My list needs filling with more Newell Friends !!!

This Rally is worth every cent of the Enormous Fee* that we are charged and encourage anyone who has not hung out with this crowd to take advantage of this once a year, now sacred tradition ....


* a contribution of Friendship and dirty hands .....

Saw this over on Escapees. All America Direct is going out of business on 2-25-14. I emailed Dish to see if they will offer another DNS option.
I may have to switch to Direct TV. We tried the locals from Dish before and it's a pain to call each time we move.
Couple questions about Direct TV, we have a single LNB in-motion satellite so how many different satellites does Direct use for their programming?
Dish uses 3 for all SD & HD.

I spent a ton of time and money on headlights, associated wiring and such to be able to drive at night. Now that I am retired, I hardly if ever drive at night.

so, a curiousity poll. How many of you do night driving?

I believe this is the coach that came to Spearfish last year that he was selling.

Has anybody found an led replacement for the patio lights?
I think it is an 1142 bulb that has 2 terminals.

Several months ago I asked for any photos that anyone had from the Spearfish rally. Several sent photos to me and I had considered producing a DVD of the event, but frankly I do not have enough to work with. Therefore, I am combining the photos of individuals that were taken the last day with the photos that Scott took of the coaches. Attached are several that I have completed and I will produce more this week. Some of you may find them useful as your photo on this forum, and I will have 8" x 10" prints at the Arkansas rally.
                       

This coach, http://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2008-New...BLET=false.

Used to be Nascar drivers Jimmie Johnson's not real ideal for a couple because of lack of a passenger seat and wall behind driver BUT I was told it can be bought for under 400k... If anyone is looking.. I don't care for the interior and I can't spend that much but if I could go 350 it might be a steal!

Ok I have found a stacker trailer I want ,has air ,heat and a 12 kW genset..Hope to get in next couple of weeks.. We have 6 kids and some times the Newell could get a little cramped.. I'm considering ordering some fold away bunks that mount on the side of the trailer. But I'm also considering adding a very basic bathroom.. That way when we go somewhere the kids can stay in the trailer and at least have a restroom too. Kinda like doubling your sleeping space in the car hauler.. Any idea what it would cost to add a shower btoilet setup in a 3x6 ft area?..

Second question. I'm still considering the hot tub idea.. Would it be hard to use the buddy plug on the Newell to give the hot tub the 220 it needs?

We have 2 8D' for engine batteries and 2 8D's for house batteries. When plugged in to shore power, merge is always on as per Newell recommendation.
I check H2O levels every 4-6 weeks. I have one house battery that has been consistently taking 2-3 times more H2O than the other 3 batteries. All 6 cells are maintaining equal H2O levels in this battery. Any ideas?
