RE: Dish Network Play Maker Sat Antenna Problems
Just a guess but I would bet there is a splitter installed in that satellite cable run inside the trailer. That would allow data flow from the antenna to the receiver but would not allow data flow from the receiver back to the antenna for a channel change to another satellite. Is there two satellite receiver connection locations in the trailer?

RE: Gas, 26-27 foot, no slide Class A...any ideas
What your looking for doesn't exist in a 2015 or newer class A. Suggest you look for something 2000 or older.

RE: Make a "Smart" RV ?
I would start with $ 1,000,000 dollars and throw money at it till it was what you want, or just buy a new one for half that amount.

Porsche has been contracted to help design Newells for years.
Well that's one contract that's a waste of money. Nothing special in that coach design.

RE: Crazy Parts Prices from Manufacturers
Recent eye-opener.
Got a burnt out marker light on my Demco dolly on my last trip. Called Demco, parts dude quoted me $30 (plus shipping) :R.
Went on Amazon & got the OEM part for about $7 shipped.
I can see some mark up but my goodness.... don't these companies realize there's such thing nowadays as the internet?
They don't care. If your stupid enough to pay their asking price then they make a lot of money, if you don't oh well they get their paycheck at the end of the week. Parts people are some of the dumbest marketing people on the face of the earth.
I had to deal with them during my career in the automotive industry and not one had any idea of customer service or marketing.

RE: Towing 4Runner
My recollection is that the transfer case lube pump is on the input shaft which makes it not suitable for towing regardless of it having a manual neutral. I tow a 2000 4Runner and use a driveshaft disconnect.
Incorrect, the transfer case will lubricate from splash lube being circulated by the output shaft gears and chain. I personally know of 4 late model 4Runner TRD Edition vehicles that are being used as toads, all with several thousand towing miles.

RE: Nothing For Nothing
Rut Roh!!
Don't tell Cummins that the 10% program ended! Picked up my motorhome this afternoon after some major Onan generator issues and when presented with the bill I asked about the Power Club and the 10% discount, manager was like "oops" let me subtract that parts discount. Saved me over $300 today!
If your currently a Power Club member the discount is good till your membership expires. Then no discount.
In other words, that whole e-mail was Cummins backhanded way of telling you that they are doing away with their parts discount.

Nothing For Nothing
Got an e-mail today from the Cummins Power Club hailing their new program. You no longer have to pay to be a member of the Cummins Power Club effective 1/2/2020. Also the 10% discount on parts benefit of belonging to the Cummins Power Club went away at the same time.
So now you don't have to pay and you get nothing in return.

RE: Towing 4Runner
In order to tow any Toyota / Lexus product 4down as is, it must have a MANUAL shift transfer case with NEUTRAL position. That means it cannot have a button or switch to engage 4WD, it must be shifted manually with a shift lever. Since 2010 Toyota has made a 4Runner Off Road edition / or TRD edition that has a manual shift transfer case and can be towed 4down.

RE: Co-pilot for RV's App
Co-Pilot will allow you to custom build a complete trip with individual stops and routing preferences as you want and save. Co-pilot does not require a WIFI or cell connection to operate, only access to the GPS satellites.

RE: TOGO Problem
The AT&T $360 plan will NOT be renewed when it expires. No one will be Grandfathered in. AT&T will offer their normal broadband plans as a replacement. However Winegard will give you instructions on unlocking the roof top device so another carriers sim card can be used. Give Winegard a call.

RE: ToGo a No-Go
AT&T will not renew your $360 plan when it comes due. You are not grandfathered in like most plans. You will have to renew under the new rate schedule or unlock your device and use another providers sim card. Call Winegard for instructions.

RE: Looking for info on TSD Logistics
I was looking at this as well, are there any other places than truck stops that this works at?
Not with a discount. The fuel card is accepted for payment at several commercial truck type fuel locations but only Loves, TA, and P/FJ give the discounts.

RE: How do I turn off my Dish network
NEVER NEVER NEVER use the word "suspend" ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS use the term " disconnect " or " cancel my service " . If you use the word suspend they will put your account on pause and bill you a $5 monthly fee to maintain the account. If you truly have Pay-AS-You-Go. Just don't pay the next months bill, the account will cancel automtically.
A way to tell if your account is truly Pay-AS-You-Go are you billed a monthly receiver fee or did you have to buy your receivers upfront before getting the service. If you bought your receivers then your account should be Pay-AS-You-Go.

RE: Continental Tires PSI rising 20
NO, the temperature increase you are seeing is perfectly normal. Your Michelins did the same you just don't remember. All motorhome tires will build air pressure as they run down the road some a little more than others due to tread resistance and side wall construction.

RE: 2003 National Tradewinds
I will guarantee you the dealer stripped every record of your ownership and maintenance out of the vehicle and destroyed them. Dealers then can claim anything they want about previous ownership without any written records to contradict them. That's standard dealer sales policy in all dealerships be it cars, trucks, or RV's.

RE: getting a tow vehicle
Thanks. Will read over.
My ideal vehicle would be a 4Runner but not viable unless on a trailer. Wrong, check out a 4Runner Off Road Edition or later 4Runner TRD Edition. They come with a automatic transmission and a MANUAL shift transfer case which makes them fully 4down towable as is. No need for a trailer or driveshaft disconnect.
