I just received my TST Wide Screen color monitor yesterday and got it up and running on the bench. Wow! The display is real nice with larger digits and added color. However, I do have a few issues I'd like to report. The new monitor is now powered by a 5 volt mini plug just like what one uses for their smart phone (Android, not Apple). This presents a challenge as I had the previous 12 volt monochrome monitor's power cord hard wired into the overhead console in my Tundra which was a nice...

At lunch today, we got reacquainted with several couples from last years rally... Al & Mary Alice, Roger & Nancy, Bill & Camilla, and Bill Hill - Lance representative.

Here's how our tent looks in our living room. We're going to fold it up in a few minutes and pack it away for our trip to the Badlands, South Dakota, next week. Don

We just retired our Clam after about 3 years of use. Out of the 3 years it's probably been set up over half that time. We've used it at home, camping and gate guarding in South Texas. Understand the Texas sun is brutal as are summer storms. Overall this is a good product, easy, as said by others, to setup, good in higher winds if staked well. Downsides are the material has suffered badly in the sun, does and has always leaked at the roof seams ( not bad, but enough to be annoying), and...

Just ordered our own. We have canopies on our truck here in AK as well as the one in the Lower 48. Hitching is always troublesome. I had planned to wait till we reunited with our trailer to buy, but then I went out into the driveway here in AK to hitch up the boat.... Dawning of the light! Buy it here, use it for the boat, then pack it for the trip south and use for the trailer. Why own two units when this one is so mobile?

Bad news came in the form of a jury summons today. U.S. District Court on March 22. It says I need to be available for 30 days so I am changing my status to a Maybe. I have never been selected for a jury but there is always a first time. This really goofs up our plans for our annual April Hill Country getaway. Maybe I'll get lucky.

Tell the judge you have reservation on a cruise! Worked for me! Bob

Most courts will allow you to reschedule your time, as long as you aren't trying to get out of service.

I use the tailgator and have been in some heavy rain without any issues, the only time I haven't gotten a signal is when my site was heavily wooded and once when there was a hill in the way but even with the hill it picked up one of the two satellites.

Hi Rob, Thanks for the information -- we'll probably follow your advice irt arrival date. We're coming from Green Valley, south of Tucson about 30 miles. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

That's awesome! We will be in site 117, plan on evening get togethers at our site, byob. We will be there late in the afternoon on the 6th. To the 12th. Rob & Jayne

FYI there is a significant gain in elevation 2610 ft. between Payson at 4890 ft. and Aspen Camp at 7500 ft. You will know that as you chug up that last hill to reach the top of the rim. It will be a lot cooler than Yuma Sgt.
