    Direct Tv Components

    Thanks for all your suggestions. Forgot about Craigslist and the web site is great. Direct wants to charge me more than $150 to come out and hook up a receiver beacause I didn't include it my original installation and that doesn't include an additional dish. Thanks again.

    Direct Tv Components

    Need Direct Tv dish (not roof mounted) and receiver. Don't care if they are HD or not. Just switched from Dish and have to start over again. Should have saved my old Direct equipment but I didn't.

    Surge Guard Protecting?? or Defective??

    Take my advice. Don't assume your Surge Guard is defective and disconnect it. Thats what I did last year and burned up my microwave, bedroom tv and a few minor appliances. Problem was in the pedastal and campground reimbursed me for everything. I had bought a used portable Surge Guard so I...

    Dave & Julie's Alaska Adventure

    Dave & Julie I too have been enjoying your travels. Brings back many memories of a similiar trip we took in 2002. See you are going back to Watson Lake and would like to suggest, if you haven't done so already, stopping at Dawson Peaks Resort, which is about 7 miles (KM's ?) east of Teslin at...

    Balancing Tires

    Bob Thanks for your great explanation. Have to admit I had to read it a couple of times for the info to sink in - but thats my problem. I'm on the road right now but will print this thread out when I get home and keep a copy in the BH and also get my tires balanced before our next trip. Thanks...

    Balancing Tires

    This is really confusing. I have had a previous SOB and more recently my BH in to have the axles aligned - the first at a semi truck center and the BH at an alignment shop that specializes in RV's and both told me it was not necessary to balance the tires. Who do I believe? Truck center said...

    Heartland Desert

    Hey Bob Glad to hear you are safe and sound in Yakima. You're right about lack of Heartland presence in WA. Think the main dealers are in Liberty Lake and Fife. That's why we ended buying in Muskegon. This state seems to lean more towards Montanas. Holler if you get this side of the mountains...

    RESOLVED - Eureka Yellow Jacket

    Anybody not using their vacuum and would like to get rid of it? I need a new circuit board for ours and have been unable to find one. Eureka doesn't support them anymore and referred me to another company who suggests replacing the whole unit. Thought I'd check here first. Please e-mail or PM...

    Model # of converter in my 2009 Bighorn?

    We have an '07 and it was a 9260C which has a built in charge wizard. The reason I know is that some power problems just caused me to replace it. I now have a 9100(9160?) but have to get a plugable wizard. I'm pretty sure both models are rated at 60 amps. Good luck.
