Just a coax cable, but I liked the 90 degree built in fitting. Makes sense for my trailer. If you subscribe to the 90 degree theory on the fitting for city water, it makes sense for coax too. We'll see.

Totally. All of that data pressure, particularly with today's insane bandwidth speeds and continuous fluctuation can weaken the joint in no time.

Nobody should ever have to to clean up from a broken COAX spewing raw data all over a clean RV.


(seriously - 90 degree coax connectors look great and make for a nice clean fit)

Well this is exciting!! Put on new springs on the rear HWH leveling jacks to make them active again after being stubborn and Snappads on all 4 feet. All is well with the world. Sweet deal!!!

Getting things working again!

I am a happy camper! (but I am looking for Moe, Larry, and Curly)
Been working on my Bounder's Onan Marquis Gold 5500 generator. It would only run 15-20 minutes and stop...
Started with a new fuel pump (std issue that the fuel pump mount doesn't line up like original and need modification), filter, and fuel line from fuel pump to carb filter. Then found line from fuel tank was kaput from age and leaking... had to figure out how to stop leaking fuel long enough to go to the part house for new line...which took 2 trips...since the guy didn't give me the 7ft I asked for, but only 5 ft!... then replaced the line (again, quick as a bunny to keep the full 75 gallon tank from completely leaking out)... then found out that the new filter on the fuel pump was defective and leaking, so replaced with the previous fuel filter.... THEN found the carburetor fuel filter was leaking also, when started, which is a known issue from Onan. Ordered the replacement part from Amazon (a straight thru pipe) Next day delivery... Amazon guy delivers an open, EMPTY, bag... takes 2 hours to get Amazon to realize their error and then have to reorder... but they can no longer deliver in one day.... Final part arrived a little while ago... took 10 min to pull the old filter, put the replacement part in, hook up fuel line and fire the generator up.... with the A/C running.... it has been running for 1.5 hours, in 99 degree weather... without a hitch..... FINALLY!!!! Yeah!

So, we are almost there. Over a year in planning and then battling with code enforcement. It has power and all of the plumbing should be done tomorrow and we know now how well she fits.

Boy, I hear ya! I have these roadmaster cables (supplied by the installer) The big hook with spring loaded retainer is a royal pain! It doesn't fit around the holes in the receiver with the retainers in the way. I just switched over to two more of the threaded quick links.

I hope you never have to use them!

But, probably kinda hard to come by at the location you first need them.

Take care,
Stu

A collapsable ladder. Folds up, to about 4"x6"x6'. Sometimes I even use it for work at [Mod Edit]a tree service company.

Led bulbs to repair my indicator lights that do not work, burnt out.

Two new switches to fix my driver and passenger side shade issues, they go down but not up.
Now they work both ways.

Bought and installed this 2x2 Mimo antenna with TS-9 Jacks to help my 7730L Verizon hotspot and possibly for my Nighthawk hotspot. https://amzn.to/2AOTo3U So far only tested while in front of the house. It changed the bars from 2 to 5 which was impressive. It did not change the download speed, but it made the upload speed about 20% faster, from 25 Mbps to 30 Mbps which means to me the antenna is really helping and should really help when on the fringe of cell service. The testing was obviously in a big city using my FMCA $50 jetpack plan. -Bill
