    Direct TV - dealing with CSR each time I change locations

    Go on their website, go on your account and then access the "Chat" to talk to a rep.  Give them your new address, I just use the address at the CG we are at, they change it immediately.  No questions.  Done it a hundred times, no issue.  When we move 200 miles from that CG, just do it again.  If...

    Motorhome Tire Covers

    I have a set of the silver ones that look like diamond plate.  They do keep the wheels/tires clean and where I am parked for the summer the heat/sun is devastating to almost everything.  Plus, if they aren't worth anything, how come people keep stealing them?  I think I must own about 10% of the...

    Dish vs: Directv from a Driectv guy.

    I have the DVR main receiver and two wireless genies.  Direct tech came out and installed everything in the MH.  Each TV can watch a different program at the same time or something stored on the DVR.  I have no issues with their customer service.  I even suspend the account whenever we are at...

    Reflectix and Rmax

    Amazon sells this so as a result has many reviews by people who have bought it for RV use.  They all seem to be very positive with noticeable results in that application.

    Satellite tv

    Had Direct at our home prior to buying the Coach.  Direct sent a tech out to move everything from the house to the RV (receiver, two genie boxes for the other tvs, etc.).  He set up the coach, programmed new remotes, had everything working before he left....No charge for the move.  Yes the...

    Smoke and Fire After Plugging In

    However, it was a "manly" cry, so it's all good.  BTW, thank you for taking the time to post this, it opened my eyes to a potential issue, I was unaware of.

    Shopping for a CB

    I drove 18 wheels for over 40 years before I retired last year.  Owned my fair share of CBs, Cobras, Midland etc.  Best I ever had was a President Mckinley SSB.  They are not the cheapest but in my opinion, the best out there and are still available.  Here is a link as an example, I am certain...

    Ditching my RVs Electric steps.

    Our 3yr. old grandson, delights in toggling every switch he can reach, including the one to kill the step power.  I just pull that fuse when we park, put it back in before leaving.

    Maiden Voyage Some What Costly

    Well, our maiden voyage I set the brakes on fire in the toad (didn't pay close attention during the 'how to set up the brake system' lecture and did it wrong), only good part was there was a Ford dealer not far from the campground we were going to.  Yep, that was a $1500 little yuk-fest.  On the...

    Resetting ?change eng oil? reminder in 8.1 Vortec

    Instructions for resetting that should be in your owners manual.  If you don't have access to one, it can be found online.  I believe this is the link:  https://cdn.dealereprocess.net/cdn/servicemanuals/chevrolet/2005-silverado1500.pdf

    Brand new, in the research stage, how small is too small?

    Very good answers already on here.  I can only add one bit of advice.  Happy wife=happy life.  Unhappy wife=Unhappy life.  Unhappy wife long enough=Unhappy life with only half of your stuff left.

    US 93

    There are some pretty good climbs/descents between Salt Lake City and Vegas.  5 or 6 in Utah, The Virgin River Gorge in the Arizona strip between St. George and Mesquite, and then several again in Nevada into Vegas.  The Virgin River Gorge is quite intimidating and not for the faint of heart...

    If fulltiming what to buy?

    Laura and Charles pretty much hit the high points.  I will only add, that my wife has a bladder issue, she has to use the facilities about every hour or so.  In our Class A, I don't have to stop and find one, don't even have to pull over or even, slow down, she just goes back and uses it.  I...
