Re: Garmin RV 760LMT
I absolutely hate my 760LMT compared to the TomTom it replaced. I guess in short I find it much harder to enter info and have it take me the way I want to go. A few weeks ago I had a address I wanted it to find and it couldn't. I called Garmin and it took their tech 3 trys to figure out how to enter the data to make it map correctly.562Views0likes0CommentsRe: Do ATT & Verizon Limit Towers for PayGo Phones
I have also been thinking of switching to another service as my AT&T at the house here is weak. But it's only since the trees here in the woods have leaved out. My son has Verizon and has less signal here than I do with AT&T. I think both are on the same tower just over a mile from the house. A few weeks ago I was getting dropped calls here at the house I called AT&T about it, they did call me back and said they found a problem on the tower and would repair it. I still have a weak signal but no longer get dropped calls.579Views0likes0CommentsRe: Winnebago Roof Inspection
The sealant has lost it's bond to the one side. That's why you can push the tooth pick in there, the seam is open and water can get in. My best guess is to clean all the old caulk out and re-caulk or cover the seam with Eternabond. CVD wrote: All - thanks for the feedback. A couple more questions: I’ve read the Winnebago Service tip (thanks emiddleb). I've since washed the roof, then got on a ladder and inspected that seam (pushing for gaps or bubbles) all the way around the coach. I’ve got a gap, but it’s very small and is consistent along both sides of the coach. At the very bottom of the fiberglass, where it tucks under the awning rail (J bar), I can push in a tooth pick just a little. If I push on the fiberglass, I can create a gap just large enough push the toothpick further in. It’s consistent like this all the way around (no bubbles or larger gaps). Two questions: 1) It looks to me like the factory sealed the fiberglass on the underside only. I’m thinking this small gap on the outside of the fiberglass has been there from day one and is to be expected (see pics below). Correct? What confuses me is the diagram in that Service Tip, showing sealant on the outside of the fiberglass (inside the awning rail). I have no sealant there (don’t think I ever did). 2) If this gap does indicate a problem and sealant is needed on the outside of the fiberglass, do I clean it out with a toothpick? There isn’t room for a toothbrush or even a popsicle stick. Thanks, Cliff A small gap between the bottom of the fiberglass and the awning rail. A tooth pick only slides in a 1/2": If I push in on the fiberglass, the toothpick goes in a little further:289Views0likes0CommentsRe: Winnebago Roof Inspection
Just press on the roof piece where it tucks in and see if the seam opens. You will need to go all the way along both sides pressing and looking for a opening. You can not tell the seam is open just by looking at it. It helps if you go down both sides with cleaner and a brush and clean it good before checking for a opening.290Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sleeping on a folding sofa/bed
I've never seen any couch in any RV that I could get a decent nights sleep on. If you don't sleep well the whole trip can be a bad experience. Sure you can pile on the padding and it helps but what a pain to have to find a home for all that padding during the day and then have to haul it out at night again. I'd rather sleep on the floor where at least it's smooth.131Views0likes0Comments
