On a scale of 1 to 10, how HAPPY are you? You don't sound happy. Look at you... wandering around an internet forum correcting people's spelling and making disgruntled comments. How about some positive feedback? People might like you a little better. Are you a HAM operator?

There are no requirements to obtain a GMRS license other than paying the fee. That's it. No studying. No tests. No having to track down a HAM club to take a test or dealing with a bunch of arrogance that we all know exists. Once the GMRS application has been approved and call sign given out then...

The FCC announced month's ago that the GMRS license fee will be $35 for a ten year period however it has yet to be reflected through their ordering system. The current rate is $70 for a ten year period. Rumor has it that it will not be until after the new year into 2022 before the cost...

I just recently received my GMRS license and decided to pop over here to see if anyone in the RV community was using the medium. Yes the thread is over 4 years old and it's refreshing to see that some of you have adopted the medium early on. I honestly didn't know anything about GMRS until about...

Thank you sir! That was very helpful.

Yes

Thanks Rene. Yeah, I was figuring some replacement parts were going to be needed so I'll see about the repair first before I go any further.

I have a Dometic 8273000.401B manual awning and for the life of me cannot figure out how to operate the thing. I have searched the Dometic site for operation instructions but have come up empty. They do however have an installation guide which does not address operation. Here is a link to a...

Listen, I'm not here to start arguments or create enemies, but when someone takes my comments totally out of context and then insinuates that I don't know what I'm doing, then I take exception. I'm not sure why you're apologizing for that person but that's fine, I get what you're saying. For the...

Wow! Are you this rude to everyone else that asks a question? I don't remember saying ANYTHING about extra circuit breakers nor did I inquire about the electrical feed to the outlet. And just so you don't go through the rest of your day absolutely clueless, the "parts gathering" that I mentioned...

Thanks everyone. As far as the Electrician thing is concerned, I'm an old sparky myself so I understand the hookup. My experience has been with residential / commercial / industrial but the RV thing is quite new to me. I'm almost 300 miles away from the RV at the moment so I'm in parts gathering...

I didn't think it would be a common item but sure enough they have stock at my local Home Depot. Thanks for the suggestion. I have to pick up some other supplies so that works out great.

Can someone confirm the receptacle type I need to hookup the RV to a main power source. The owner's manual is useless. The cord on the RV kind of looks like a dryer cord. I was told by the seller that it is a "standard" RV type plug. My internet sleuthing comes up with a TT-30R type receptacle...

This!!! ^^^^^^

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! 😀 John, We got at least a half a dozen towns, and then some, that can be confused with other states. Concord, Lexington, Greenville to name a few. By central NC I'm referring to the Piedmont region. Other's refer to it at the Triad; Greensboro, High Point &...
