Just an FYI about Dish
I recently fired DTV and went with dish, I had Dish installed in a stick and brick and added Dish Outdoors for the RV.
I was surprised when I went to change to locals in the RV, after reading and research I thought that the locals could be changed at will in the RV. But you can only have locals in one location either the RV or the home address. The Pay as You Go Plan is where one can change locals.
Just an FYI

RE: Adding washer and dryer to FW
Just my 2¢ here I had a washer fail and I replaced it with a Splendide. They issue I had was finding a washer that had dimensions that would fit. The width was good on a lot of brands but the depth was the issue most were 2 inches to deep.

RE: Bear Spray
Why buy local at Yellowstone? What's different about local vs. what's available on Amazon?
I would buy in the local area? Because I would be more assured that a local purchase would be in compliance with the area as far as EPA and local laws. Also I would assume that the spray would be fresh, not expired. Bottom line I would trust a local purchase more than an online purchase and I am willing to pay more.
When I camped between Cody and the East Gate the forest service came around and warned us about the Grizzly Bear problem that was there at that time. I purchased my Bear Spray in Cody and not sure but I think I got it at Walmart.
Also if you go into Canada some of the Bear Sprays are not allowed. Just an FYI

RE: Mobile satellite
Bill.Satellite
A quick question:
Are you still getting Direct TV DNS?
They, DTV, stopped mine and a few bonus channels and any discounts I had for being an AT&T customer.

RE: Mobile satellite
The SD system is $1800 k the HD is &4000
I think those prices are very high. A Winegard Traveler installed is about $2500.00 for DTV and or Dish TV, depending on what service you want. Antennas on Amazon are about $1600.00.
I just went through all this with DTV (hours) and finally went with Dish, if I had stayed with DTV I would have gotten a Winegard Tailgater and used my H24 receiver but only would receive SD.
I finally had to decide to change or break in the wind. I cleaned up a lot of my wiring in the MH after removing the overhead TV and moving the TV to a dedicated TV stand on the floor.
The biggest thing for me was that RG-6 was used to hook up between the old receivers and the TV, but now the connections to the TV from the receivers (DTV or Dish) is HDMI or component and that presented some challenges for me.
Good Luck

RE: Changed to Dish
Thanks to all here as I will go to Dish from DTV as soon as I get my Wally and antenna in a week or so. The information on how things work will help me. I was a Primestar customer when DTV bought it a long time ago.

RE: Satellite Finder app for IPhone
Thank You rk911 that looks good. I see you have Verizon I have AT&T but assume that will make no difference. At 4.99 it is not bad I have spent more than that on Coffee.

RE: Satellite Finder app for IPhone
I have a Dish Tailgater and I am trying to find an app to enable my iPhone to locate the satellites so I know where to find a clear path. Any suggestion for a free app that will do this?
Thanks
the Dish For My RV app uses your phone's camera to show where the Dish birds are. we use it all the time.
On the Dish for my RV does will that give you a look at the sky and see the Sats and obstructions?
Thank You

RE: Ev charging in camps expectation of availability, cost
"how do you expect camp power supplies to be equal to charging your vehicle"
Good evening
I do not expect any RV Campground or Resort to supply my EV (do not own one yet) with power, the same as they, RV camps, do not supply my gasoline powered vehicle with gasoline. If your EV needs fuel the go to the charging stations just like I go to the gas station.
That said I do believe some of the bigger campgrounds and resorts will install charging stations for there guests for pay or free depending on the amenities of the camp.
Just my 2¢

RE: New satellite dish
Dish TV has a dish with two receiver connections. It can be mounted on the RV or used as a portable. It is HD.
Why would I want to put all the parts together when I can have a dome and two Wally for about $450. His product appears to cost over$1000.
So you can watch two TVs at the same time on not only different channels but different satellites. Also with Dish with two Wallys seems to be a little quirky and you can watch two TVs but only on the same Satellite.
