RE: Garmin GPS
I got my Garmin summer 2007.
I had it registered, went to MyGarmin,,,,and there was a notice for me to download the 2009 maps. The price was right,,,FREE.
Downloaded the 2009 maps and continues to work well for me.
Garmin actually replaced my first unit under warranty. They have been an excellent company for me to work with.
I haven't found anything in this life perfect yet,,,,but traveling a lot, the GPS sure beats the old fashioned way.
RE: National Interstate Glass Claim - Toad
New windshield installed.:B
No fuss, no muss, no cost. Those are days that I don't mind.:B
I go lookn' for new Texas Rock!:S:R
Called adjuster, thanked her for efficient handling of claim!:)
RE: National Interstate Glass Claim - Toad
Step #2
Received a call from NI at 7:30 a.m.
They took the information, provided claim number, adjuster's name and that I will be contacted by the adjuster, etc.
I was told I can take the car anywhere for repair.
National Interstate Glass Claim - Toad
This will be my first claim with NI.
I contacted NI by telephone and received a recording to leave info for next day call back.
Not an emergency, so no problem.
Has anyone had any experience with a windshield glass claim with NI?
We are currently in Texas. AGAIN!
In 2000 and again in 2006 while insured under progressive, I had a MH windshield replacement claim on each occasion. Again while in Texas.
I reached a live person each time. On the 2000 claim, a mobile RV service replaced the windshield at our site. It was a smaller MH on a ChevVan chassis at the time.
The 2006 claim was handled by progressive and required the shipment of a replacement windshield by Duncan Glass and was repaired at Ancira in Boerne.
Both progessive glass claims went extremely well, and completed in a timely manner.
What can I expect from NI?
I will continue to post my progress with NI.
RE: GPS Map Updates via WIFI??? Tom Tom - Garmin
I just updated myb Garmin 750 using RV Park wifi from 2008 maps to 2009 maps.
More than 2 hour process.
Not a problem. Works like a charm.
I also have ATT air card, but chose to use wifi from the park, because it has been flawless and faster than the aircard.
RE: Finding decent Motor Home Service
Try This.
I use it before I go anywhere. If no one on the list, I then go to the manufacturer website of the item I need serviced, etc. Have had good luck with this process.
Also, I do a search on the forums for any place I consider. Be surprised what you sometimes find about others experiences.
RV Service Reviews, Georgia
Good Luck.
RE: front tv removal????
tonkatoys;
It was a gray panasonic, tapered in the back. I was surprised how easy it was to remove. My concern in removing it was whether I could handle it without any help. Went slow and all went well.
Did it myself, and I am vertically challenged.
If it is the same set, you will be surprised how easy it is to handle.
Good Luck.
RE: front tv removal????
I recently removed a 27" Panasonic without any problem. Fit through the 24" doorway.
Also removed a sleeper sofa, after removing back and sides and it fit through the doorway also.
Good Luck.
RE: Portable 50 Amp Surge Guard
We have had 8 Rv's in 32 years, never had an electrical problem anywhere in the USA.
However, that said, I still wanted some protection, but did not want to spend a fortune for it.
I was thinking safe electric, and here is what I use and have used for the past 2.2 years:
Surge Protector
The above electrical prophalactic has worked well so far, at an acceptable cost.
Additionally, I use individual surge protectors for additional electronics that I want to protect IF I do have an electrical problem.
With a 32 year gamble, and RV history, considering our experience, I'm confident that we are adequately protected. Could something happen, sure, but no matter what, I'm still not gettn' outta this world alive.
Kinda like one plane crash, scares the hell outta some folks from flying. How many land and take off safely.
So many scare tactics out there for everything, we can go nuts trying to protect ourselves from everything.
I also use an adequate water pressure regulator, and water filtering system.
Everyone has their own idea as to how much protection they want and/or need.
This is just my humble opinion, but like all of them, it's just one. And we know how oderous any of them can be.;)
Good Luck, and don't forget to enjoy the ride.
What me worry!, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow!
RE: Would you? - do you? - why?
Put the awning up, take a bottle of wine out of the outside fridge, put in JM's
TEXAS, sit back and enjoy LIFE!
I heard somewhere that it's about FREEEEEEDOMMMMMMMM!
As soon as the 15" goes, it will be replaced with a 24" HDTV, 1080P, and a Blu-Ray. I need a surround sound headset (tongue in cheek). = HEAVEN!
The empty bottle of wine will be replaced also!
I live in my outside Den, when not rolling down the road. DW does not care for movies where they kill them all, although she did like Flags of our Fathers in Blu-Ray.
What a life! I just don't understand why they only have a 42", when they make a 60".
Size does Matter! Enjoy
RE: Sofa question
We removed our sofa and replaced it with two leather lazyboy rocker recliners, and not looking back.
The comfort alone made it worthwhile.
After 8 RV's over the years, never had one with a comfortable couch.
RE: Clean Exterior of MH without water??
California Duster and Protect-All.
No soap or water here for over 2 years, except when it rains, then just wata!
Still has showroom shine!
RE: Blue Ray ?
I installed a 37" Toshiba HDTV 1080P
Sony, BluRay
Sony Surround Sound, in the MH.
Don't know if I could tell if there was a difference between the 720 and 1080, but BluRay is 1080P also.
All I know is it sure is sweet, DW will play Hades, getting me back to the movie theater. For the price of tickets, etc., I'll go buy the BluRay Disc.
RE: cheapest way for toad
I tow a 2007 Nissan Sentra on a Master Tow Dolly. 25k on the Nissan, and about the same on the Tow Dolly, which was used previously to tow a 2003 Toyoter'
Good Luck on whatever you decide.
RE: Debit or bank bill pay, which is better/safer
I probably will be in the minority here, but I don't like auto pays or auto debits. I still like paying my own bills. I log into my bank account once a month to pay bills. I go to the bill payer section, click on the payees, type in the amount to pay and submit. If I have 7 bills to pay, I am in/out in under 3 minutes with a printed copy of the transactions. My bank pays most of mine through auto transfer, but for the few businesses that are still in the dark ages and don't use that, the bank actually cuts them a physical check and mails it AT NO COST TO ME. No stamp, no fee, zada, zilch. They guarantee payment within a few days and if there is a dispute, they handle it all. If I ever take it a step further, I will have the bank auto pay them.
Dale
Yep!:)
YEP Again!
I actually used Bill Pay to send my son a check in March, he travels frequently, and never cashed or deposited the Bill Pay Check. After 90 days my Bank, recredited my account and cancelled payment on the Bill Pay Check. I notified my son, and will send him another one.
I still have 2 personal checks lost in the mail for 5 years now, and have never been seen again. I use Bill Pay for anything and everything. JUST my Nickel's worth (use to be 2 cents, but Inflation!!!)
I use any and every security procedure my Bank provides, and Bill Pay is a no brainer for me.
Good Luck with whatever you decide.
RE: How can I clean mold stains from white rubber trim
Try softscrub,
On stubborn areas let it sit on the stain briefly.
I use it on the boat, and MH. Haven't found much better.
Also, on the boat, I have used toilet bowl cleaner on real bad stains, but be careful and wash throroughly and immediately if you use it. It has mild acid, which works good on the boat stains. Have not had any problem using it over the past 10 years. I would consider using it sparingly on the MH, if it was bad and the softscrub did not do the job I wanted. Think lots of water for rinsing on either product.
After using any product on the rubber roof, I would also use a rubber enhancing product when finished cleaning.
Good luck.

Thanks again for your help.
