RE: Looking for long-term stay west side of Denver...
Have you looked at Dakota Ridge on Colfax? I had a buddy stay there about a year in a 5er while his house was being built.

RE: GS Trip planner
We used the old trip planner for years. I am really frustrated that GS took it away. The main reason we used it was to upload the trip to our GS GPS. That option is gone. As a result, we will just plan the trip on the GPS. I see no reason to use the new GS trip planner.

RE: East Texas love bugs
I cannot tell you about East Texas, but in Florida, this is the worst we have seen them in over 15 years. So far this breeding cycle has lasted nearly a month.

RE: WiFi Extenders that work for public WiFi routers
We run into this periodically with our PDQ Bullet. Sometimes you can repeatably try to open various pages on the internet. It takes patience, but eventually it will redirect to the login page to accept T&C.
Quite a few use Tengointernet. If you type "startmywifi" you will get the login.

RE: Alt Route to Edmonton
My last two trips up we crossed a sweetgrass. Easy and fast. There are not many pullouts where you can camp for free in Canada legally.
Our last stop in the US the last two times was in Shelby. We stop in Edmonton for a couple of days before heading up to Dawson Creek.

RE: Max tire pressure
In November, we drove a car up to Michigan for Thanksgiving (cold PSI was normal when we left). The temps got down into the negative teens. The low air pressure warning came on so I filled them to the cold level which was 44PSI. When we got back down to Southwest Florida, the cold PSI was 65 PSI. I guess you can add to the discussion...also depends on the ambient air temperature also.

RE: Redplacement Awning Fabric
Try Sailrite.com. We have been buying from them for many years for our boat canvas, outdoor furniture, etc. Even purchased our canvas sewing machine from them.
Great prices and selection.

RE: KVH Tracvision L3 will not rotate
Changing the sat on the HR24 should not affect the seeking. The power inserter and the tracvision should be powered up before the HR24.
On my Tracvision M3DX. I use the HR24-100. My settings are the 18x20 triple LNB, International, and Multiswitch. However, 18" Round will work but not switch to Sat119 for locals (just stays on 101).

RE: Roadside Assistance
"Available" got us in quite jam in 2014 when our Seneca broke down in Seward, Alaska.
We were still under warranty, and the only authorized facility was in Wasilla, Alaska.
The "Towing Service" refused to take us there.
Thank God for GEICO as they did the 170 mile tow without an issue.

RE: How to optimize my wifi reception while camping?
If you are just trying to improve signal strength, an extender/booster works. We use the PDQ Connect on our RV and Boat.
However, as others said the access to the internet at campgrounds is sometimes useless. I always say; the campgrounds advertise "free wifi". Notice they do not say "free internet". :-)

RE: Direct TV Genie System
We have what other have said with a little minor difference. We use our HR44, a wifi bridge and a mini genie in the master bedroom all using the Winegard Trav'ler dish.
Works great everywhere we go until we travel north past Dawson Creek BC.

RE: truck stops
Flying J has a debit card for rvers. With the goodsam and the debit card you receive 14 cents off per gallon at the truck lanes.

RE: Protective shield on a GMC Acadia
We use the Kargard without any issues to our Jeep. You could not drive the Toad with it even if you tried. It attaches to the Blue Ox tow bar not the Toad.
The only warning I give regarding the Kargard is that you cannot take tight turns while towing. I know this as we had an emergency turn (10,000 bridge not marked). We had to have the rear corners painted on the Dutchstar as the Kargard scratched them.

RE: Dish antenna ideas
The winegard Travlr receives HD from Directv. We have only lost signal a couple of times in very dense trees.

RE: 15% discount at Good Sam Parks
Kinda reminds me of all of those coupons...Must be presented before getting quote.
We always ask what the price is then say we have goodsam. We have been told several times in our travels, "we no longer offer a goodsam discount" even though they are in the book. We just find another campground.

RE: swim box
The reason you are getting that error is that the SWM needs to connect to the dish before the DVR. We get that once in a while on our 2016 Dutchstar. My SWM is in the electronics cabinet where I installed a power strip to turn it off then on.
You might be able just cut all power AC and DC to the coach to reboot everything.

RE: Tifton Georgia
When we head out of Florida, we leave pretty early and stop at Twin Oaks in Elko, GA. Very nice and easy in out pull throughs. Toad stays hooked up. They have a pool and hot-tub that we have not used, but still a nice overnight stop.

RE: Good Sam Trip Planner almost unusable.
Keith,
Did you clear your browsing history? What versions of Safari and MacOS are you using?
As I stated earlier, it is working fine for me using 2018 MacBook Pro, MacOS Mojave and Safari. Both with current updates.
