I just bought a tow bar, new baseplate, invisibrake, cables, all kinds of wiring. I checked prices at CW (you know what CW means) I ended up buying from somebody else. I tell you, I have been a member of CW for a long time, they constantly want you to renew the membership, you buy their membership because you think that you are going to save money and in the end they don't give a hill of beans about making sure that your membership counts. After buying all the above equipment buying from CW would have cost me over $300.00 more than buying from an e-merchant. I had to pay $48.00 for two day shipping but no tax. Got the Invisibrake for the same price that CW and when I mentioned to them that the e-merchant had the same price no membership needed, The person at CW said they could do better if they did the installation, with install, $2100.00 because it takes nearly 8 hrs of labor, I installed it myself in less than 8 hrs., after this experience, I am ready to cancel my membership in CW. I will write them a letter and inform them why. But lets face it guys, we are being taken advantage of and If we start buying elsewhere as a group, they either line up or close down. All it takes is the power of the purse. There, I did my venting now I am happy and will continue from now on to buy my RVing stuff elsewhere.

In 1974 we went to Beech Bend park in Kentucky. There was a small camping store there. (about 50 ft by 50 ft) I thought this was the neatest place. I bought a cruise control for my 1972 Open Road motorhome. The guy that owned the campground had allowed his son to start the store in one of the buildings. This was the start of camping world. They do have their problems, but I still love to look at all the neat stuff in the stores.

We bought a carpet runner and door mat for the coach. I can't wait until we've got the money to rip out this carpet. I hate it.

3 pc carpet set from CW. 2 weeks later while shaking them outside, the binding ripped off!

We've had 2 sets of these over a year and they still look brand new

We bought our new jayco 31v in Feb & I am finding great things at garage sales: outdoor rug, folding chairs, kitchen stuff, tree limb saw, dvds, etc all in excellent condition!

Not sure what you call an RV, but a boat is a hole in the water you shovel money in to either maintain it or increase your living quality of life. So with that prophetic nonsense done with, we now have a pair of Camco wrenches to disassemble the stinky slinky fittings as well as a new patio carpet.

2 - Removeable Marinco power cord
3 - Bighorn 3500# power tongue jack
4 - King jack tv antenna

Can only post 4 pictures

DISH Wally receiver and a KING Tailgater to supplement the roof dish. All up and running. However have not figured out the routing of the Tailgater coax entering the coach and getting to the receiver.

New sun shield cover for the windshield and side windows

2014 Honda CR-V. It already has a tow package and an installed Stay-IN-Play DUO. And a requirement of the DW, heated seats.

peggwn · 04-10-2017, 10:37 PM

We just ordered 2 replacement GSNI-2300-120 Gas springs for the bed, keeping the DW happy, and a Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C 30A to install in the electrical bay, keeping me happy. I can't wait to get both installed.

I did mine to the coax in the wet bay. That went to my weingard switching box try it it may work.

I bought 7 new batteries. All AGM 6-6v Lifeline 6v 220 AH Deep Cycle Sealed AGM Battery GPL-4CT. . And one Exide FP-AGM65 AGM 910 CA 750 CCA 70 AH Group 65.

I will have them on Thursday and get them all delivered and installed for $75.00 bucks. Sure would nice if it was only $75.00 for all of the batteries, we can only dream.
