Took it on its first trip. A weekend at Seven Feathers.... I have no idea why the photo came in upside down. Could a moderator fix that for me please?
Beautiful, nice looking rig

Moved on to the next thing...
Got the JackTV antenna and the bedroom TV installed tonight . . .
Turns out the bedroom wall is only 1-inch think, and the screws I had in the wall of the Trail Runner were 2 1/2 inch screws, so had to make a run to Lowe's for some screws.
Also tried to install the MaxAirII vent cover I took off of the Trail Runner, but it seems the Ventline vents on the new trailer need a diferrent set of mounting brackets.

We spent a few hours starting to get a good coat of wax on our new RV, then a few hours chilling in the pool.
Waxing a 3875FB is a more than one day project, we are in our 60's so the up and down a ladder takes its toll on my knees. I apply the wax and Gary does the buffing, it is coming out great!

Finally got someone at Directv to bring out and install my Genie whole home dvr in the big country. We live full time in ours and first guy that came accused me of trying to commit fraud by asking him to install the system. I called directv and let them know what I felt about that contract installer and they sent a new guy this AM that was happy to do install as long as i called him with any problems in the first 30 days so he does not get in trouble.

We've had our Dish system at our site for 7 months, they put dish on a tripod for us. No problems at all.
Had to evacuate due to flooding, so took dish with us. Still gotta figure out how to set it up again, but know it can be done.

Any other equipment they would have just shipped to me such as HD or regular DVR but being is their newest thing at the moment they want someone to come out and install and activate it so it does. It end up on eBay although there are already a ton of them on there. Mine was free due to service plan and going back under a two year contract. But the contract installer here hates rv's so that Is why I had to get ugly with DTV to get them to send some one back out. All in all I am happy with the 2nd guy and the work he did for me.

Finished waxing the Elkridge. What a chore. The DA buffer was a tremendous help. Thanks everyone for the advise on buffer/polishers from me previous thread. Looks better that the day we picked it up.
Today, I packed the wheel bearings. Looked good but I did them anyways. BUT.....I did find another issue. On our last camping trip, I noticed that the trailer brakes seemed a little weak. Actually, it was coming back from the last Heartland rally that I noticed this. Just couldn't find the problem. Then I noticed this, The wire had pulled away from the wire nut. No electric connection.
No rear axle brakes for over 300 miles. Easy fix.

What buffer did you end up with? Porter cable? What did you use for wax/polish?
Need to do mine but hand waxing is not what I want to do...especially if I can get a new power tool!
