    Single pane windows vs dual pane? Purchasing soon

    Our new coach has frameless windows. Are dual glass windows even possible? The frameless windows have very thick glass.

    Towing Comfort

    I will do as you suggest and try towing with the factory pin box. It shouldn't take long to determine if I have an issue. Thanks, Dave. Bob

    Towing Comfort

    Thanks Dave. Is it severe enough for me to put it on top of things I need to buy?

    iMac OS X and a MS convert (maybe)

    I am a Microsoft fan and have worked there as well. In a recent position at a university, all PC's were iMac's. Macs use the same chips as other PC's nowadays. I used bootcamp and booted straight to Windows. There was never a problem and I never even bothered with the Mac OS side of things. I...

    Towing Comfort

    I have seen a lot of forum comments (not necessarily on this forum) about "chucking", "bucking", and other uncomfortable motions in the towing vehicle pulling a fifth wheel. I am posting here because I suspect that different brands respond differently to towing. My new 3160 is sitting at the...

    Hidden Satellite Receivers and your remote. A $50 solution

    Interesting indeed. The DirecTV site claims that only the Genie is RF. I will go look at my receivers to see if there is RF available. I already have the IR repeater from my old trailer, but it would be nice to avoid another bit of hardware to install. How did you find the RF option? Did you...

    Rally Question

    Thanks for the good words, Rod. We plan to arrive on Friday. I am not sure when we can leave but it is 4 1/2 hours to the CG. We will be departing on Monday morning. We are very excited about attending and look forward to making new friends.

    Hidden Satellite Receivers and your remote. A $50 solution

    There are two of us and we had the same setup with a Tailgater that you have. Now we are going to use 2 of our home DVR's in the new camper.

    So you can only view the same program in both rooms?

    Rally Question

    Re: Rally Quetion We don't have enough vacation to do that. We really like the Oregon rally location. About an hour's drive away is a reef with the largest population of pinipeds (seals, sea lions, etc.) on the West coast. There is also a little private zoo where you can pet a tiger cub. Lots...

    Hidden Satellite Receivers and your remote. A $50 solution

    Those are very new DVR's. According to DirecTV, only the Genie and it's satellites are RF equipped. The rest are like mine, IR

    Hidden Satellite Receivers and your remote. A $50 solution

    Sorry, no. That's not what we mean. You need a separate receiver for each TV for either DirecTV or Dish. We were discussing hiding the receiver in a place where your remote (if it isn't RF) won't work and fixing that problem with an IR repeater.

    Our receivers are all IR with no RF option.

    Rally Question

    Re: Rally Quetion Hi Rod, We just reserved for the Washington Rally. We have stayed at Mill Casino (last year) and loved it. We are returning again in August. Bob

    Gary521 - we have DirecTv and they only have the wireless receivers in testing with no dates when it will be released to us users. Already checked. Once released what a huge difference it will be. The IR repeater is so inexpensive and reliable, there is really no reason for a RF solution.

    Rally Question

    We got a kind invitation to the Washington/Oregon rallies. They sound like fun. Do these rallies take place where there are full hookups? Our camper is not set up for boondocking. We have no generator or gen prep and all of our "camping" (hard to call it that) has been where we had power, water...

    Can't get SAT signal in new Big Country

    If you can't go with HDMI, then you need to confirm a few things: Are you trying to connect with a single RCA plug (yellow) for video and then red and white for audio? If you are, then you need to go online to the set manufacturer's forum or check the manual to find out where the composite...

    Transfer Switch Failure

    I know it's hard to do, but switching with a load on invites arcing in the contactor. The higher the load, the more likely there will be arcing. When the current draw is low or off, the stress on the contactor is much lower. When the power fails, by definition there is no load when the contactor...

    What does the "Elite" designation mean

    Thanks for the information. As soon as the slide toppers are put on, we will be taking it home. ETA is Saturday. The 7 ft slide height makes life a lot better for me. I am 6'2". We look forward to much happy travel with the new coach.
