The Wingman attaches to the bottom of the Winegard antenna, so you do not need to replace anything if you have a Winegard--just purchase the Wingman. The new antenna, with the batwing built-in, may work a little better since there is a better connection between the two antennas but I haven't...

With a little practice it is not too hard to set up the Directv antenna. We have a HD DVR, and I make sure that the antenna mast is perfectly plumb, then set my azimuth and elevation so it is close, set the skew, and tune to satellite 101 for the strength. After that it is just fine tuning for...

Re: 2011 F350 Truck bed too high for a 5ver I would think you would be a little nose high with your setup. My truck sides are lower than yours even if you didn't have a lift, and mine was nose high. Have you checked to see if you spring hangers have adjusting holes? Mine did, so I just dropped...

I really like Cabelas, and shop there when I travel and happen to find one. Unfortunately, they have no retail stores in the whole SE. We spent the day (and a lot of money) at the new Hamburg, PA store in May. Can the F&F discount be used with an online order?

I agree that it is best to have the tires and wheels balanced. Even a minor out of balance tire has to vibrate, and that has to affect many components of the trailer. I had my original Trail America tires and my replacement Goodyears balanced and the shop said"we never balance trailer tires". I...

The store in Hamburg is really nice. We stopped and spent most of a day there in May. I do wish that Cabela's would open some stores in the SE though! I do order out of their catalogs and online, but it's nice to see and touch some merchandise before buying.

I'm interested in following this thread too. I'm covered through my wife's policy currently, but will be using Tricare standard starting next month as my secondary. I have 2 1/2 years to go for Tricare For Life kicks in. Currently my only use of Tricare is for prescriptions. Who knows what will...

When we ordered our Landmark we opted for the oversize brakes on our 7000 lb axles. When Lippert/Dexter/Heartland changed out our axles and replaced them with the 8000 lb axles, I made sure that the oversize brakes were included. They really stop a heavy fiver.

Rog, sounds like the right diagnosis. My neighbor has an 05 GMC dually and his did the same thing a few weeks ago. The shop replaced it and no problem now.

Are you asking about removing the factory applied caulk as it deteriorates? If so, a plastic putty knife helps. Some of mine is solvent based, so it can be cleaned up good with a little mineral spirits after the scraping. The rest was silicone, and scraping is the only thing that I know of. I...

I'm not sure why synthetic hasn't been around long enough to be proven--I've been using Amsoil in everything for 34 years, never had a problem with seals, and 34 years is a long time. Many expensive high performance engines and transmissions come with synthetic in them from the factory.

Re: Required reading We travel at 60-65 on limited access roads, depending on traffic and conditions, then a bit below the speed limit otherwise. I do make sure I don't back up traffic behind me, but these don't stop on a dime so I try to give myself a little extra margin.

We have stacked units and really enjoy having them. Very easy to do a load while doing other chores or cooking, and not hving to go out in the heat, cold or rain to do a load of laundry nice.

I LOVE -- and use my airhorns!
