True enough, I just canceled a 7 day trip to Texoma, triple digits mean spending afternoons and evenings inside and I can do that at home. We're due to set a record here in N. Texas today. So all we can do is wait it out.In Texas, as hot as it is, it’s all about 50 amp service! Lol
You're absolutely right. I saw a guy with a 30' sportfisher put it up on his trailer perfectly the other day. Reached over the bow, cranked a couple of times, and he was off. Sweet!The other side of that coin...
We were at a campground in TX a couple years back. Can't remember if it was State or COE but in any event there was some kind of boating "event" as the boat parking area was packed with pickups and trailers.
Later that afternoon they all started to return to the loading ramp. A few dozen trolling around waiting their turn as the boat owners backed the trailers in. Obviously no newbies in that crowd as it was pretty impressive to watch as they drove up, turned around, and backed in swiftly without ever having to do the back/forth realign thing. Boat pulled up on the trailer and bang-- they were out of the water. Almost like they've done that before...![]()
Not like this I assume:You're absolutely right. I saw a guy with a 30' sportfisher put it up on his trailer perfectly the other day. Reached over the bow, cranked a couple of times, and he was off. Sweet!
I've been on some pretty heavily treed sites, but I've always managed to get sat signals with my portable dish. I've run out up to 200 feet of coax at times, but the photo below only needed 150 feet. Of course I prefer level sites as well.To get back to the original topic, one thing I appreciate is a combination of wooded and open sites. I prefer an open site so i can get satellite TV. While some commercial campgrounds do have cable service, it is very seldom as good as my satellite service, and it likely will not have a few of my favorite channels.
I can say the same thing even though at some sites I've had to, like yourself, go to "extremes" to hit one of the Dish arcs.I've been on some pretty heavily treed sites, but I've always managed to get sat signals with my portable dish.
