Ditto for me! Two years and not an issue at all

I did the Wingard Traveler install myself and the install only took me a few hours. I had problems finding the factory installed coax so opted to cable the dish and controller using the winegard provided cables. The wiring into the coach was exactly as Danemayer's drawing depicted, so I used...

I've added a back splash to both the kitchen and the bathroom. For the kitchen I used those metal ceiling tiles from Lowes and for the bathroom I used some 1 inch tiles from Lowes as well. For the kitchen installation I used a peel and stick adhesive made specially for that product and after a...

We've been traveling for years but always traveled by car and stayed in motels, or if the places we visited were nice, we stayed in our tents. We were always looking at those nice RVs and thought seriously about one for several years, but just never talked ourselves into taking the leap. After...

I totally agree with you J&B. I've been pulling with my 2004 Ford350 DRW and have only recently had any issues. Within the last 2 months I've had to replace the alternator and a transmission temperature sensor. An outlay of less than $1000 for repairs over a 10 year period is totally acceptable...

There must be something about this time of the year! Ginger and I returned to our farm after the Florida rally and put our farm up for sale. It sold in two days and we then had two weeks to sell or give everything away before we hit the road. Perfect timing, as it turned out. We left Florida...

Re: ATF: Landmark - winegard satellite install. I had the same problem with my 2013 Landmark. I toned out the cable but found it was almost under the fron AC. Not wanting to screw up the interior ceiling or dig a big hole in the roof, I installed my own cable from the roof down into the...

I to have a 2004 F350 DRW, and I use it to pull our Landmark. When I first hooked up the 5ver I found that my truck dropped a couple of inches but handled well on the road and the rear springs seemed to be adequately handling the load. However, I was concerned with the front end being a little...

You may also want to check any marine dealers near you. Those vents are used for venting batteries as well as for air circulation into inboard engine configurations.

I have the B & W Companion as well and love the hitch. I have never had any issues with it and love the fact that I can have it out of the truck in about 5 minutes. I pull a lot of gooseneck livestock trailers with my truck when not pulling on the RV so being able to quickly and easily remove...

I'm sure we will see you all again at another rally, probably Urbanna.

Regrettably, Glenn & Ginger Martin will not be able to attend the rally at Gulf Shores. We have been looking forward to attending but as stated in my original post we are trying to sell our farm so we can go full-time. Although we would love to attend, we have decided it makes more sense to work...

Although I have never tried it something like this may work for you. It seems like the $ 15 investment isn't too much for an experiment. http://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/dimmers/filter/Volts_Typical,12,100,3898: I'm interested to see if this works.

Our Landmark has pendant lighting and we have not had an issue with it at all. As you mentioned, there is a medallion, its about 4 foot long and 2 foot wide, suspended from the ceiling and it has two pendants suspended from it. Everything is done in metal so there is absolutely no movement when...

We use the Rand McNally 7225 and it works pretty well. It has never led us down a road into a trouble spot. It allows you to program in your RV height, and other details and will warn of low obstructions, narrow roads or bridges, propane restrictions, etc. I especially like being able to log...

The GlenStMary crew had a wonderful time! I'm not sure if you planned it that way, but the flea market across the street and the Mt Dora Arts & Crafts show on the weekend allowed us to experience some of the local color from the Eustis area. It was really great meeting new folks and getting...

#1 I hate people that drive by my driveway and feel the need to unload the trash from their vehicles instead of tossing it into their own trash cans. #2 I hate those people that drop off their unwanted pets on my property (especially those failed, fighting, pit bulls) #3 I second the...

I'm in Fl as well. We used to live at the beach so I am used to corrosion and rust. We moved from the beach, inland, to a farming environment and rust and corrosion is a way of life out here as well. All of my farm equipment looks almost as good as the day I purchased it because I usually...

If you have the factory provided TPMS from Valor, call the Valor customer service department and ask them to send you a cable extension. I had the same problem and they sent me an expedited cable extension which allowed me to mount the antenna on the underside of my rear hitch. Works like a...

I pull mine with a 350, 4 x 4 Super Cab, long bed, dually that has air bags and a B & W Companion for the factory pin box on the 5ver. It has always surprised me as to how smooth that RV rides behind that truck.

