Chet - Glad you are so enthusiastic about Graphic Converter, but it's far from new. I've been using for more than 10 years and have actually paid the shareware fee twice, once for the old OS 8/9 version and once for the OS X version. I especially like using it for reviewing pictures in the...

Thanks for the suggestion on the switch. I think I have one. Nope, no switch in the Diplomat that I can find. But then there was no manual for the King Dome.

Although I have had satellite TV at home for 8 or 9 years, I have only used satellite TV in our Monaco Diplomat for about a year. We have a King Dome that works fine except for when we are under a tree at which time I would like to use our "external" dish that connects to the RV wiring via a...

Luchy - I would like to suggest that you stay in RV parks rather than in parking lots or rest areas. At the end of a long day behind the wheel or strapped into the passenger seats it is nice to take a shower and use the toilet in an RV park's facility. Even though we now have a 40 foot Monaco...

We have decided we need a windshield cover for all the various reasons. The best looking one I have found for our Monaco Diplomat is the Sunguard High Density Custom Windshield Cover. It is available from http://rvprotectionproducts.com with a 14% discount, no tax and free shipping. The...

I have tried mounting my TomTom Go700 on the windshield of our Monaco Diplomat but have a hard time seeing it that far away. I have had much better success with it mounted on the side window even with the middle of the steering wheel. I am saving up to buy one with a 7 inch screen, possibly  a...

I don't if any of you have visited or lived in the Middle East, but the hose is a normal adjunct to toilets. If water is available, water and the left hand are used rather than toilet paper. Some toilets have a pitcher to hold the water, some have a hose similar to those in RV toilets. One of my...

Back in 2000 we bought a new Winnebago Rialta and took it to the Corpus Christi area for our first outing. It was November so going to that area was the first mistake. The winter Texans had grabbed ALL the spaces everywhere we stopped. At one of the beach areas we were told to just go down by...

I just now had a quick look at the Canadian site and clicked on Class A as that is what we have. I was surprised to see the following: "Smooth and stable ride when the vehicle is properly loaded. Any experienced driver can take the wheel, and no special licence is required (unless the vehicle...

I recently discovered that there is a half inch square spot on the back of the passenger seat in our 6 month old Monaco Diplomat that has almost worn through the vinyl material. After chewing out my wife for reclining back too far and rubbing the back of the seat on the trim of the front...

Thanks Ned. That group looks like what I need. I signed up this evening.

Ned - I'm a staunch conservative and am highly allergic to high taxes, lots of people, and traffic so that would likely not be a good fit. We lived in California in the late 60s and early 70s, and though we really liked it would only want to visit. The Club at Buck Horn Lakes is looking better...

After having two tent trailers back in the 60s and a 17 foot trailer in the 70s, we bought our first motor home, a new Winnebago Rialta in 2000. As reported earlier elsewhere in the forum the Rialta was a disaster and resulted in a drawn out, frustrating three year law suit which we finally won...

I'm impressed by all the responses on this. One thing I forgot to mention is that wife and I have absolutely no interest in shows and have passed through Branson without stopping the 3 or 4 times we have gone through there over the years. We just don't have any interest in that sort of thing...

Last week we attended a rally at the Buck Horn Lakes RV Resort just outside Kerrville with the FMCA San Antonio River City Travelers chapter. It was a beautiful park with all the amenities and we enjoyed it very much. The thing that most intrigued me was their Club at Buck Horn Lakes, a...
