    Wifi

    Hi Kathi-27. I'm not real smart on such things and Dan Mayer is very good. With that, I need something that works very simply. So here's my suggestion... I have used Sprint, AT&T and now using Verizon. Sprint and AT&T do not cover the US as well, in my opinion, as Verizon. Go to Verizon and...

    Mor/Ryde Rubber Spring replacement.

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: WI, Wisconsin Dells - 8/10/2017 to 8/13/2017

    I was having repair done to my Bedroom slide which included some fiber glass repair causing the outside to look splotchie (SP)... I mentioned to the repair persons that I would need to find someone to paint the trailer. They piped up and said they could and gave me a quote I could afford, but I...

    What's Up With My Tires???

    No. If you have an auto leveling on the trailer, then raise the trailer up with the leveling jacks. It is ok to raise the trailer high enough to lift the tires off the ground, if you have one. Otherwise I would hook up to the truck and put the Jack behind the trailer wheels on the frame and...

    What's Up With My Tires???

    I got tired of worrying about tires blowing out so I went to Discount Tire and ordered 5 - 17.5" Rims and G114 tires. Everything seems to be running great and no problems. I had heard that Jim B. had a 17.5" tire blow out on his Landmark. Not sure about that... BC

    New owners

    This forum is the best means of information you can get. Read as much as you can. First thing I would do if I were you is check out your tires. Make sure they are inflated to 80psi. That should be what is marked on the sidewall as max pressure. Check to see the brand of tires you have and...

    What's Up With My Tires???

    All the mfgr's do the same. Put on as cheap as they can get away with and let the customer replace them with better tires. All they want is for them to get you out the door and home for a month maybe. Don't jack your trailer up using the axles. Get a good bottle jack and some wood blocks and...

    Bikes?

    In 2010 I installed a bike rack on the pin box of my Bighorn. I have a long bed which gives me plenty of room to turn and not hit the back of the cab. The original design was given to the forum some time ago so I am not the originator. I hope this helps.. BC

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: WI, Wisconsin Dells - 8/10/2017 to 8/13/2017

    Not trying to cause a problem but I was wondering. When I went to try and find the park Country Roads Motorhome and RV Park on the maps in Wisconsin Dells it would not come up. But I searched for the park name and it came up with Lake Delton, WI and on their reservation form it says Lake Delton...

    B & W 18k Patriot hitch settings

    That is a great 5th wheel. Only thing I found is that you need to watch the U-Bolts. I had them on my 2006 F-250 and when I went to remove the hitch the U-Bolt threads stripped... I ended up using 8 grade bolts and strap iron. The U-Bolts are special made for B&W.. Can't find them in the open...

    B & W 18k Patriot hitch settings

    I have a 18k B&W Companion Turnover ball hitch on my 2006 F-250. I had no problems with that hitch. I set it at the middle point then I could adjust it either up or down as needed. Actually it is pretty easy to adjust but you need a small box wrench to hold the nuts on the inside of the frame...

    Question about Sat connections on new 5th wheels and DTV receiver connections...

    Thanks for the info. I was thinking about updating my DTV and getting a new receiver. I also was thinking about the new trailers having only one satellite connection. Can you record programs and if so how many at one time. On mine I can record two programs if I am watching one I previously...

    Question about Sat connections on new 5th wheels and DTV receiver connections...

    I have a R22-100 receiver in my 2008 3400RE. I'm not referring to anything about the roof mounted antennas. I use the SD on a tripod. I also don't use the cubes or such to connect to the satellite. At this time I only use the SD service but may be interested in going to HD if I can handle the...

    ATF: Bighorn - high point microwave

    I have had a High Point for a number of years. It has been working great. Better than any I had before. I find if you are using the Convection oven you need to let it cool for a while before you use the microwave. It will shut down due to excessive heat. BC

    Dean. When you go to Bar Harbor ME check out the Timberland Acres RV Park. It's a good park for a good price. Most of the others are not as good and/or way over priced.. Here also is where to go get lobster. They only charge you one fee for cooking the lobster no matter how many you order...

    Distant Network Services (DNS)

    I'm not sure if I am current with the FCC rules. However I agree with Dan. I have had DirecTV since 1996. I transferred it to my RV in 2007 and included DNS for both the East and West coast.. They started to remove my East DNS and I called them I was paying for both the East and West services...

    Autoformer's??

    I purchased a Hughes Autoformer RV220-50 Amp from Tweetys.com. Works very well for me. The power at the campground I stay at in Melissa TX has a problem with the voltage dropping below 109V and my Progressive EMS will drop out numerous times a day. Works great with the transformer... I would...