I totally agree with your response. In this day and age, no place is immune to violence anymore, including ones own home. You only need to read the papers to see the facts. And now, with the economy in shambles and cities and towns scraping by on less and less money, things don't look to be...

I've used both, the B & W turnover ball for my gooseneck cattle trailers (which weigh as much if not more than our Landmark when loaded with cattle) and the Companion when pulling our RV. In my experience, there is no difference in handling, ride, or mileage between either setup. The only...

This is a good one! I just couldn't resist sending this on to several friends. Thanks

I purchased a power HDMI cable 40' long from Monoprice.com to get signal to my outside TV. You may need to look into one of these Redmere cables.

I put our sat receiver on the dresser and it has not moved 1/2 an inch in our travels. I bound the power cable with that small flex conduit and left only enough to reach up to the ceiling outlet. I also made up a short coax just long enough to go from the back of the receiver to the coax outlet...

You need to talk with the service manager to find out how they intend to locate the sat cable that is pre-wired. When I asked our local CW service guy about that very thing he said they would pull down the ceiling inside the coach until they found it. I did not want to take a chance with that...

Not because they can...because many people pay it! The last time I bought a truck I asked the dealer to list the price of every option that was on that truck. He did, and when he gave that list to me I told him I would buy the truck for our agreed upon price less the cost of the extras I thought...

I mounted the multiswitch down in the basement on the ceiling, right behind the UDC wall. That way I only had to make up a foot long cable from the incoming cable adapter in the UDC to the switch. From there I ran new quad coax to the tv in the bedroom but used existing coax to the living room...

I rely on the switchover technique and have had no problems. When the regulator switches over to the new tank I simply pay closer attention to the weather (how long it has been cold), how much we use gas to cook, consider the number of days since the switch over occurred, then fill the empty...

Rock Tamers here. They work pretty well, but you need to adjust them carefully if you have backup sensors mounted in your bumper as I do

Perhaps I can help with some of your questions. 1. I talked with several people who found their cables in the roof where others said they would be. I also found in the HUG some diagrams that said the cables would be coiled in the roof in the center of my bedroom. However, I decided before I...

Our RV purchase experience seems to be exactly what you are experiencing now. We wanted to retire and travel extensively for several years. My wife is looking forward to traveling all through Canada and Alaska especially, as well as every other state in this country. We spent over a year...

Yes. I agree. I am continuously bending over to pick up stuff on that floor and it turns out to be one of those little white marks in the flooring design. I guess I shouldn't really complain, it is after all, some bending and strectching exercise!

Here is a couple of photos of the kitchen backsplash and bath backsplash I did in our Key Largo. I have since added four led down lights to the underside of the cabinet to provide some enhancement to the tile work and bring out the metallic streaks in the tiles.

Congratulations on your decision to order a new Key Largo!!! I'm sure you will love that unit. We have been in ours for about 10 months and have not found a single thing we regret about our purchase except that we didn't do it sooner. I have a suggestion about how to make the wait seem to go by...

I second the induction cooktop. We currently use a True induction counter top model with 2 units. They make a model designed to drop into the counter top and it is only about 1/2" wider than the standard stove. We'd also like to see a real backsplash.

Enjoy! We had about 5 minutes of rain this afternoon. Just enough to keep the grass growing and knock down some of the pollen in the air. I noticed this afternoon that my apples and peaches are all blooming. That's not good. The same thing happened last year and we had a bad freeze on Easter...

We are enjoying winter as well, although I believe we are enjoying it a "bit" more. If you look at the Farmer's Almanac they said it would be a hard winter. I don't know how they do it, but I have found they are "right on the money" with their prognostications more than 85% of the time. I've...

We have a 2013 Key Largo which we bought last May. So far, we have had no problems with the cabinetry. The only thing we've had to do with any doors or drawers is add a small rubber bumper to the cabinet door close to the fridge to keep from scuffing the finish when opening the door too wide and...

Enjoy your time in Fl. We enjoyed a sunny, 80 degree day yesterday and expect it will continue for awhile. We seldom go north past the Fl - Ga line in the winter months just because of what you wrote about. Glad you made it all in one piece. Again, enjoy our sunshine, warmth, and friendly folks
