Re: Beware Winegard Trav'ler if you want HD in Northeast
I was just in Maine fable or three weeks in July. Just north of Acadia. I used the Winegard manually for the 61 satellite and also locked onto 72. It also worked for me last year in Western Mass. Over the last few years have done the same in PA and NY in areas not receiving sat 129. Had the same result locking on to 61 and 72. You should manually look for 61 not 72 .I usually get 72 as a bonus.373Views0likes0CommentsRe: dual pane windows
I have a lot of experience with double pane windows in three fifth wheels. Six years on a 2000 Jayco Designer, 7 years on a HR Presidential Suite and one year on a 2015 Jayco Pinnacle. I have never had one have any condensation, nor have had any fail. These are all higher end fifth wheels and that may be the reason. In this time I estimate I have traveled more than 150,00 miles. There may be differences due to what type and quality of RV you have and what brand of double pane windows you have. I am completely satisfied with dual pane windows I have had and would never but an RV without them.525Views0likes0CommentsRe: which ladder
I have had a 14 foot Telesteps telescoping ladder for about five years with no p.roblems. I weight about 220 lbs. The ladder is rated for 300 lbs. You won't find the 14 foot ladder at Camping World. You can google to find construction supply companies that carry them. They are a little more expensive but well worth the cost for a heavy person like us.427Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dish network eastern arc???
Getting back to the Trav'ler. You cannot get a LNB for the eastern arc. However, you can manually tune to the 64 satellite and get almost all of the HD channels. At times, you may also get one of the other satellites (77 or 72) at the same time. If a channel you want is not on 64, then you will have to manually tune to the satellite where the channel is located. Manual mode means it will automatically find only the single satellite. Hope this helps.669Views0likes0Comments
