RE: Dealer will not work on toad.
Burp . There is a package deal that requires NO diodes and has NO connection to the towed wiring or electronics. (1) a connecting plug and harness for attaching to front of towed, (2) wiring to a pair of bulb sockets which fit into empty slots in the tail light assembly, (3) bulbs, fuses and instructions, (4) wiring and plugs to run to your coach. A nice trim solution to towed turn signals, etc. I suspect most RV dealers have these kits.

RE: Hooking up TV converter box
Bugle Boy. quark is correct, one converter box for each TV and install it between switch box and TV. Secondly, I could find NO radio frequency converter boxes, so we have to leave the cabinet doors open for the IR signal!

RE: Non-potable water in white hose
Fortkentdad. Put a mix of a quarter up of chlorox and 3/4 cup of water in the hose, screw ends together, let it sit for an hour or so and rinse thoroughly. You then have a fresh water hose again. The reason this is a potable water hose is that it is made of stuff that won't leach out in your water. Don't sweat the small stuff.

RE: I had my first tire blowout on classA
calfman47. Load range "H" is a better tire than load range "G". "H" is a 16 ply tire and more expensive. I am not expert enough to know f you should mix the two types. Just bought 6 new 275/80-22,5 load range H for my coach. I insisted they order "new" tires. I would NOT pay for anything dated more than 6 weeks prior to purchase. Would you buy milk that was past expiration date? It is true that tires may not age as much in dark storage but when replacement comes the date stamped on the tire is the issue. Not many of us ever wear out a tire.

RE: Best Big Rig Friendly Route NH to VA
NH Birdies. I 64 is out of your way. Take I 66 east from Winchester over to Marshall where you pick up US 17. It has some stop signs but NO cities. Join I 95 just north of Fredericksburg.

RE: Nice Campground in Knoxville TN area
itchy wheels. If the Vols have a home game that weekend, better get your reservations in early. Knoxville gets full when Fulmer and crew are performing.

RE: Chattanooga to Anderson, SC
Highway Stars. You can't get there from Chattanooga. Well, really you can. I have driven US 64 to Franklin, US 441 to Commerce and I 85 to Greenville (Anderson), Its OK. DO NOT DRIVE US 64 east of Franklin unless you want underway inspection of your rear license plate. I have a 38 foot motorcoach and tow a CR-V.

RE: tuning Wineguard power antenna
Wow. What a great place to get information. Ask what time it is and find out how to make a clock. Fun reading and who knows, I might want to make a clock. Thanks again, everybody.

RE: tuning Wineguard power antenna
SCVJeff . Thanks, that's what I needed. My display shows a signal meter, no button on the remote, though. I'll try tuning to the meter after I've selected the digital channel. Appreciate all the good info (and the bad).

RE: tuning Wineguard power antenna
Cliford. Sorry about that, DPTv IS a pass thru box. Found out, however, that by turning OFF the box, the tuner on the TV works as before, ie, like no box was there.

tuning Wineguard power antenna
Now that have my DPTv converter boxes installed and working, sorta, how do I tune the batwing antenna. Before I simply tuned the station and rotated the antenna for best picture. Now, I put TV on channel 3, turn on the box and select channel with the remote for the box. Instead of a fuzzy picture, I get a dialog box telling me the signal is weak. I know, that channel may not be digital, yet, but do I need to rotate the antenna and how do I know the endpoint?

RE: Tri Cities Tennessee
Pirate is 100% correct. Carden's Bluff is hairy to get in and out of, mainly for pop-ups, small tag-alongs and 5ver's, and tents. It may indeed be Forest Service now but was built by COE as for construction of the dam 6o+ years ago.

RE: Tri Cities Tennessee
gokart2. Two private campgrounds, Rocky Top And KOA, both very nice and close to each other about 3-4 miles off of I 81 at the Tri Cities Airport exit. Warriors Path SP is close to Kingsport on Boone Lake. Carden's Bluff is a COE park on Watauga Lake between Mountain City and Elizabethton. Davy Crockett Birthplace SP is a little west near Chuckey, TN on the Nolichuckey River. I'm not a racing fan but if you are in the area when the races are on in Bristol, forget getting anything, usually all booked years in advance.
Ridgewood Barbecue is world famous, just out of Elizabethton. Bay's Mountain SP nice side trip, no camping for RV's. Rocky Mount State Historical Park worth the time. Also Tipton Haynes Museum near Johnson City.

Albany, NY,
I have carefully perused the TLD and find camping around Albany, NY somewhat lacking. Only thing I see is the combo campground and marina out on the Mohawk River, Glenville, I think it is. Anyone know of a closer or better place. Need a couple or three nights for DW to go shopping. All help appreciated.

RE: TAKE NOTE!! Jackson/Snake River KOA- Wyoming
Glad to add to the bash KOA club. Just stayed on two, one near Lexington, VA and the other out in the middle of nowhere off of I 81 in central PA. Both got $50/night for a pull thru with full hook-ups (50A). neither were near any big attraction. I did note on the customer survey but, also, have little hope of any change.

RE: white streaks
trickto322. Hi. The white streaks are from normal oxidation of the gelcoat. Solution is as previously noted. Seal the gelcoat with something like wax or polish, which you select will determine how long it lasts, the more difficult it is to apply, the longer it will last. Two years is about the max for a hard paste wax, less, maybe, in bright sunlight.
