Shoot! You will screw up your absorption refrigerator??
-
Our front driver's side slide was kicking out just enough to be noticeable by a critical eye. One day when I took it in I accidentally left an area rug in the way of the roller. The rug corner was just over the depression left in the wall to wall carpet by the roller. The creep back out stopped. I now leave a small area rug over the depression. Our problem solved. Just a thought that could help others because it helped me.

That is one heck of a big rally. I would want to be one of the first out or one of the last .

Wayne, How often do you add the dish soap and softener to the black tank? I have become accustomed to the sensors not working, but will try the remedy. My toilet is directly over the black tank and there is a certain sound that happens when you know that it really is time. Odor has never been a problem however.

Your list includes Michigan. There is a park right on the shore of Lake Huron on the UP. Cedarville,MI. Heard good things about the place on another site. Google will get you the info. Gotta be cool there with the wind coming off of Huron and probably Superior as well. cedarvillervpark.com

We tow a 2012 Forester with a manual 5 speed. I don't think that a manual 6 speed would be a game changer. Good luck. They are very civilized durable automobiles. We started with our first one in the late seventies. Currently have two. I remember a poster not that long ago that wanted to tow a Crosstrek manual. He was told that he needed to leave the ignition in the on position because of a new steering system on that model. He was going to have to install a power source from the coach. Hope you are good to go? Rally going on now. Could take awhile for the answer.

Connecting Direct TV HR24 DVR to Old Distribution Box
obedb replied to haywarm20@gmailcom's topic in Electronics
Rid yourself of the distribution box. Old technology. I trashed mine and do not miss it. You should easily be able to identify the two cables headed to the outside tv and the bedroom tv. The splitter that comes with the Winegard package will send HD to four receivers. If your unit did not come with the splitter, the installer short changed you. Regardless. You need that splitter. Don't settle for an aftermarket unit. Be sure that it is from Winegard. I use solidsignal.com for my purchases but there are a lot of places to buy from. If you don't have one you could even call Winegard. After spending the money for that dish, why settle for standard def. Good luck. Re/. Genie from Direct TV. I have not used one , but I understand the unit transmits to multiple TVs and have heard they work in a motorhome. I use the HD24 receiver in the bedroom and their HD22 DVR up front. We have a cable routed to a lower compartment from Tiffin but two sets are enough for us. -
Mid July. Depends on when you can make it. I no longer rush unless necessary.

Carl/ we could meet in Amarillo for a visit to the Big Texan Steakhouse and then head to the San Luis Valley. I know that there are some jeep trails in the east end in the Sangre de Cristo range and at least two Fourteeners near by. Lake City is loaded with jeep trails as I am sure you know, that way if we bore you head there. We will probably head that way after we overload on the valley anyway. Buy you dinner at Packers or Southern Vittles. Love their gumbo.

Have an acquaintance that is chief mechanic for Spring Garden Township in York County PA.Like Ray, he works on everything. from fire trucks, ambulances, patrol cars, snow plows, all of the way to chain saws and power blowers. In his early fifties. Probably have a nice pension when the time comes.

Hey! It looks classy with the bra. If things don't work out with the removal, your DP still looks fine.
-
Seems like this fits here . A gun is like a parachute. If you need one and don't have it , you probably won't need one again.
-
What about the decal thing hidden behind the bra?

If you make it to Silverton one way or the other, find the Handle Bar Saloon for some sustenance. Our pick every time we go to Silverton.

You know/ I have always liked the smell of a diesel exhaust. One of my failings. I have the current issue of Motorhome magazine here. The Sumo Springs are advertised in color. They have the same cheap looking construction of a different set that I tried on our Georgie Boy II 34 Gasser probably around 1990. Kinda flimsy looking to me IMHO.

Hey! I resemble that remark!!

