Re: Thinking about changing from DirecTV to Dish
Dropped DIRECT in December after 23 years. Went down hill the minute AT&T purchased them. Customer service terrible,big rate increases every year, and they are slowly dropping satellites. I read a article that stated AT&T's vision was that all TV would be streaming within 5 years so satellites will not be needed. All standard definition will be gone mid year and everyone will be forced to HD. When I asked about upgrading the RV the answer was that they don't do installs on a RV. Could not get the equipment without a install that they won't do and I repeatedly stated that I don't need a install. They would not send equipment. 23 years of being loyal customer and setting up my own dish every time I have camped in the past didn't count. Very few people remember that back in 1995/96 when system first came out that they were all self installed with a kit. So far been really happy with COMCAST at home and just plain over the air antenna when camping. Will talk to DISH if I decide I need it when camping. Randu403Views0likes0CommentsRe: Jayco quality?
2017 Jayco North Point 381DLQS Built in January 2017 and purchased new July 2017. Live in MI and work so only April-Oct season of extended weekends and a week here and there. I have towed 7134 miles in the year and a half and only 1 issue that went back to a very lame dealer. DEALER IS KEY in getting warranty stuff fixed. Had 5th wheels since 95 and work on everything that I can as I have more confidence in my repairs than many dealers. Overall I think the quality and features for the price are a good value and I really like mine. Issues: 1. Bubbles in living slide out roof and Bedroom AC not working on high-Went back to dealer. 2.Loose trim, wavy carpet line, Re-route bathroom faucet hose to not bind in drawer -- simple DYI repairs. 3. Weak brakes- DYI Saturday project to pull wheels to discover three had grease in drums from someone blowing rear seals at factory with the zert fitting. $8.00 in seals and a can of brake clean plus cleaning and hand packing bearings. All in the 1st 2000 miles, Trouble free after. ALL GOOD in the life of a RV'er. Randu436Views0likes0CommentsRe: eternabond vs flex seal tape for fixing rv freshwater tank
MrWizard wrote: I think somebody posted flexseal is the new name for Eternabond for some markets Compare the pricing, same price same stuff Half price , not the same I work for the company that owns Eternabond. Flexseal IS NOT a new name for Eternabond ANYWHERE ! Flexseal is completely different company (Competition) and not even close in performance.

Bird Freak wrote: I have used both. There is no comparison. Eternabond last. Flex seal is a joke. Completely Agree-- Not really designed for what your attempting but if it works, It will be with the Eternabond. I would take some fine sandpaper to the tank side to rough it just slightly to give the Eternabond some texture to grip. Randu442Views0likes0CommentsRe: Beware Directtv Genie2
Not sure exactly of models but I have Genie whole home DVR and HD in the house with a main box and a slave box. I have had it about 3 years. IN the RV I have a old Standard Def Reciever that must be about 10 years old with a old 3 headed dish. All same account. Thinking about upgrading the RV to HD but don't want to lug around the larger HD Dish. Randu606Views0likes0Comments
