I just bought a 30ft RV. Where can I find useful information on satellite
television, internet connection, and mobile phone? I will not be a full
timer and want to consider each on an as needed basis. Just remember I'm new
to this, please no techno jargon.

I bought a smaller 1970 Sportscraft Tent Trailer. It¹s in great shape. I
was wondering if anyone knows the history of Sportscraft and if they are
still around. Contact information would be great. I think it was made in
Manitoba. I¹m seeking a canvas kit.

I am looking to buy a used brake buddy.

Well, we've been up north of Gothic for a while now, in a lovely flat
spot above a waterfall.  About a mile from Emerald Lake.  Fields of

    As I said before I ordered a new antenna replacement for the one that
had gone out on my last trip.  It was the Winegard type.  I checked
everything including the instructions ! (GASP)  Instructions said no
repairable parts.  So order a new one I did.  Got the new one in and

Does anyone have knowledge on the structural integrity of the ultra light
travel trailers.  I am considering a Rockwood 8272s but don't know whether

I am a former RVer with a class A. This rig had AC that cycled on and off
depending on the cooling need.  Now I have a small TT with roof air.
When cooling, the compressor cycles, the fan runs constantly when the unit
is on. In a small TT, this is really noisy.  Can these AC's ...

OK, presuming I eventually get this ^%$#@%^ 3/4 ton truck, I believe I've got a
new problem...  My current Dodge 1500 4X2 is around 50 - 51" at the top of the
