RE: Alignment settings goal review
Bear in mind that camber can have a significant effect on tire wear and is set pretty close to zero because of that. Also, going more positive will put more load on the outer wheel bearings which have a lower load capability than the inner wheel bearings because of the size difference.

RE: clean motorhome with pressure washer
I would do almost anything to avoid injecting water into every possible leakage point. In other words, I'd never use a pressure washer on mine. I'm probably biased since I had to repair major water damage on my previous RV.

RE: Question abt metal studs ect?
Look at the prices on sold units at pplmotorhomes and then you can decide how reasonable those asking prices are.

RE: Alignment settings goal review
Given the amount of camber correction that was needed, that was probably as much caster as he could get. I think they've done the best that can be done with the alignment.

RE: Surpentine belt replacement
It's a pretty simple one man job if you use a task specific tool on the belt tensioner.

RE: checking the onboard cabin battery charger ?
Check across the two post or terminals on the battery. Hopefully you see around 14 volts if the charger is working.

RE: Winegard Wingman - How does it work?
If the broadcast antenna is directly behind your rv and several miles away, which way should the Wingman be pointing for the strongest signal?
I assume the pointer inside the rv is just to "park" the antenna for lowering to the flat position.
If the broadcast antenna is just a few miles away, you shouldn't even need to crank up the antenna or aim it, just turn on the amplifier. The pointer inside is just for parking; however, you probably know which way the antenna points relative to the pointer so you can use that to aim without going outside to see where you've aimed the antenna.

RE: Hard drive disposal
I have never read such paranoia in my life.
I trust all of the fanatics are equally fanatical about never putting papers in the trash, or making phone calls, or handing over their credit card in a restaurant, or using a third party to do your taxes etc, or trusting banks with your money... ok, maybe the last one does need some consideration.
I do have some money in a bank, so maybe I'm not a fanatic after all. Sometimes just a tiny bit of effort now, can save a lot of grief later.

RE: Can I connect RV AC directly to portable solar panels?
You would need at least 50 of the 45 watt panels to run an A/C.

RE: Antenna for the Wilson Sleek-V
The antenna needs a conductive ground plane to work well. If you're trying to use Verizon 4G at 7XX mHz, a 3.5" ground plane isn't big enough for optimum performance; however, the amplification provided by the Sleek may be enough that a sub-optimum ground plane won't matter in your particular situation.

RE: ideas needed-tablet + usb camera + screen capture?
I'd just use a digital camera and a flashlight. Turn off the flash in the camera and adjust the flashlight angle so that the light reflection is not in the image.

RE: Alignment settings goal review
Camber spec is 0.5 +/- 0.5 degrees. Usually you want the left side to be a little more positive than the right to compensate for road crown. The vehicle will pull to the side that is most positive so a little bias will help the vehicle go straight on a crowned road. Toe is specified at 0.06 +/- 0.25 (per side I think). Too much toe will cause added tire wear. I think 0.5 degrees of toe might be too much. I'm definitely not an alignment professional, but a lot of professionals aren't professional either.

RE: Equal or Counteract Balancing Compounds
I have equal in mine. You might want to have the installer try a road force balance before doing anything more but it sounds like there's a bad tire and they just haven't found it yet. You can google road force balance to find out who has the equipment to do it.

RE: latitude and longitude finder
Just plug the lat and long into a GPS navigation device as a destination and then go where the nav device tells you to go. Same as plugging in a street address for a destination. Mostly this would be used for off road navigation.
