I went to the Escapees website and found that if tax was not paid on the vehicles when they were purchased sales tax must be paid in Texas, if I understand it correctly.  That would give me a whopping bill.  I paid $50 for my truck in 08 and $70k for my trailer.  That's  $7500 just in sales...

Thanks for the replies folks!  I wasn't intending on discussing the vehicle registration in this thread, I was mostly asking what section I should post the question in.  But since I see this thread was already moved, I'll post additional information here. Here is the situation so far: I've...

A few of you old timers might remember me, I was in the forum back when we were on CompuServe and followed it here, but I've lost touch lately.  I'm a Daddy now.  Got two kids, one is 7 and in the 2nd Grade and already talking about getting into MIT.  The baby is 3 years old and a lot of fun. ...

That is unless you are in the boonies.  I'm working a 10 hour shift on a mountain top that doesn't even have cellular coverage, 30 mile round trip from the RV park to the jobsite, and the last 6 miles is gravel.  Then when I get home, it is another 30 miles one way to the nearest store, Best Buy...

I thought Bob and Sam were both guy's names.  That's all.  It's easy to be confused in this strange new world.  Sorry. Edit: Fixed quote.

Here's the latest. I went to Best Buy, AT&T twice and Camping World. I returned the OTA antenna at Best Buy and the tripod at camping world.  They sell mostly Dish, but didn't have a Dish antenna, well not a  dish Dish, only the portably carry out that only handles two TVs. AT&T sold me...

Is the wife Bob or Sam?  I'm confused.

My OTA antenna has never worked.  I took delivery of my trailer in January 2016, I have tried many times to make it work with no luck.  The RV park we are in now has an OTA antenna on a 50' tower but only connected to six sites.  I was in one of those for a month, but they kicked me out for...

What is DW and SWMBO? 

That's not the way my RV is wired.  A receiver goes between the wall outlet and the TV in each location.  Each TV can be on different channels.  I have two hookups, one for Park Cable, and one for Satellite.  I really don't think I need an additional splitter.  If I do, I'm sunk because I'm not...

I have no idea what OTA is.  But I have two hookups, one for park cable and one for satellite. It's a 2016 RV pre-wired for satellite. I have no capability of routing new cables to the TVs.  If I have to do that, I'm sunk.  I would have to rip the RV apart, and I can't even get access to the...

The splitter is built into the RV.  I have a 5th wheel that is wired for three TVs directly from the manufacturer.

Now I'm really confused.  What is DNS?  Websites use DNS servers to resolve the domain name with the IP address, right?  "2. For a RV they will sell you a distant network plan at a cost per station you have to certify the antenna is permanently mounted to the rv." Is that what you are talking...

"2. For a RV they will sell you a distant network plan at a cost per station you have to certify the antenna is permanently mounted to the rv." Every park I stay in I see people with DirecTV mounted on a tripod, or on one of those portable dome like antennas sitting on the ground.  My next door...
