We Are Still Looking For A Place To Move Too

Did you ever what the top of the world looked like? This is it in AZ. Us60 out of Globe and there it is.

We have been having some problems with our King Dome for some time. Today we worked on this for several hours. We had a conversation with tech support last Friday and we were asked to check the voltage at the wires in the unit on the roof. We were looking for a 12-18 volt dc but we found zero. Not good is it. This RV has a manual dish installed with the roof parts removed.

A King Dome was added later for automatic operation. When we added DTV last summer, it worked. And it worked all the way back to Texas. When we moved south last November, it stopped working. and didn't work till we got to San Angelo, see the posting.

I had always used the cable marked "satellite in" for the dome. There is a two way with wires that I finally disassembled and tied the wires back. These wires were unmarked. It turns out one of these wires is from the dome and the other was to the manual dish. I tried the wires purely as a last resort to see what happens.

Now all the wires are marked and tied. Oh, the King Dome works as it should with no problems. Now Shirley has her DTV with the tripod dish, four room lnb, and I have my DTV with the King Dome, single lnb. When te tripod is not set up, she has a two way switch to access the dome. Once we get to where we have park cable, I'll add a second two way to the wiring so we can have that and the DTV dish. Wheee, that makes me tired too.

So far the score is casino $12 and us, or me, zero. I did go to the driving range and work on my fairway woods and 60* wedge. I just cant get the 3 and 5 woods off the ground. The wedge practice came out fine. It will go about 50 yards when hit hard. And will go 3 feet when hit softly. Perfect for my short game.

We have been looking for boondocking up north but no luck yet. There is a place to go to but it has mid 20's at night. Much too cold yet. All the other parks are much higher than here. so we will stay . With the upcoming weekend holiday, we may stay here till next Monday.
All plans are subject to change though.
