RV Sleeping Systems Shootout, Bedmaid vs. RV Superbag
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...

See which view you are most comfy with.

Re: king VQ4500 Tailgater for Dish Network with Wally Recevier
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.

Thetford Aqua Magic Residence RV Toilet
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...

Re: Smarter Tools 2000iQ Generator
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...
