  1. Call Neal Denison at Near North brokers. We use them for all our commercial goods and they can look after the import for you. They will tell you exactly what you need. https://www.borderdocs.com/brokers/brokerprofile?brokerID=3706 I know right now the border is an issue to go get it and carry back. If you can wait until the border opens, then ship to a freight location on US side and with the hand carry docs from broker you cruise right through. Might just be HST and no duty depending on commodity. Made in USA will help. Neal will advise. They have a driver in here in Sault Ste. Marie that goes over daily to carry goods across while we can’t. Get extra fee is $30 to $60 for that. The actual customs brokerage is not bad at all. They will give you a quote.
  2. Yes!! What a story Jim! Head you stuck yo it your patience is huge! I resemble that part Milk crate test drive. Lol mine was a Camp chair!
  3. Thanks. It’s really bugging me I can’t seem to get this in. I have elev avail to adjust it gets signal. It’s not skewed very much. I tried to do more but loose other sats. I’m sure it’s me the rookie. 🤦‍♂️
  4. Thanks I have tried some more and still not getting green check on 129 Signal locked. Around 45-50. I am using phone app to get close and got all three but 129 still a problem. Trees blocking me on EA but I’ll have to maybe get creative.
  5. Thanks Mark I have. Lock on 129 but no green check. It’s red x. signal 35
  6. We run a Hopper on Dish with traveler and Dph42. in RV. All good parked here. Moved into house and set up and aimed manual dish first time. Set up in house for summer and can’t get thru trees for EA but good sky to WA. I bought proper WA Dish with Hybrid three LNBs. Mounted on house. 110, 119, 129 signal is tad low. 45 and down to 35 some times on all three. tried for higher but had to balance We are located in UP Michigan Sault Ste Marie All programming comes in and guide builds. Locals come in good. Have 110 and 119 with green on diagnostics page other is redX. All three show locked. Issue is several channels only come in SD like NBCSN and a Fox sports ESPN, HGTV and more Locals are in SD because we are on WA HD on locals are on EA We did get all programming In HD except locals on the traveler. Signal was around the same. is there a certain sat I should focus on to get these in HD? It’s a battle to get more signal on one and not loose on others
  7. Good job Jim the new A/S expert! Go to Volvo for the Reman XY.
  8. June 21st is the current close date at boarder.
  9. Hey Jim while it could be related to the power supply if you have never changed the XY it would be a good choice. Those guys work hard and wear. It was a fix to several nagging and one stranding faults. recommend both.
  10. Hey Jim Tranny power supply. Runs from battery to ECU on tranny. Common issue on old A/S. I had issues years ago ended up being the XY shifter and Eaton suggested changing the power supply as well. No more issues again. Good thing is you know how to pull the floor panel up to get access. Both easy change. Go for it. Power supply wasn’t much and XY was a Reman with core was not terrible.
  11. We have had GS platinum since 2008. Had to have platinum even then to get HDT covered.

  17. Easy to do. Took me 45 min. To convert a friends.
  18. Have not owned a Curt but several friends have for your weight trailer and are very happy with them. 20k They bought online best price free shipping.
  19. We used FJ pilot 100% for years with the FJ rv card. Was good until TSD. We carry both but use TSD. $.08 cents off at FJ or....last fill it was $1.00 per gal at Loves with TSD. No brainer for me. Have found them to be clean and same as most FJ. Heck, saw some crappy FJ. Don’t really care. Im buying fuel. We plan our fuel stops well in advance and pick state and stop with best price Carry 200 gal in an HDT But hey, each to their own.
  20. Very good outlook Jay. Everyone wants these folks and place to be there next time when they want to return.
  21. Regarding your original question converting the traveler over to Dish I did one for a friend recently, just called Winegard sales and they walked me thru the steps in the control box to gather info they needed to be sure to order the right kit and it was comparable to work with Dish. The conversion was easy and took about 40 min.
