If you have more than one receiver at home, use it in RV when your traveling!

I would get something to just cover the hole, but still have access to joint if you need to get to it....rubber gasket and a round or square piece of carpet.

Tiffin does not test TV's. Reason for LG, that is the best price they got for 1,000 or more units. Goes for all manufacturers out there!!! Some high end coaches will let you make the choice...friend does not like Sony, so they put in a Bang & Olafson, 46", $10,000 in a Prevost. Google B & O, it's unreal the tests it goes thru!
When I had my 07' Tour 40KD, I had the 1 Ton Sony replaced with a 46" Vizio LTD. A hydraulic lift system was manufactured, when not in use, it lay flat against the celling and it free hung when in use. 57,000 miles later, no problems! Old cabinet became the holder off maps, FMCA magazines and disks.

Portable, about $300-400, roof mount $2,400 installed + whatever you need to do for K band. Most rv parks have cable and more channels than I need!
I have Direct at home and starting to hate it! 285 channels and 50% of them are infomercials. Bah!

I would think that would be lower...do you have any mechanical schematic off chassis? Owners manual should show dash, steering, etc., you could also try to google for a parts manual off cassis!
If you cut it off and need to replace it, pull it tight or use a plumbers rubber sleeve that is slit in half length wise and hold it in place with 2 worm gears.
Luck...

Some coaches have the dust boot. 07' Winnebago DP and 11' Allegro Bus DP had it and it can get scary when you push on it rather than the brake! My current coach does not have it.
Call Fleetwood and ask if it would hurt to cut it off! I think it's main purpose is ascetic.

A long time ago, a friend told me about a black tank system that had an electric grid that would render toilet paper to ash and dry out solids before it was released to the tank and a macerator. He said the switch had a red light that would turn green, when the deed was done!
This is the first time I have thought off that since....

Hermann, I thought the same thing, but I did not want to sound condescending!

neoflyer,
Welcome to the Forum.
When in doubt, re read Brett.
Luck!

I use any truck stop that has 18 wheelers filling or parked. Old fuel is something off the past, when it was shipped in barges, hence the term "barge gas"! It was the fuel that was left in the bottom of the barge and sold to stations in the boondocks!
I would be more concerned about the accumulation of water.
I'm going to fill my tank when I leave here next week and then again at 300 miles, hope I get it all changed ASAP. I generally fill up at 500-600 miles, but this time, I guess I was thinking about something else and let it go until the generator stopped. 912 miles!

It was a sad day, when they stopped making the RV Bird!

OK. jlemont gave me the answer. I just didn't catch it until I spoke with a friend who is in the same park as I.
Apparently the first owner off coach had the same problem, unscrewed the chrome cap, then managed to cross tread it after adjustment. Next time he/she tried to unscrew cap, the force used left a slight Z on cap. I had it drilled out, used the allen wrench and adjusted mirror.
Next time I'm home, I'll retread for a slightly larger screw and see if that will prevent it from becoming loose. This has been the first time that I have had a problem with Velvac mirrors!
Thank you all for your input! Love this Forum and the people who respond!

Welcome to the Forum.
In May off 2008, I was at Nord Cap (North Cape) Norway, That is 71 degrees, 10' North! Saw a Country Coach "Prevost" with Alabama plates, parked there!!! How he got there is way beyond my imagination!
I have done most of Norway by jeep several times between 1970 and present and it's been a lot off fun, but a 45 footer? I would not even attempt it, as most campgrounds are set for 32' max TT's, 30 amp, water and dump station! Not to mention going thru all the little towns...
As for West and East Europe, price of fuel alone is prohibitive. They pay per liter, what we pay per gallon!

When your in a campground, take your toad and go see the Butcher, Baker, Fish monger and local Farmers market! If you ask a local person, you will find what you want in any country!
Fresh food, beats box store food anytime.
Chill

Hi John.
I have had the invisbreak on my last 3 toads and love it. I do a lot of 4 wheeling in all kinds of weather and conditions. I had a friend put mine in a Plexiglas box and it's mounted in rear off my Jeep Wrangler ( he did the same with the computer system) water and dust proof!
The unit has an adjustment knob on it and it takes a couple of tries, before you get the right setting for your coach, after that you don't change it unless you get a heavier or lighter toad or coach.
I had mine installed by a pro, so can't help you there.
I have a steel bumper on my Jeep and use the "D" ring holes for my tow bar. That way, I don't need to have a base plate installed...check out towing on this Forum and you'll learn a lot about it. There are some really good innovating ideas out there!
Good luck.

Not a full timer, but being from Texas and it gets real hot, I normally spend summer in Dolores, Colorado and Ruidoso, New Mexico. As I write this it is 98 in Abilene, TX. and 72 in Ruidoso, where I will be tomorrow!
I'll be in Dolores Aug. 7th. with a dozen friends from TX. and AZ. Most of them are FT's.
Good Luck & keep the rubber side down!

LOL. That's a really good idea! I'm going to remember that one....

I had to fill up at Love's today, only fuel stop in area, took 127 gallons of B15. Hope it will not affect my seals! Don't know if they fixed that problem with Bio.
Normally I stay away from Love, Pilot and TA, due to high Bio mix.

Thanks, it's a little different after 15 years. Surprised she lasted that long.
We are probably both out of luck until after FMCA, Madison, WI.! I'm on the road now, so I'll call them Wed. Gotten used to adjusting mirror every time I stop!
Before you replace....check the price. Mine are high dollar!!!

Seems I'm the only one, with a floppy inverted Velvac.

Like Hermann, I have the 360, started using them in 02'.
Chemicals are expensive and heavy. Also, they don't solve the problem...hate the smell!
Wish they would come with the coach...that's another pipe dream!
-
A relay is in order....I'll have it taken care off ASAP!
Thank you all for your input, it's much appreciated!

A lot of small towns have a water station, usually around by the fire station. Definite word is "small", less than 1,000.
-
LOL!
I do know about a 2amp, use it on my motor cycle. Never have I had to use one on an RV, DP or gas! Why now? None of my SKP friends, that I camp with for 3 months a year do it....confused.

kay,
I did not have Genie at the time. 4 separate receivers and I took the one from my garage. Worked great at the time.
Now I have a useless DISH on roof, should have stuck with Direct! Next week I'll be getting a portable from CW and it will have DTV. Where I spend August in CO. a roof mount does me no good and park cable is 4 channels.
Like you, I'll pay the $5 bucks, since now I have a Genie at home!
Use rabbit ears in garage...LOL
