    MIleage vs Age?

    I don't waffle about going to a pro or very experienced owner-buyer for a pre-acceptance inspection to remove the grossly obvious speed bumps to an experienced eye. A friend of mine, never had an RV, was about to buy a used MH Diesel. He asked me to assist with the preacceptance inspection...

    MIleage vs Age?

    Check your quotes. In person examination needs to be with -from a pro. First time buyers are usually not even close to knowledge of RV used condition. Let's not let buyers go it alone. Stay far away from rentals.

    Dish Network Satellie (Winegard)

    Lets not get personal here. Read the rules. Are you related..?  Sorry. I apologize. I give honest, experienced, researched reviews...tell it like it is..call a tulip a weed..not necessarily what you want me to tip toe about with readers. I notice you don't have a dish that functions...

    Yes, the shakey elevation gear assembly was designed by Klutz. So intermittent signals.. Sleepy Joe designed the little green controller box brain that fails repeatedly due to fluctuating coach 12V current. Green controller boxes no longer available. Sleepy Joe went back to sleep. This model...

    Yes, the MV3500A is junk. I had that one....I believe Winegarg no longer supports it.. Moto Sat Executive (see my link) is about the same price with far better performance and reliability.

    Dish Network Satellie (Winegard)

    Please, let's not get political here... First..I had no initial choice with a factory order from Winne. Then, they say.."not our problem ..call Winegard". Then, I went to a Winne GNR and saw the Winegard fleet service goat rope in golf carts..just about got run over in that rat race. Folks...

    No service problems with Moto Sat. Oh yes..the domes..I found them to be dummy domes..carry a spray can of this and that for rain..for snow..for sun..for wind, for sun tan..and one of anticeptic when you fall off the coach roof spraying it..

    http://www.motosat.com/index.php/tvante/71.html Attend Winnebago GNR. Note the fleet of Winegard Service golf carts scurrying from coach to coach..fixing existing rigs and replacing many that don't work. Moto Sat service not needed. I research my product buys extensively. It was Moto Sat for me.

    Is a 720i high def tv okay for a travel trailer with tv hook-up and no cable?

    If you have a laptop with Wi-FI, go to Tvfools.com. Your will find available channels in your area and the compass direction to initially point the antenna. By a cheap camping compass at Walmart.

    fans over dash

    I found them to be very usefull...even in summer when running the dash air cooling. I have the fans pointed outward to the sides. Turn them on..the dash air circulates better all around the driver and passenger area. It's all about air movement..dash air moves the cool air and fans boost cool...

    Dish Network Satellie (Winegard)

    I had a Winegard (WARNING) with Direct TV. Found it to be goat rope constructed and baffoon designed. Slaughtered it! >:( Switched to Moto Sat with Direct TV. Came with the dish. All 1500 dollars. Intelligent design. Outstanding reliability. Works perfect. I'm happy as a clam! :)

    HWH Jack System Parts

    Refer to Post #9. This magnet dip stick continues to serve its intent. This weekend I checked it after 1 year of jack/slide use. Again, it was covered with metal micro FOD. I wiped all off the magnet and reinstalled. After two years since I flushed the system tank and installed the new...

    HWH Jack System Parts

    The leak returned around one of the 5/8 inch bronze hex heads. :( Called HWH for fix of the leak. Tech said each of the four hex head bolts has a thin hard rubber "O" ring at the base of the bolt head to seal the bolt when tightened and chances were 100 % the "O" rings were deteriorated and...

Resealed camera wire entry points to side of coach, placed the small dessicant bag inside the cover..(tape to camera or to the inside the cover), resealed any visable joint seals on the camera and to the rear of the lense. Resealed the entire outer circumferance of the...
