Update. Got new Tailgater delivered by Brown truck. Hooked it up and it launched right into startup just like it should. So, I am back in business. How the old one went bad just sitting in storage I have no idea. I did read in the new litterateur that they want you to hook up the Tailgater every 3 or 4 months to make sure it keeps moving. Maybe that has something to do with the last two going bad being that both did not work coming out of storage?
I will just ad that they got rid of the old loop that was very inadequate for a security hasp and they incorporated the handle into the pod so, you can just loop your security cable through the handle. Much better, as the crooks would have to destroy the dish to get it.
