    The easy way to get 2 Sat lines to the Ent Center

    That could be the problem Dan. I can't remember if the basement outlet is split off to the bedroom or not! If it is, try bypassing the bedroom completely to see if it works. The key is to get away from the booster. It's only been a little over a year since I did the mod, but I'm finding I...

    The easy way to get 2 Sat lines to the Ent Center

    From your question I'm not exactly sure what the problem is but I think it has something to do about what I mentioned before about using diplexers. You have to use a diplexer or the catv booster will interfere with the Sat reception. As far as I can make out, this is probably your problem. As...

    Poor man's level up

    I see a project coming up! A switch would make it more manageable.

    Poor man's level up

    I like mine and it does work but as others have said the batteries, especially in the transmitter, are a real PIA! If we're parked for any length of time I take the batteries out of the TX. I located the TX with heavy duty velcro up on the ceiling of the basement near the UDC so it was easy to...

    Leaking Shower Pan

    If I can do the fix myself I will do it to save on a long host of issues that can happen as a result of a trip to the dealer. I've even sent them pictures of defective parts and had them mail replacements to me. I find it''s just a lot easier to just do it myself! With bigger issues I take it in...

    Upgrading 6000 lbs to 7000 lbs springs

    My dealer parts man gave me a number for a supplier that's local. It's called Cerka Industries located in Milton not too far from where I live and they carry the Standen springs. A 3500 Lbs spring is $44 and UPS shipping for 100 lbs worth is about $45. The have wet bolts and solid 5/8" U bolts...

    Bed cover with 5th wheels - what are you using?

    I found a deal on a BakFlip HD a few weeks ago. It works well but I can't see the hitch when driving and hooking up. My previous setup with a V gate with a low profile toolbox was great but I sometimes need security when hauling weather sensitive items. I've always liked the Fold-a-Cover and am...

    Upgrading 6000 lbs to 7000 lbs springs

    Bob... I'm curious about the EMCO springs. Where did you order them and can they supply U bolts and and wet bolts? The price on their web site is half that of Lipperts! For me doing the change over would not be a problem. Easy job, just time consuming!

    Upgrading 6000 lbs to 7000 lbs springs

    Tnx for the info guys! I did phone Lippert and got a price but they ship UPS which is not good when crossing the border. I have some options and will have to figure out which one to choose to get them here.

    Bedroom Slide Flange Concern

    Since you have a new trailer I would remove the old caulking and replace with a new bead of caulking.

    Upgrading 6000 lbs to 7000 lbs springs

    I really don't like the look of my springs and I wouldn't mind changing them out. BTW I was told by the dealer via Lippert that they're OK??? They look flat to me! Has anyone done this? I just want to change the springs and not the axles. I would imagine the width and length to be the same but...

    A shut off switch for my 12 volt battery

    That's the type of switch I used (rpkeida post) but mounted it on the right support of the hydraulic pump shelf. Used a hole saw and made a positive connection. You can get these switches off eBay cheap.

    Under bed storage...

    Nabo... You can't do what I did with the Rubbermaid's in my earlier post with the pic's? There's room on the left side but not on the right. Maybe the pedestal is smaller under the queen bed?
