Re: Good Sam RV GPS
We've been using the Good Sam GPS for over a month now. Haven't used it yet for an RV trip (not before April of this year), but we did take it with us to Atlanta, GA over Christmas. So far, we're very pleased with it. We've been configuring it for the points of interest (gas stations, restaurants, etc.) we want it to display while we're on the road. We've used the wi-fi feature to connect through my cell phone and get real-time weather reports and forecasts, which is nice. We've also used...

Alls well that flushes well. I like the extra height. How is it with skid marks ?

Re: Torklift Lower StableLoads on a 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 towing a Lance 1575
Giles - No WDH/sway control with our small/light properly loaded/balanced 1575. Just the coupler on the ball. I did not have to change the ball height. The StableLoads when installed correctly keep the rear end at about the same height when there is nothing hitched up. You are ALWAYS welcome to stop by and see my setup in person. If you have any questions fire away. Does your truck already have the silly factory circular stops installed? If so, you won't need to drill anything which is a...

Yeah, the stops are installed so it should be a piece of cake thanks to your in depth descriptions and pictures! I fear I am going to have to go through and re-adjust the ball height. When I put the trailer on the ball it sags quite a bit. The WDH helps a bit and brings things level, but I think I'd like to see what effect these Stableloads will have. I'm open to readjusting the ball height if it eliminates the sag; if I can keep it level; and if it tows better (which will be wonderful--it...

Re: Nature's Head Composting Toilet
Jim, I think you could accomplish your mod. What you would need to do would be to buy two liquids jugs. Modify one of them by inserting a bottom drain. From the bottom drain you'd connect the line. You'd have to drill out the bottom side of the main unit and make a slit about 2 times the height of the line. Then you'd need to rout out a bit of the floor to accommodate the line as it feeds back under the head to drain into the black tank. The Oatey plug that you'd use to cap the tank will...

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: Torklift Lower StableLoads on a 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 towing a Lance 1575
I'm arranging for install this week and was wondering if you had done any measurement on the change of the hitch ball height before and after the final asymmetrical install? I'm hoping for a 1/2" increase in the ball height as well as settling the front end a bit. Thanks for the detailed report!

Re: Torklift Lower StableLoads on a 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 towing a Lance 1575
HS - Since our rig (1500 pulling a light 1575) was already level and I only needed to remove a small amount of bouncing/porpoising I never measured the top of the ball height. Even with 3 & 3 wedges (the max) everything still sat & towed level. The issue was that the ride was too stiff. I went to 3 & 2 wedges and all is truly perfect. 3 & 2 wedges is the perfect amount of wedges to keep the springs exactly where they sit with no load on our truck. If I were you I would get a...

Winegard G2 Portable Satellite Dish
It's all that and a bag of chips! It is compatible with Dish (in HiDef) DirecTV (Standard Def only) and Canada's Bell. Set up is a breeze, just hook up the RG6 cable to the little inlet on the side of the RV, and hook it in a 12v outlet, or do what I did and buy the 12v to 110 converter. Put the satellite dish somewhere you can get a clear view of the southern shy and you're good to go. Inside wiring is easy. If you want Dish Network HDMI, just hook the box into the TV using the extra HDMI...
