Insurance Quote
I presently have my fiver insured with Geico ($582.00) Many of my RV friends have suggesterd that I should consider insuring with a company that specializes in RVs. I got a quote from Gilbert RV Insurance and their quote is $547.50. How does it compare with other companies? My fiver is in the signature.
Thanks,
J. Maddox

RE: Repacking Wheel Bearing
Thanks for responding so quickly. :) I was quoted an estimate of $140.00 (2hr labor). I don't mind paying a fair price for "services rendered", I just didn't want to be taken to the cleaners. It seems that the quoted price is reasonable. Thanks for giving me peace of mind.

Repacking Wheel Bearing
I am planning to have the wheel bearings on my Cardinal repacked (2 axles) because I do not know if this maintenance has ever been performed as I am the second owner. What is a reasonable amount that should be charged for this service. I plan to have the work done at a local tire center in Chiefland FL where I am currently staying until next week. Thanks.

RE: space heaters
I bought a Lasko electric ceramic heater last yr. It keeps my fiver living area nice and warm with no problem. It cost $70 something and is well worth the cost.

RE: Do I Need A Dually?
I would err on the side of safety and go with the dually. The dually provides more stability, increased towing capability and if you have a "flat" in the rear you can keep on truckin. It may not be that vital if you are an occassional hauler but your sitiuation seems that you haul frequently.

A pressure pro question
I will be installing the Pressure Pro TPMS in the next couple of days to my truck and fiver. The 09 dodge 3500 dually has a TPMS already. Do I need to take any action before installing the PP system. Any and all comments appreciated.

SAt Signal detector
I am in a CG in FL that is very wooded and I am unable to get a SAT TV signal. I have a roof mounted winegard travler sys. My question is, is there any type of handheld signal detector available to check for a sat signal before unhitching and using the on board system in the fiver. Just wondering.

Extended Warranty for Tow-er
I received a notice from my truck dealer offering an extended warranty as the original warranty will expire in Nov. My 09 Dodge Ram 3500 dually is in great mechanical shape and has only 16,500 miles. Normally I would not even be considering an extended warranty but a well known RV blogger recently had to have his F450 diesel engine replaced (64Kmi) to the tune of about $18,000.00, not to mention the aggrivation. The warranty is through CNA. The rep quoted $2800 for 5yrs or 60K miles. For $400.00 more the mileage is increased to 75K. If you have any knowledge of CNA or advice please let me know. Thanks.

RE: Wireless Printer Ques
Epson 545 wireless printer now working great. I ended up calling Epson tech support. here is what we did.
1. confirmed all the computer & mifi settings (I had already done that but we did it again.
2. down loaded and installed network drivers. I thought I had already done that from the provided CD.
3. created a local network and set a few switches
4. Printed a test page
5. we also checked out the wireless scan capability and it worked
My verizon 4510L mifi is communicating flawlwssly!
Thanks to all who offered advice & comments.

RE: Wireless Printer Ques
I think I have completed all the steps that have been suggested - The printer interface is recognizing the MIFI, I have used the add/select printer feature. I installed all the associated software provided on the enclosed CD.
I have used the printer with the USB cable and it works fine. I will keep plugging away. Thanks for all suggestions and if you have more ideas please send them.

Wireless Printer Ques
Just purchased an Epson 545 printer for my fiver. I did the wireless set up and all the settings were confirmed on the printer interface. It recognized my MIFI and indicated good signal strength but I have not been able to get anything to print. I tried to print a "MS Word" doc. Do I need to download a program/app to be able to print. I saw something about "Google Cloud". Thanks for you input.

RE: Proper Chocking for Safety?
Jeff
When I bought my 2011 Cardinal fifth wheel (repoed)I had no fiver experience. I came here to the forum and requested a hitch/unhitch checklist and advice. In a matter of minutes I had my checklist (several). The first item on the unhitch and the last item on the hitching is "chocks". I always use the checklist.
