RE: West Virginia
You can "kill two birds with one stone" here. Try the KOA in Harpers Ferry. Lots of interesting history and you can take a side trip to Gettysburg. The new visitors center at Gettysburg is fantastic.

RE: Why people can't afford to travel this year.
Gotta agree. I hate whiners. If you can't afford it then get out or step down. I don't want to hear about it.....

RE: Great spot within 6 hours of Kansas City
Roaring River State Park is pretty neat. Really nice pool, hiking, and trout fishing. Good luck.

RE: Linksys WRT54G3G-AT & AC875
Unfortunately I'm pretty much stuck....
Thanks again. I'll keep working with 3G guys for a resolution. I really want to do this as I have big plans for saving money, i.e. Vonage, cancelling DSL, etc. I want to make my $60.00 per month unlimited data plan worthwhile. I guess I could take the big leap and buy a new one off of ebay and hope to recoup the price. SIM card will transfer to most any device.....

RE: Linksys WRT54G3G-AT & AC875
Good news Alex, I didn't realize you were with 3G store. I've been working with Torrey. No resolution yet and I've been messing with it all afternoon. I looked at profiles on "Watcher" program. There are two, one is automatic and the other is manual connect. The automatic profile is as follows:
Profile name: AT&T
Username: ISPDA@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1
APN: isp.cingular
connection type: Autoconnect
PDP Type: IP
MCC/MNC: 310410
So I tried "Custom" on parameters and entered the above info. Still no good. I guess we'll have to try another unit? Thanks again.

RE: Linksys WRT54G3G-AT & AC875
Thanks Alex for the input. You did know that this is AT&T (cingular) not EVDO? I think the "ST" version is for EVDO...mine is the "AT" version, HSDPA. Let me know please if you have tried the AC875, Cingular version, in a "AT" model.
Thanks

Linksys WRT54G3G-AT & AC875
Just received a brand new Linksys Router for my Sierra Wireless AC875 wireless broadband card. Purchased from the 3G store at a very good price. The card works perfectly in my Dell laptop on 3G, HSDPA service. When I insert the card into the router it will not connect. All lights on the card indicate power, cellphone signal, etc. It just won't connect. I have upgraded the firmware, etc. on both pieces of equipment. Several hours on the phone with a foreign speaking accented service tech from Linksys did not help. She finally told me that the router was probably defective, which I wonder about.
My question: Does anyone have this same equipment and does it work correctly? According to 3G store most folks use the "ST" Sprint version. If you have this rig working I would like to know if you entered any special "APN" data, passwords, usernames, etc. to gain a connection. Thanks

RE: Looking for Quality 5er
To answer your question and not make judgements on your decision, I would recommend you look at the Nuwa line of models. The Hitchhiker II series is extremely well made, relatively light, and has a good service record. The 29.5LKTG and 29.5FKTG are shorter (31') and can be towed with a 3/4 ton vehicle. Triple slides make these units very liveable. You can go to www.nuwaowners.org for a fairly unbiased forum of Nuwa owners. Good luck.

RE: Is It The Power Converter?
The statement that the batteries charged indicates that the batteries are OK. Yes, converter is probably bad. Get out the voltmeter and check the output of the converter...it should be around 14Vdc. Best way would be to take the cover off of the converter and check the big red and black wires....Good luck.

RE: Tires, For a Fifth Wheel What Would You Buy
Put Michelin XPS RIB's on TV. 235/85-R16 LT. Have Uniroyal Laredo's, same size, on 5ver. 2006 model and tires had 1995 date codes, so they are 13 years old. Still plenty of tread but cracking, otherwise no problems. Am replacing with Goodrich Commercial's T/A from SAM's for 127.00 each. Hope this helps.

RE: Getting rig out of yard
The final straw was when I was pulling the rig through the gate into the back yard I got stuck with the rig halfway through. I was in a real pickle, unhooked the truck but couldn't get it out of the back yard because rig was halfway through gate. What a muddy mess. Had to wait a week for the ground to dry up, then re-hooked and finally got it into yard. Left huge ruts, and when backing around rig wheels tore up the yard. As I stated, I moved it next to the house. Worth every penny.....Crushed gravel would have probably worked instead of the concrete. You might consider a driveway from the street to the backyard?

RE: Getting rig out of yard
Not much you can do....I had the same problem. Finally bit the bullet and moved the 5ver to another location, poured cement, removed trees, and spent a lot of money. I can now back down the driveway, curve around onto the new drive and park next to the house on a cement pad. After filling ruts and getting the TV unstuck I finally saw the light. good luck..

RE: RVing in the Rio Grande Valley....Llano Grande
There are lots of other golf courses in the RGV. I didn't really care that much for the one at Llano Grande anyway.

RE: Harpers Ferry, WV KOA
Just got back....I wouldn't recommend the newer sites if your are looking for a "camping" experience. No trees and the workers stay in that area, plus not worth the extra cost. We started out there and moved to the wooded pull thru sites. We ended up in #165. Very nice for our 32' 5th wheel. Those 160 sites are nice and easy pull thru's. No cable, but I did manage to get a satellite signal through the trees. Sites in this area were gravel and reasonablly level. I always take some boards for leveling. I liked the KOA and the Harpers Ferry area, very interesting.

RE: Hi! New to forum....any suggestions on new fifth-wheel?
I don't want to start a war here but the HH is considered by some to be a better rig than what you mentioned. You can go to www.nuwaowners.org for some help with new furniture, etc. good luck
