2nd Trip

[Texas1949]

I took the Cruiser out this past weekend. No major issues. It got down to 38 degrees Friday night Saturday morning, heat worked great.
My son and daughter in law got me one of the director chairs with the attached side table for my birthday, it was very comfortable, may just have to get a couple more.
Had a good time just me the pups, a friend dropped by Saturday for Turkey burgers.

One issue was I bought the Winegard MP1 satellite dish and could not get a signal, the guy across from me brought his satellite finder over we still could not get a signal, guess I will return it and just get a regular dish and tripod.
Other issue was when I was at the dump station my new sewer hose (Rhino) came loose from the connection at the end that connects to the dump tube on the trailer... luckily it was just the grey water... could have been a mess, so back to camping world and make the exchanges this week.


I could get use to this kind of living.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and has a great week.

Mike, sounds like you are getting the bugs worked out and enjoying the new trailer. We head out early Friday morning for a month long hunting trip.

Looks like you are getting the hang of things. At least you're not letting the little things get you down. No reason to, it's part of the adventure

Hey Mike, I don't think you need to take the Rhino hose back. I have the same hose and it came a part on me too... In my case it was just the locking collar ring that came lose (some times you accidentally twist it when putting the hose on the rig. All you have to do, is screw the fitting back on to the hose and twist the locking collar back on. If I remember correctly, the locking collar twists the opposite direction of the hose... I hope that helps and congrats on a good second trip!

Mike, I have a Winegard MP1 and when I went to use it one time I had the same problem and same story. A guy came over to help and couldn't get anything while he had great reception. Turned out that my cable had a problem and not the dish. I changed the cable and it's worked great ever since.
The MP1 is not as good a receiver as the bigger dishes but they sure store nice and are handy.

X2 about the cable.

Had a problem a couple weeks ago. Tried everything I could think of with the exception of checking the cable connections (duh)'cause I'd never had a problem before. Sure enough, the coax had pulled away from the connector on the back of the set. How? don't know but replaced with a spare cable and problem solved. Sometimes it's just the smallest things....thankfully.

Thanks everyone. I know I will have all the bugs out in no time.

I am going to get 100' of new coax and give that a try for the satellite.

I will look at the sewer hose today and see if that is it.
I did try to screw it on when it came loose but it would not stay.
