If you use a Dish Hopper, you can support two tvs from it. The 1st tv would need HDMI cable to get HD, but the second tv would use a Joey. The Joey communicates with the Hopper via coax. This would get service to the second tv, which to get HD there, would only require HDMI from the Joey to the TV.

My unit has the heat pads for the tanks. It also has a small electric heater in the wet bay. I turn on a switch inside, when the temp in the wet bay drops to a certain level the heat pads and electric heater come on. I can't reach the pads to tell how hot they might feel. Works fine for me.

If you are going north out Glacier, I would recommend you consider going to Banff. Not far and it puts you on a main route to Vancouver. There is much to see in the Banff area. Glaciers, wildlife, etc. Banff is as easy drive from Glacier.

Is the warning light for an ABS Filter or for the Antilock Brake System? An ABS filter is made of ABS plastic material and used to eliminate odor from a standpipe, etc. If the warning light is on the dash, it might be for the Antilock Brake System.

Well it is Tuesday and I just read your request. If you haven't already found someone, I have used San Diego RV in El Cajon [(619) 561-3531] several times. They were responsive and did good work. Hope this helps.

While I can use my off air antenna for locals, I lose all the benefits of the Hopper when I don't get locals thru Dish. I have all my items plugged into a power strip; when time to reboot just flip the switch. It also permits me to cut power to everything when in storage to avoid undue battery drain.

The reality is that if you don't tell Dish, they don't know if you are in an RV or at home. When I want to change locals while traveling, I just tell them I have made a temporary move and they change the locals with no issues. The issue is what will work with your model antenna. In your case, the original Hopper and Joey should work fine.

Have been using Dish for 8 years in my RVs. Currently take a Hopper and 1 Joey from home when we travel. You can use Prime Time Anytime to auto record all 4 major networks from 7 to 10 pm each night plus watch any other 2 channels or record any other 2 channels at the same time. I have the 1st generation Hopper. The newer Hopper has even more capabilities. I never heard that they won't sell for use in RVs. Just find a Dish dealer and tell them what you want. I don't see how you arrive at the conclusion that their offering are slim. I just hate to see any service bad mouthed when a person has no experience with that service. If you have a Winegard Traveler antenna you have the ideal setup for good tv service from Dish, you need to work with a dealer rather than directly with Dish.

I have read on several occasions of members of this forum being critical of irv2 for people slamming their posts. How is what happened here different? Seems there are some people who find it necessary to be critical rather than show some empathy for people who have problems. If you don't have all the facts, then perhaps you should resist the urge to comment.

I'm not sure why everyone wants to jump on these folks, one of the benefits of Assist is prescription drug replacement: If the member misplaces a medical prescription or damages eyeglasses or contact lenses while away from home, Seven Corners will arrange and pay to deliver the replacement prescription or glasses (lenses included) to the member’s current location. Only the cost of shipping is covered. The cost of obtaining the prescription and/or glasses is the insured’s responsibility. The maximum amount of this benefit is $500. See above. She did mention that she had lost her heart medication. Seems they should have received a call or some help in this regard. While there was nothing to do regarding the coach or his lack of sleep, there is really no excuse for being ignored. IMO

An equally real question is what Canadian Customs is going to say about what you bring in. You are only allowed a certain amount of liquor to be brought into Canada.

I see a lot of criticism on this forum of irv2. I have used both for a long time without issue. They both contain good information when you have a problem. Never had an issue with linking to an outside source. Just MO.

I have used gmail for years without security problems. It doesn't matter if you pay for a service or not, they all track usage.

There is also apps on the Apple Apps store named iExit. There is one for trucks and a regular one. They show every exit and services, rest areas, and pullouts.

You would think the Owners Manual and the manufacturer would have the correct answer.

My current insurance is with Hartford. My insurance is coming up for renewal so I received a quote from USAA for my home, 2 cars, and MH. They were close on home and auto, but since they don't insure MH they use Progressive. Progressive's price was $1,550 higher (no that's not a typo) than Hartford. Hartford is hard to beat when you insure it all through AARP.

How often you need to print may determine whether you need an inkjet or laser printer. We use a small wireless HP Laserjer P1102W since we don't use it often enough to keep the ink good in an inkjet. It is black and white only, but if we need to print pictures, much cheaper to go to Walmart, Walgreen, or CVS.

If you don't want to hook into your air, SMI's Duo model works great. I installed the Duo when I had a gaser. When I moved up to a diesel, I have continued to use the Duo without problems. A great system.

I use the Winegard Traveler for Dish. Works great and receives HD anywhere I have been. I also have Dish at home. I take the Hopper and 1 Joey from home and put in the RV when we travel. It takes about 5 minutes on the phone to get the location changed to my new location. I personally have been very happy with Dish customer service for a number of years. Each of us can watch the channel of our choice on either TV. This is important to a happy trip.

Many moving and storage companies have scales that are level and give you the capability to weigh one side at a time. Try your local yellow pages.

I had a problem with birds building nests in the awnings over my slides when in storage. They do it quickly. I simply cut a piece of screen and attached to each end of the exposed part of the awnings with clips. No more nests. I have not had a problem with them trying to build nests while we are using the MH.

You should get a Canadian proof of insurance card for your MH and tow from your insurance company. If you or your spouse are on Medicare, you should know that it does not cover you in Canada. For any prolonged stay I usually get a supplemental Canadian health insurance policy for the period of my stay.

I have noticed a "slightly" burned prong on my 50 amp plug. The prong has some discoloration, and one spot where there seems to have been an arc. Is it acceptable to clean and sand that prong, or is it necessary to replace the plug? Also, if there a risk of the wire going to that prong being ruined? BTW, everything works fine, and I don't know of any electrical problems. I suspect the arc is the result of a bad socket at some campground. I have a progressive power monitor installed, and it has not generated any power errors.

I have been considering AGMs for my house batteries, but have a question: Both the house and chassis batteries are on the same charger. If I change the house to AGM, and set the charger to AGM, what happens to the wet cell chassis batteries? In cases like this, is it necessary to change both house and chassis to AGMs?

According to the date code, those tires will be almost a year old by April, 2016.
