill only one and then you will know which tank is full. Then you will know which tank you are on and mark the switch accordingly. Just a thought. Herman

Welcome to the Forum, Just be sure and anchor the table down securely. The chairs also when traveling. Again, Welcome

Jerry, I have little to no experience with DEF, however I have a friend that runs a very large truck shop and Roy said that he change the DEF pump on 4 to 5 engines a month. But to be honest, I wouldn't know one if it were in front of me. Joe L. will have a better handle on your question. Herman

Richard, Sorry but when the factories added components to their engine they didn't just stick something on and hope for the best. They took the time to engineer and test their engines to make sure the changes would work and last. Herman

wthreadgill, Welcome to the Forum. If you wanted to change to Dish Network, it can be expensive or quite reasonable. That depends on whose Satellite Dish you have. A friend of mine who had a Winegard Traveler for Directv got a kit to transfer it to Dish Network. I believe the kit was around $350.00. If you have a Winegard dish you might give them a call. Again Welcome. Herman

OK. Herman

I just came to a stop and put on air brakes. What you are saying is that you are setting the PARKING BRAKE. By dumping the air bags you are just allowing the coach to settle down and if you have jacks it help the jack by reducing the amount of travel before the jacks touch the ground and can begin to level your unit. One safety caution, "Never try to level if it takes your wheel/wheels off the ground, especially the rear wheels." Herman

TX, I do the same thing in a little different was. I tell them what I will pay. Like I wiil trade my unit and write a check for say $10,000.00. Nothing more. They will repsond but there are Taxes and fees. I tell them they can figure all that out of the $10K. They stammer, they stutter, then they make the deal. Did I get a good deal, how the H do I really know, but I got my deal not theirs. I also hate care sale people and tell them up front that I do. One thing I have allways noticed that most pre-owned RV dealers (sales people) are a lot more laid back and easier to deal with. Never any pressure and they will tell you up front what is or isn't wrong with the RV. JMHO Herman

Joe would you do it again and this time take videos so Carl, myself and other will know how to change out an airbag. Herman

I am still a believer that the Engineers know what is the best power to rate ratios are. But we still have old Hot Rodders out there that all they want is moo power. Overkill is just what it say, OVERKILL. RVs are the same as cars just bigger. When you put in a engine with more HP, then you need a heavier transmission, and then a stronger rear end, and the list goes on. If you don't like dancing with who you brought, take her home and get a different dance partner. Herman

Now inquiring minds know. (they may not know the difference between EDM RVl and TPO Roof material they know what the acronyms stand for) Herman

Jim, Welcome to the Forum. The folks here need a bit more information like Make, year, model and length of your RV. Herman

Eric, I think it is commendable on you for doing this for your parents. Have you thought of buying the RV you would like and just driving your parents down to Florida and have them stay in the same place or place of their choise then going down in the RV and bring them home in comfort. A house or condo should be level with no high steps and there is nothing to remember like dumping and getting propane. Herman

Dan, There a lot of folks that have been using Directv with either NYC or LS stations,-- there are some new issues with respect to the service with Directv on both coast. https://community.fmca.com/topic/15595-loss-of-directv-channels/ was started by a Direct user. If you go to the topic you can PM (Personal Message) him and maybe get the information you would like. Herman

I will be up the middle of June and you can show me how to do it as I watch. Herman
