RE: Winegard Entertainment Select & Jack Antenna
Use the power supply that came with the Jack Antenna. Get rid of the winegard switch, Use Inputs on TV instead. Winegard switch attenuates signals.

RE: Reese R16K 5th wheel hitch
I've had the Reese 16K for about 7 years. Pulled thousands of miles. Was even involved in a head on collision (not my fault) and that Reese has never failed. Follow the instructions and it will never come loose. I'd be real interested in a more detailed explanation of what failed on yours.

RE: ideas needed-tablet + usb camera + screen capture?
How about just using a smartphone and texting the image to the company account. You can then use the image any way you want.

RE: Brand New Fiver- Floor flexing at entry steps
Most manuf. don't support the floor at the door opening. I put a length of 2" angle iron across the opening (under the floor) and secured it at either end.

RE: It's that time of the year....dog complaints.
Hi Hershey, actually Boston Terriers are not Terriers. Weird. Look it up some time, they have an interesting history and are all American dogs. They love camping, and are very happy staying in the rig and enjoying the AC. They only bark if someone comes too close to the rig, and that's if I leave the curtains open. Boston Terriers are not out door dogs and cannot handle heat or cold. Anyone that leaves a Boston Terrier outside is committing a crime. They are wonderful companions. Unlike some folks, we take care to always, always, pick up their poop, and yes I've been known to pick up poop from others dogs.

RE: It's that time of the year....dog complaints.
Hi Paul, I see that you are a new member. I can cut you some slack. You didn't start THIS thread, I did. After years of being on and participating in this forum I've seen an annual flare up of folks complaining about pooping and barking dogs. It's almost comical. My purpose in starting this thread was not to criticize you, but rather to remind folks of the good things dogs do. I'm sure you like dogs.....

RE: It's that time of the year....dog complaints.
Hey, everyone and everything has to poop. Yes, there are some disgusting humans around. Dogs are just doing what comes naturally, and I'm sure most of us would welcome a barking dog pre-warning us of a dangerous situation. Poop is a small price to pay.

I see two negative threads going about dogs. Seems to happen every year. Did you know that dogs were the first animals to be domesticated? They have been with humans for thousands of years providing protection and companionship. Lets take a moment to consider these wonderful animals and their unwavering dedication and loyalty to us.

RE: why no "high end" 28 - 30 ft. fivers ???
Look for a used Nuwa Hitchhiker II, model 29.5LKTG. With the three slides it makes a wonderful space. Tows with a 2500HD all day long. Just right for two and some furry friends.

RE: best gps for campers
I know he specifically asked about GPS units, but I'm pretty much sold on a smart phone running Google Maps/Navigation. It's free, constantly updated, and works really great. You DO need a cellphone signal for it to work optimally, but you can cache maps if you loose the signal. It has traffic, weather, lane to be in, and a pretty spiffy female voice, plus it's free.

RE: Direct TV HD receiver connection
To change channels from the bedroom get one of those inexpensive RF adaptors ....(http://www.amazon.com/Next-Generation-Remote-Control-Extender/dp/B000C1Z0HA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1361197941&sr=8-2&keywords=tv+remote+extender+wireless). I said it wouldn't be easy to make the change. Believe me, it's worth it.

RE: Direct TV HD receiver connection
I know it will be difficult for some, but just ditch the switch and use the inputs on the TV to control what you watch.

RE: 50 AMP Problem (long post)
HI Bryan, naturally we pay for watts but with no current we get no watts. If the current doesn't flow back and forth through the neutral(AC)then how does the attached equipment find a way back to ground (neutral?) We ARE talking about two 110VAC legs which are out of phase, NOT 220VAC. Just curious.

RE: 50 AMP Problem (long post)
Wow, NO current will flow in the neutral if the loads are balanced between the two out of phase 110v's? Seeing as how we pay for current vs. voltage I guess you could run everything for free? I'm thinking the current flowing in the neutral at any one time would be half the total being drawn by the two 110v's. We used to use this trick in house wiring where you could run a 3 conductor romex to a far part of the house and make sure the two circuits were on different phases in the panel and we could ensure that the neutral could handle the total current.

RE: AM/FM/Internet Table Radio
When I'm away from the internet radio I use my Galaxy S3 to stream the same stations. I use Iheartradio app and Tuneinradio app.

RE: AM/FM/Internet Table Radio
I'm a big talk radio buff (Coast to Coast) etc. I also like to stream Pandora, I Heart Radio. Got tired of the fading AM signals even though I had a good C Crane radio. The internet radio is something I couldn't do without. I take it in the RV and use it extensively around the house. I have an older model of this and it works great. You might go directly to the Grace website for a better price. The chip used in the Grace uses a service based out of England for database. The Logitech hereinternet radio uses a U.S. based database and has a rechargeable battery. I like the rechargeable battery idea as I find myself wanting to listen to the radio while outside in the garage. Of course you need to be within range of your wifi signal. Either way you might want to read up on reviews to determine which you like the best. I like the Grace.
Would make a good Christmas gift for yourself.......
