  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Very nice gesture Terry and Doug. Hope every one escaping Irma finds a place to stay.
  4. 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.
  5. Who drives while you are rubbing those close on a washboard?
  6. Okay Bill, safe to come aboard now.
  7. Boy, I hope Bill doesn't post in this thread. Two W's would confuse the heck out of Carl.
  8. Not enough time to study for the test.
  9. Does that "M" in Carl stand for mean!
  10. Roger, Your fix looks like an easy solution to the wiper seals being out or turned in. They never turn in all the way, just part way up, etc. I'm going to keep your fix in my mental housing group.
  11. Kay, yep, I know. I'm on my 3rd call sign with the original in 1974, WB4, (General to Advanced same year two months apart) then in 79 I had a KA5 when I was in Japan, and when I settled down in Texas I got the 2x2 to reflect Advanced Class back then. Those were the code receiving days and technical tests.
  12. Never mind Wayne Sr. I found you in FL. Hmmm! That's 4 land.
  13. DD, The purpose of the spare is that you will not have another problem with the same item. After years of buying spares you can open your own retail shop. Yep, I carry some spares also.
  14. After having my roof replaced because golf ball size hail put holes in it I have one panel that was coming down about 2/3 of the way across the ceiling. We were getting ready to go on our 4 month trip last year and the repair center we take our MH to used 1/4 round molding, stretched the liner and fixed the molding to the side. Looks funny with one molding but it has held it up there and is only really noticeable when it is pointed out by us. Our problem is trying to find a panel that will match colors. Ours is an 08 Winni.
  15. Do you have FHU? Also, Earlene doesn't like to rough it so is there a Walmart nearby?
  16. I changed manufacturers because Michelin was not producing my tire size at that time, so I went with Toyo and just a tad taller and wider.
  17. Here is another Tire Size Calculator Width and height are a concern to make sure that the tire does not rub on any frame parts and that the width on dual tires don't touch each other...among other things.
  18. Hmm! I was under the impression that those "flaps" are wiper blades to squeegee the water off the sides so that when the slide is in they don't drip all over the place. The actual seals are the extreme edge on the flange a round the external slideout. The same rubber seal is located on the inside flange in the MH and when the slide is out that is the seal that keeps water out. Granted the flapper is a great help but it is not the sealing grace.
  19. Carl, we are not in Moses Lake area we are inside the loop about 3/4 mile from North Side Elementary School. As for the motor home water lever was 1/3 the way up the bay doors. Electric fuse panels (12v) inverter, etc got wet. Water was in the inside floor in front of and behind the passenger seat most likely from a leak on the roof or wherever. I'm going to call progressive in the morning and establish a case number.
  20. Were are safe. Water has receded considerably and is no longer a threat to the house. Street is still flooded.
  21. Hi Joan, and welcome back. When I have run into that problem, and only seldom, I will open up Notepad or even an email and type my information into it. Then if things are bad I can copy and paste into the forum. If it doesn't get posted I can still copy and paste in a few more minutes to see if it takes. It has only happened to me a couple times in the past 9 years, but it worked well copying and pasting. Again, welcome back.
  22. And the Governor has suspended hotel occupancy tax and it applies to RV parks also. On a side note: Water line in yard seems to have receded a few inches. Hope it is a trend.
