Wolfe, Thanks for all your help, us newbies would be flying in the dark if it wouldn't be for RV'ers such as yourself. Again Thanks KerryK

Posters, I use the Winegard Carryout mounted on the ladder mount. Why I use the carryout is because the tv's in my motorhome are SD. We have 3 receivers at home, 2 HD and 1 SD. when we go on a trip I just disconnect the SD receiver from the TV its connected to and connect it to the connections in the coach. Since that receiver is already authorized,I don't have to pay for another receiver. I did check with Direct and its perfectly ok with them. I don't really need HD, but I do like my TV. As far as local reception I do have a Digital converter box for the coach TV's. KerryK

Wolfe, Thanks for the advise. You mentioned about turning off the converter if you just use the gen set to power the refridgerator, would unplugging it accomplish the same thing since I don"t see any kind of shut off switch on the converter. Thanks in advance kerryk

Gentlemen, As a newbie myself this has been an interesting thread. How about traveling with the gen set running and the fridge on ac power. I have been told by some people that they run with the gen set running especially in the summer time so they can use there front A/C unit, because the dash A/C just isn't cold enough. I realize you use the same fuel as the coach does and fuel stops would probably be more frequent, any comments?
