I got my extra pins at Tractor Supply. They have a multitude of towing accessories and parts.

I carry a few spares of pins.

I have been using the same air line between MH and TOAD since 2008. When not in use I keep all towing parts in a plastic box. I have replaced the electrical light cord twice. Seems those contact like to act bad from time to time.

I have had AF1 since 2008. First on a 2007 Saturn and then transferred it to the 2013 Lincoln. I have never had a problem with it.

I have the King Jack and it is adequate. I also have DISH satellite and I can get the local channels wherever I go. Also, I have a Fire Stick TV 4k and I can get the typical TV channels with the Fire Stick, except CBS...they want a subscription. With that said, OTA signals are line of sight. They can be obstructed by any type of object. With Line of sight TV antenna height plays a very important part and my personal experience is "higher is better." If I didn't have all of the items I stated I would go with a push-up pole with a good quality TV antenna on it. The King Jack works well using the on-board amplifier system. The control is most definitely high on the ceiling but there is a sensitivity button that can indicate when a strong signal is present. Also, on the new smart TV's there is usually a "settings" that will show signal strenght for optimizing the antenna orientation. The same TV setting can be used for all TV signals. Yep, step stool is required for the reduced height people.

DB, be careful when retired, you never know when you are finished. Some days I get up at noon, and sometimes I do it twice. And don't forget that after retirement it is called Happy Hour (NAP)

Truckrouter.com also has options. You have to sign up but it is free. Also saw in Open Roads yesterday that all Love's Truck Stops will be giving a 28 cent discount.

According to "Open Roads App," all Love's stations are now providing a 28 cent discount for TSD users.

Go to google and search on your location, then put in your destination. Move the right pane out of the way. On the map side click on "More," In the search pane put in "diesel fuel." The map will populate with diesel fuel stations. You can use that procedure for truck stops, campgrounds, restaurants, etc. Others should be along with information on some APPS.

C, Saw your post on other thread about satellite internet. We also have dish. I don't know what phone service you have but we recently upgraded to iPhone 12 with AT&T. We have their unlimited plan with hot spots on each phone. Cost for cell service and unlimited is about 140-150 a month depending if you get a discount or not. We have the Fire TV Stick 4 K and when it is hooked to the hot spot we can stream the same things any internet connectivity can stream. Also, for the Dish Wally we have the Dish WiFi adapter that can be purchased at Walmart plugged into the USB port. It is connected to the hot spot and we get Netflix on channel 302. There are other options out there and the above is what we use.

MIne is also but most likely I don't have the tools.

I want to park next to you. There are a few things I'd like done,🤡

When you join TSD they issue an EFS card. It is a fleet card, EFS Card Info

7 nights, leave on the 29th.

I also use Truck Router for some planning, Also, when using Google Maps I'll get my directions then click on the MORE in the map pane and fill in the search with 'Truck Stops,' or 'RV Parks,' Makes for easy planning sometimes.

Jim S, I'll take a .28 cent discount anytime. When I need fuel it doesn't mater to me what station I use as long as I can pull in, fuel up, drive out, and with the TSD EFS card that is what I can do. One time I had to go in and the clerk didn't know what happened at the pump. they scanned my EFS card said I was good to go to fuel up and did not have to come back in. I'll take convenience anytime. Also, watching the marquees along my route there wasn't any difference in price and my last savings at Loves was $14 . One must watch on the open roads app for discounted stations.

We got out July 1st. Wanted to go earlier but youngest GD had graduation, etc. Beginning tomorrow we will be at I-35 RV park in Elm Mott. How close is that to where you will be.

Where you head to Bill?

FYI: We are here through tomorrow, then I-35 RV park in Elm Mott near Waco.

Traveling from Durant/Choctaw Casino RV park to Durant town on Hwy 78, ran across this. Sure glad I was not in the MH as there was no place to turn around except to unhook and then try.

I just used TSD EFS about 50 miles at a Love's and the pump price was $177 and my invoice price was $164 so I saved $14 with the TSD EFS card. Use their Open Roads App and find stations along the route that use TSD.

I'm 13' 4" but I watch for anything under 13' 6". If they have just paved the road with new asphalt it may be a little shorter than indicated until they get around to re-measuring. I like the GPS's with input of your RV information and it gives warnings of low bridges, railroad crossings and especially with low ground clearance but the most important thing anyone can do is WATCH FOR THE YELLOW WARNING signs.

Those margaritas can get you in trouble...be safe!!

Garman for RV. Don't know the newest model For planning I use Truck Router

Also I have found that in discussing politics one party always does not like to listen to what the other party has to say, so what's the point. You end up talking politics with those who believe the way you do and it changes nothing.
