Really stupid question cc directv/satellite, etc
Okay, people. I am TOTALLY confused when it comes to television. Here is what we have in our house: Genie Gen 2 HR44-200 I am wondering how to get Directv in my RV. I'm assuming I need a Winegard. My son told me that this receiver is high def and I would need a high def portable satellite. Is that true? Thanks, Susie3.9KViews0likes32CommentsPower Awning
We have had several different kinds of awnings on various motorhomes including Girard which we liked. We now have manual and are going to replace it with electric. I saw the 9100 listed (A&E, Dometic) and also Carefree, which in reality nothing is. What kind of awning would you recommend if price was not an obstacle and why? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.4.7KViews0likes24CommentsRe: Power awning question

As owner of 6 different motorhomes, I would lean toward the person who suggested looking hard at a good, reliable Class C, large enough to tow either car or trailer, small enough to be economical whehter diesel or gas, prefeaably diesel. We had the biggest Class A on the road at 47' yes 47' although registered as 45' with DD 515 and a small Class B with Mercedes 5 cyl. No comparison in fuel mileage, 6 vs 21. Finally settled on Super C, larger than the Ford 450 or 550 both of which are appealing. Just saw a new one from Four Winds alonside a big Chevy Jayco Seneca. Now have 06 Dynamax with Cat engine because of fuel needs in Mexico where low sulphur is not yet in play and US ordered conversions to engines in 07. For your purposes, ask more questions, get more answers.567Views0likes0CommentsRe: RV Newb In Need of Advice
Lots of issues for first time besides cost but good to have a budget. Make another list of questions besides those you asked that might come from all the responses you got thus far. Then, do your research by visiting a few dealers and private sellers but do not let them suck you into a "deal" We have 20 yrs exp with RV's, now on our 6th one, and always buy used after bugs have been ironed out. Get someone experienced to go with you to look at a coupe that you might find through various searches online. I have looked all over a wide region, even nationally, to find the one I wanted, had my specs fairly well defined, and condition should always come into play. Lightly used and well maintained is best and many have not been abused, some have. Good luck and if you want more details, let me know.385Views0likes0Comments
