  1. Tom, The foam floaters work real well, go ahead and ask me how I know. However, when you go to the toy department to buy them, focus, focus...it is the foam floaters you are after. Don't dilly dally and play with the other toys.
  2. I had that experience at my storage facility. The facility finally replaced the GFCI and I have not had any problems since. The more they trip the more the mechanisms weaken and cause them to trip at lower loads.
  3. Tom, Have you tried refreshing FF, or opening Safe Mode, or opening with disabled addons? Under Help menu.
  4. Ha ha! Something you don't have at the present time. If you go to the top of the page and click on your name then click on Account Settings and then click on Signature, you can add information to every post you ever made with your name, RV, TOAD, etc. It really helps when you may have a problem with a specific item in your MH for others to answer your questions.
  5. Dennis, A tip of the hat and and a hand salute to you.
  6. IM, Try using Firefox. I have been on a MAC for many years. In the very few times that FF will not access a site is typically because of the sites settings and when that happens I just switch to Safari. If that doesn't work I don't need the site.
  7. Oh the humanity! Sorry for Joe! Kay, thanks for the information. I'm going to try and get one of the little men running around in my head to remember it.
  8. Thank you to all veterans. This one is for you: For you
  9. I posted somewhere back but I encourage any veteran with ailments to seek VA support. If 'Nam vet the presumptive lists of diseases from AO are many. Like many I was stubborn. Retired in '84...in '96 friends kept urging me to file for VA... I did and it is one of the better decisions I have made. Before anyone criticizes the, the Houston VA is one of the better ones in the country. Thanks to all who have served and may you years be filled with happiness.
  10. I liked the 2011 Itasca Elipse at MoT. There are a lot of used MH's out there right now. Most likely as soon as the insurance adjuster settles with us they will all be gone and it will be like a needle in a haystack.
  11. I think it is plain ol' greed. Regular gas and diesel are the same price here, $2.39 per gallon. Go figure. Before Harvey and Irma it was around $2.00 and Sams had it at $1.89 at times.
  12. Thank you all for the wishes. As my saying goes: It is what it is, and then it is what you make of it. Just wish the insurance company would hurry a little. ISPJS, let us know when you find something.
  13. Tom, Some problems just don't go away. However, click on you name top right corner, click "account settings" and click on "signature." Check to see if "view signatures" are turned on. That's all I have to contribute to the "problem."
  14. Yep, on any given day that batteries have not been cleaned, take an volt/amp meter and put it between the two terminals, not touching the terminals and a reading will appear. The dirt/grime causes the flow across the battery.
  15. Doesn't matter to me when the first post was made Tom...pay Herman no nevermind. I am using the same program FF 55.0.3, on a MAC and I see all the signatures. It goes back to previous posts of holding mouth right (or left).
  16. I'm waiting on insurance adjusters after Harvey and MH might be totaled. I'm looking also...hope we don't collide in looking. Good luck to you in finding what you want.
  17. Happened to me in my 2008 Winni. Sat in the driver's seat, foot on break, released parking brake, shifted a few times from N to D to N to R - (couple times) pulled parking brake...problem went away. Just sayin'
  18. Tom, Do a google search on "Locking HDMI Cable" without the quotes. Quite a few options out there.
  19. Jim, Escapees has SmartWeigh scales. Give them a call. Site #1: Rainbow’s End, Livingston, TX Appointments available: Monday – Friday, 8 am – 10 am Call 888-757-2582 to reserve a time slot. They charge a fee: Escapers SmartWeigh
  20. Picky picky! Yep, sidewall will say, for example 5400 lbs at 110 psi for a 255/80R22.5 for a single tire and 9370 lbs for duals at 110 psi per tire. That would be the Maximum load & pressure on sidewall for a 255/80R22.5 A single 255/80R22.5 could carry a max load of 5400 lbs and a max pressure of 110 psi. The single tires on an axle, if the weight were distributed evenly, would be able to carry 10800 lbs with each tire inflated to 110 psi. Dual tires on an axle evenly distributed could carry 18740 lbs with 110 psi in each tire. So what I was trying to say is that as long as the load for the axle is is below max (after weighing the axle only (GAWR)), say for example a person is unable to get individual corner weights and the front axle combined weight is 9400 lbs, then inflating the tires to 110 psi is not going to hurt the tires and is a better option because corner weight are unknown and one side could be 5000 lb an the other 4400. Hmmm! Did I say that right. It's better to not exceed the max load rating of the tire nor the max inflation pressure of the tire. If the weight is unknown it is better to run at 110 psi until weights can be gotten. I have not traveled extensively but I have covered 46 of the 48 contiguous U.S and Oregon is the only state i was in that I knew for sure had scales open even when truckers were not required to stop at them. If there are other states that have open scales it would be a nice list to have.
  21. Until you get it weighed go with the max of 110 psi. I don't know why anyone would tell you not to run at that pressure. You should have a data plate somewhere near the driver side that will give you the GVWR and until it is weighed that is what you should use. I ran 110 on all tires for several years because I couldn't find a four corner weight place. Finally in Oregon I used the weigh scales that were closed. Run of one with all tires/axles, then run over the next with only passenger side. Use the differences to determine you individual weights. Max psi will not hurt the RV, but may give you a much stiffer ride.
  22. With Dish I get 3 satellites, 110, 119, and 129 but with a dome antenna it is only one satellite at a time but dish antennae do provide HD. Well, I have to say I used to get those satellites but the MH flooded during Harvey and waiting for insurance company to total it. My next system will be a DISH system.
  23. Very nice gesture Terry and Doug. Hope every one escaping Irma finds a place to stay.
  24. We have the DISH VIP-722 with the OTA Module. Get to a CG, go to the right menu and scan for OTA. The channels will populate the guide of the Sat system with a different color. Normal color for us is light blue and OTA channels show up as yellow. No need to change inputs on TV just select the yellow channel and press OK. Nice thing is that the receiver guid shows the channels and info for most of the prime TV stations. Also they OTA channels can be edited to indicate the channel station ID or just delete those foreign stations from the list. FYI for DISH we used to get a lot of foreign stations and now we don't. Go into the menu and find the LOCK features, select the channels you don't want to see in the guide, set your 4 number pass code and lock the channels. They will not appear in the guide.
