Interesting... we're wondering the same thing (dish vs. direct) and it seems everybody likes Direct better. Seems that Dish has better choices for packages, though. We could care less for sports (especially 30 channels worth!), shopping channels or spanish language channels. Why can we pick the channels we want and then go with them? If no one picks a particulaqr channel or group of chanels... well, Darwin was right! I kind of resent the satellite folks strong arm tactics... makes me want to stick with Blockbuster or Netflicks...

We decided some time ago to sell our truck & Airstream and get a motor home. After a looong time and much research, we settled on Bluebirds and Foretravels. We finally bought a Foretravel U320, 40' this month. Foretravel has got an outstanding reputation, drive very well and are extremely well built and for us, more affordable than Prevost or Newell. We did look for a used Newell, which are also outstanding but could never find one in our price range or close enough to us to check out (same thing with B-birds). What finally sold us on the Foretravel was that the factory is here in Texas (Nacogdoches), so for annual maintenance, repairs, etc., they're not far away. The folks at Motorhomes of Texas and Xtreme Graphics (we're getting some bodywork & painting done) have been as helpful and friendly as anyone could be. These folks will definitely be getting our repeat business. Good luck in your search.

Bill Jackson US Navy 1973 to 1976 PN3 NAS Corpus Christi Had originally joined the Air Force under the delayed enlistment program but woke up one night after hearing a voice (some say it was the Almighty, but I'm not sayin'), reminding me that a sailor's got a girl in every port. Well, that was enough for this young buck to march right over to the Navy recruiter the next morning, confess my sins about joining the Air Force and pleaded with him to show me the way. I told him how I could barely hold my head up as a wing-nut... and how much I wanted to become a sailor, be a part of the real military... Next thing I knew, I was in the Navy now...ended up in CorpC, Tx for my enlistment and never really got to check out the 'girl in every port' thing...
