IMO, it is possible that the manufacturer did not attach the roof that great, (typical for RV, perhaps as compared to auto or truck standards) , however, his insurance company easily decided to accept his premium payment to insure his motorhome and the roof blew off; they have to pay to fix it...

That's wind damage.  The insurance company took your money, now it's time for them to pay up. Send emails to the Division of Insurance in your state and in Good Sam Ins home state and also the BBB in both states. This worked for me when the insurance company was just stone walling me for a...

Thanks Tom, Larry and John, I guess I'll just learn to get used to it.  I have 3 different inverters I can plug into, a 200W, 300W and a 1500 Watt.  I'm using the 200 watt now because it uses only about .28 amps with no load, I was a little impressed that it could do it.  Does any one have an...

Is my Tailgater/211K/XHD working right? I finally got a hard drive that seems to work with my TG & 211K that does'nt make me reformat it every time the electricity goes off and back on. I tried it and formatted it the first time on shore power. Turned off electricity and later turned the juice...

I ordered the 1TBfrom Wester Digital , it said it was specifically for Dish customers http://store.westerndigital.com/store/wdus/en_US/pd/ThemeID.21986300/productID.229331100/parid.13092300/catid.59262300/categoryID.59262600.  I hope it works when I get it. I know this sounds strange, but when...

I have the Tailgater, 211K and a Western Digital self powered 2 TB hard drive.  It seemed to work fine, recorded, played, fast forwarded and rewound.  All is well;  not. Every time I turn it off and disconnect all 120 volt power , when I turn it on, after the 211K and Tailgater do their...

  I think alot of people just like to bash Thor. It makes them feel that their rig is better especially since they paid more for theirs. I've had my Damon for almost 9 years and I only wish the chassis was as trouble free as the house part that Thor or Damon built.  I had a Winnebago before...

Nice!  Are those recliners? If so, do they have to be pulled away from the wall in order to recline? I have 2 couches, a jack knife and a hide a bed neither is very comfortable.  I would love to have a recliner or 2 , if like yours. Did you have much of a problem getting it inside?  My entry...

IMO, the rear track bar is the most effective handling upgrade you can make. On a gas rig you may have 12' or more overhang behind the rear tires. That's way more leverage blowing you around in the back compared to the few feet of overhang you have in the front. I'd say the rear track bar gives...

I have the same MH, '05 Daybreak Workhorse.  There 5 screws, I believe, The carpet goes over the edge of the doghouse and the screws are buried in the carpet. Tap around with a phillips screwdriver, ice pick, maybe a a magnet may help.  Once you take it off, you will never get the screws back in...

If you just bought the 211Z new, you may be able to return/ exchange it for the 211K. The 211Z is the newer, slimmer streamlined model but it leaves out a lot of connections, including not being able to get OTA channels without buying something else. I don't know how to post pics here but...

Where is the aluminum corrosion? Are you talking about where that duct tape is?

I have a 7 year old 32" Vizio, still works perfect.  I also have a 42" Vizio LED , 15 months old. It died. Local TV repair wanted $350 for a new powerboard. I picked it up, went on EBAY , found an exact powerboard, advertised for an Emerson.  I paid $80 + $20 shipping straight from China. Works...

I'm also thinking about getting the tailgater.  I have Dish at home now but I have the Hopper receiver which does'nt work with the Tailgater.  I'll need to get a 211 also and don't know if Dish will charge me extra for using my own receiver. Does any one know about this? Also , I read a (FYI or...

That sounds too hot for normal.  If you can get a Scan Gauge  hooked up , that may verify if you're gauge is accurate.  Maybe an infrared thermometer could also help.