Joe's installation looks professional. My thought is handing a 280lb refrigerator through a window. Wow! I am heading over to excercise the generator and throw a charge into batteries. While the gen is running, I am going to a nearby RV repair center to ask them about taking the Dometic out. Once the new fridge is in the coach, I think that I will be all right. If I can't handle it, I will call the Lone Ranger (Joe). It will probably be a basic Samsung because that is what Joe installed and a number of other members have also said they work with a MSW inverter/charger. I don't need ice water through the door or an icemaker. Just a freezer large enough to accommodate two ice trays. Yea Carl/ finally heading into the 21st century.

My goal is to leave Stewartstown early July. I forgot about Olathe Sweet Corn. Another advantage to being there in the summer. The City Market in Alamosa is always well stocked. Anybody reading this should look for some if you want the world's best corn. Lake City must offer a lot of good riding. Many RVers show up with their ATVs

Gary, We just talked ourselves into another trip to Colorado. Glacier/ maybe next year. Gonna follow I-81 to I-40 across Tennessee west ro Amarillo. Take a stop at the Big Texan Steakhouse for Rockie Mountain Oysters (delicious 1/2 order/ full order would be too much) split a chicken fried steak order( portions are large there) two beers for me and a Margarita for Betty and be there in time for the band that travels table to table . Met the fiddler last year but too early for the music. Really a neat place. Some back roads out of Amarillo that I have learned over the years on my way to Alamosa with bushel baskets made in Jacksonville Texas for the salad spinach growers much of which was shipped back east. Head to Walsenburg CO west over Laveta Pass and then we are in a really special part of Colorado. When we head west from there we will cross one of my favorite passes Wolf Creek on our way to Durango. Anybody want to tag along?

We love the San Luis Valley. Largest alpine valley in the world. Pleasant days and cool nights in the summer. Great Sand Dunes National Park. Even an Alligator farm, and if still there, the True Grit Steakhouse (John Wayne theme) in Alamosa. Parked across the street at the Loaf and Jug and enjoyed steaks and huge baked potatoes. Might not be on the preferred route of John Harris but the bonus is a pretty ride across the valley and Wolf Creek Pass on the way to Durango. The name really is the Alpen Rose.

Gotta get a residential refrigerator. I have always hated the worry of being off level. Understand the newer fridges are more forgiving, and although I was really careful with our first Dometic , I have grown weary of remembering to ask DW to run back to turn the unit off before anticipated off level situations.
-
Why not put the additives in there, fill maybe half or so, run it all day, and dump when you get where you are going, or run the mix another day, and then dump? Just a thought.

If you are running I-40 exit at Clines Corners, head north on US 285 to well north of Sante Fe on 285 and then join US84 north to Pagosa Springs. Interesting Town. West on US160 to Durango. No mountains at all. The RV park of choice for most is Alpen Rose. An older park so you will be close to your neighbors. Marginal cable. Typical park wifi, but there is a Bay and Pinto in the adjoing pasture that run together and love carrots and apples. Nice large fenced in area for dogs, and a good view of the Durango and Silverton Railroad. Gary is from Rocky Ford Colorado, an RVer and a great source of info. Keep your travels on I-70 to a minimum and you will probably enjoy yourselves more in Colorado. Gary may disagree, but those are my thoughts.

I have run across northern AZ on US160 to Cortez and US 191 north thru Moab to I-70. Also US 491 north from Cortez to US191 and then north. All of those a number of times over the years mostly in 18wheelers and some in our first class a. Sure looks like Cortez would get you in the area you want to be. Mesa Verde is worth a look if you have time. I can be of help to you in Colorado because I have trucked and vacationed in motorhomes there quite a lot. A lot members on this website have also spent time there.

I have photos that I want to attach to my profile gallery and I have tried many times over the months. I can't make it work, and although a trucker I am not stupid when it concerns things computer. I am using an iPad because they handle digital camera to computer easily. Sending photos from the iPad photo albums via email is very simple. Why the trouble to my profile gallery? Help!!
