RE: Where does my tv plug in?
Follow the wires. Looks inside a closet or cabinet close by. Best thing on that young a model is to call Thor in Elkhart and ask. Call the service department, they will have a complete set of plans and wiring. I always foud them nice and easy to work with.

RE: Considering an RV Garage
When we considered building one for our small class A, the response from everyone was why spend money to cover something that should not be there?? Use the money to buy gas, and go! So we did.

RE: "Corps of Engineers" Camgrounds? What's that?
Sewer hookups are missing at many COE campgrounds, especially those on waterfront parks. In many cases, the low-lying land prohibits sewer lines and tanks. Also, many campsites flood regularly, which really messes up sewage systems. Many have limited systems with pumps to serve the bath houses, and maybe a close-by host site.

RE: "Corps of Engineers" Camgrounds? What's that?
Don't get started on COE management. Could go on for days, and is a great way to get the thread deleted. In most cases, the campgrounds are really great, and a great value. Depends on how hard the local VOLUNTEERS work, and their dedication to keeping a good campground. Rangers all have locked handcuffs on their hands and feet.

RE: First Trip - Memphis & Nashville: how to split the time
The good thing about a visit to Dickle is a chance to see the extremes in whisky making. Daniels is a BIG, major commercial distillery, producing millions of gallons each year. Dickle is old style, slow and easy, like the product.

RE: Delete new programs ?
If you really do have updates or big things to download, find a free wifi spot nearby and use that. Last time I was out, I needed some big updates, so there was a little cafe nearby that had free wifi, but did require a password from the cafe. getting that, I used one of their booths, and had a nice breakfast and several cups of coffee while downloading and installing the updates. However, as others will tell you, avoid some of the really "Open" wifi places. For me, a good place to work is a public library. Most have internet access available now, and are resonably safe to use. Their networks usually have some type of protection built in.

RE: First Trip - Memphis & Nashville: how to split the time
If you went through the area and only visited Jack Daniels, you missed the whole point. To really see Tennessee Sipping Whisky, George Dickle is the only place(and the only thing to drink). Look here.

RE: What the heck is this
OK, go ahead and use silicone. Its your RV. Lowes probably doesn't have Dicor anyway. If no RV place near, order over the internet and have it delivered. The reason the white junk is sticking so well is because its probably Dicor, not silicone.

RE: 12 Volt Outlets
Actually, there are 3 12v breakers from battery. I connected to breaker, 12ga to 15A fuse, 12ga to outlet. Protected by both breaker and fuse.

RE: 12 Volt Outlets
Installed a 12V power outlet, NOT a cheap "12v outlet". Installed on 12Ga wire, fused to main coach power circuit breaker. Use it for 400W inverter to power computer, Printer, phone charger, Nook charger, and just about anything I need. It is on a 15A fuse.

RE: Backup monitor location?
Depends a lot on how your dash and overhead are set up. Mine is overhead, and does not get a lot of glare from sunlight. Try not to block any of your vision field, but where you can see it without taking your eyes too far from the road.

RE: digital tv reception
Had the same type problem on our 2005 Gulfstream. Could pick up only a few close channels on the antenna, and those were flakey. Thinking that the antenna may have gone bad as the MH had been cooked in the sun before we got it. Checked all cables and connections, everything was good. I replaced the antenna head with a new WG Sensar IV with Wingman. Results were fantastic!! Signal as indicated by TV is doubled, and lots of channels just about everywhere that signals are available! Cost about $125 including installation. If you are able, installation is an easy DIY job for 15 min or less.

RE: Front window rattles
I have tried with the screens out, but too many bugs for the DW to put up with. I haven't tried HD, but will look at that. I remember that we used to buy felt channels for car windows that just pushed in place.

Front window rattles
On our 95 GulfStream class A, the driver and passenger windows slide open and closed. When closed and driving, they both seem to rattle a lot, part of the sound is from the screens, which also slide in channels. Looks like instead of full weatherstripping in the slide channels, there are only some plastic spacers, which apparently are supposed to hold the window and screen. Looks like some have gatten hard and popped out, so that the windows do not seal well, and rattle with wind. First, has anyone else have this type problem, and what have you done?? I am thinking about the felt-type window channels that used to be in car window frames, but have not be able to fine anything so far. Anyone have any ideas???

RE: Tims Ford State Park, TN
After Jack Daniels, George Dickle is a must! See how Real Tennessee Whiskey is made. Alas, no tasting there. Might be a good idea to call first.

RE: Roan Mtn. State Park, TN
We have been there one time, and really liked it! There is a great trout stream that runs through the campground, but although it had been stocked just a few days before, none of the trout liked my bait!! It is not a big campground, but as I remember, it was very nice. I do remember that we had no cell service an AT&T, as we had a family problem that week and had to drive about 10 miles to get cell service.
