Here is my post about the Garmin vs the TomTom: Garmin vs TomTom WoodGlue

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, our RV Superbag arrived. We have been using a Bedmaid for a few years and have now slept in both and can comment as to the qualities each provides. Bedmaid $239.00 We have thoroughly enjoyed this product. The added ease it affords when folding up the bed and deploying the convertible sofa is a real hit. The sheet is removable for washing and attaches to the comforter with velcro strips. The comforter has two sides, one for winter that is thicker and the other...

Stableloads lowers changed my rig from a swaying, white knuckle ride, to a stable easy to drive camper. I was able to drop the airbag pressure from 50ish to 25ish, which combined with the engaged overload spring, made a big difference.

Maybe it's a Mars vs. Venus thing. And if you are unsure which planet you are from, there is a button on the display that reverses the view, like looking in a mirror (or not). See which view you are most comfy with.

Yes, here’s the Directv link. You have to go thru one of their vendors, not sure if you can just add it to your home account. Equipment looks to be more expensive than Dish and you may have to lease the receiver vs. owning the Dish Receiver. The other disadvantage with Directv is their RV satellite dishes only get SD signals, Dish gets both SD and HD. https://www.directv.com/DTVAPP...jsp?assetId=P6730097

Also, DirectTV will be discontinuing all SD service in February 2019. I’m not sure what all the current owners of the SD equipment are going to do but I imagine they will be switching to Dish.

Back in September I changed out the stock toilet in our camper, a Thetford Aqua Magic V hand flush for a Thetford Aqua Magic Residence foot flush. After two camping trips with the new toilet Cyndi and I both agree it was a good change. Here is the stock toilet I removed. And here is the new toilet. Staying with the same brand helped to eliminate any dimensional problems. I looked at some of the offerings from Dometic but there would have been a clearance issue between the toilet and the back...

From the manufacturer: The X-Chock Provides added stabilization and prevents tire shifts by applying opposing force to tandem tire applications. As opposed to other chocks, the X-Chock works with the tires’ natural movement instead of against them. Fits even the tightest of applications retracting down to 1 3/8” and extends to 10”. Rust inhibitive coating. Plated ratchet wrench with comfort bumper included. Lightweight, easy to store. Lockable for added security with optional 28015 Pad Lock.

Yes, it's illegal in California (and a bunch of other states) to suction cup mount anything to the right hand side of the drivers wheel. It looks like California may have amended the law - they now allow you to mount something in the lower left corner of the windshield. But what does "door to door operation" actually mean (see below) https://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc26708.htm Google: "GPS mounting state laws" and find the info for your own state, and the states that you plan to visit!

BigE, that's great that only one 2000iQ will run your A/C at 2600'! However, as you point out, altitude will impact it. While the specifics depend on engine type (2 cycle vs 4 cycle) and carburated vs fuel injected, a rough figure is about 3% power loss per 1000 ft elevation from sea level. It isn't exactly linear at lower altitudes, but when you get up to 6000-7000 ft, it is very noticeable. For example, my 2000iQ runs my 900W microwave (that's output in the microwave; the input power is...
