I have no problems recording shows to watch later but it's like going to a buffet, when I get there I will see what looks good right then. Well, I am sitting here right NOW. What is on right NOW that I want to watch? Show me a list to look through but don't send me to the buffet and tell me I have to know whether I want the fish, the steak or the chicken before I get in the restaurant. I want to wander, see what looks good and I'll decide then. I want a list of what is on to watch, by channels or any other way but show me a list. How hard is that? Well obviously it must be difficult....but it isn't hard for my satellite. If I can't make up my mind I can get some chicken AND some steak..watch one and record another but I still wanna see my choices.

Thanks y'all. Guess I need to check out DirecTV Now.

But using that method, you HAVE to know what program you want to see. With a program guide I might see something and think to myself, "Self, what is that program on that channel. I've never heard of it but it sounds interesting. I think we will watch that." Meanwhile Carlos, who isn't limited to the silly program guide remains clueless about this new program? Well, that sounds like a wonderful replacement to my satellite and it's program guide.....NOT. Thank you for avoiding the question I asked and telling how YOU do it. Obviously you failed to grasp the concept of my question. I asked asks something I wanted to know, not they way YOU think I should do the thing I asked about. LMAO...I'll have to go check my silly program guide and check those out. The Cat Training network sounds interesting.

Ok, so somebody give me an education. If I go to streaming TV online, I walk in and sit down in my chair turn on the Tv and I want to browse a channel guide that shows me my favorite channels (ION, FX, WGN, A&E, SYFY USA, TNT, Animal Planet, FXX, AMC, History Channel and a few more) where do I find this? And what streaming service will get me ALL of those channels and the locals? And what does this cost?

That is where I have you beat. I live at an Onan service center. They will hopefully keep it running well for me. I'm heading to Herrin next week to get the stinger(?) built to house mine. With any luck, by this time next month I will be running a 7.5kw Onan QD when I need it. I just wish I could have mounted mine the way you did...or under the right side fairing...oh well, Plan A, B and C shot to hell, on with Plan D.

LOL, you know I've been through 5 hurricanes, 4 in a sticks and bricks and 1 in my RV with a dish mounted on a pole. I've lost the roof off the garage and had more 60 feet plus tall trees fall on my property than I can remember but I've never once needed my dish re-aligned.

I wish you would quit posting this picture. I get so jealous everytime I see it!!

Clean looking install. That's nice.

I don't think a 10 or 12k would fit behind the fairing and if it did you would have to do a lot of alteration to the truck, not just modify but alter the entire system that holds on the fairings. I wasnt willing to do that much alteration to try and fit my 7.5k in there.

I carried a small 30amp portable in the space you listed for years. I'm on the process of installing an diesel Onan on my truck that is too big for that space. I'll convert that to storage I guess if I can find a water tight case/container to put there. Pictures here. I'm just curious why you didn't go with a diesel generator? I know I did mine because that portable generator was a gimme, and I knew it wasn't permanent. Your post mentions adding a 6 gallon gas tank but you could run a diesel genset for days if you attached it to your trucks fuel tanks. There are several small enough to fit in the space you are looking at that could easily supply 30 amps to your trailer too. That is probably the route I would have eventually gone if I hadn't run into the deal of a lifetime on the commercial 7.5 Onan QD. I will say this, mounting a portable in that space you can expect it to get REAL nasty and dirty. I also vibrated the wheels right off mine...literally.

I'll be truck number 5 Roger..Can I have one??? Please?? LOL

Yeah, but not all of us can get a Fleet fuel card, Roger 😜

When you are already a Texas resident, why would you want to register your truck in another state? Many states frown (heavily) on their residents registering their vehicles in another state. Other than using an LLC the only reason I can see to register your vehicle out of your state of residence, if you house it in the state where you reside, is to skirt the laws of your state and/or screw your state out of their road taxes for the roads you drive on.

John, I'm glad I could help. All I really did was make a phone call but I'm glad it worked. It looks like Texas is getting away from the easy registration days of old and starting to make owners jump through hoops to get registered. I kinda wonder why the change. I was in and out in 30 minutes when I did mine. Are RV HDT's becoming more common, so the rules have been changed or are they seeing this so infrequently they don't know what they are doing? I'm afraid it may be the former since even Austin (and Houston) were so hesitant and resistant. Either way, you got yours done so all is good. If I ever get out your way, I will take you up on your offer of payment for services rendered. Attached you will find an open ended bill...for ONE ice cold Dr. Pepper. I used to accept warm DP and supply my own ice. But until I see how retirement treats me I am not sure I can afford to freeze the water necessary to make enough ice to chill a warm one. Safe travels John, Phil

Oh yes they do......hehe

3 more days this week and 4 more next week....although I am feeling a bit ill. I have 2 more sick days and I feel a case of anal glaucoma coming on for next Thursday and Friday, you know....... I just can't see my ass going to work those last two days. I'll empty all of my stuff out of the Tahoe and drop it off Wednesday, turn in the old ID for the new "retired" one and that's it.

So that explains why I was gettingthe "speed trap" warnings the other day.

I never get the speeds that Dutch does but this is about my norm on an 8800L jetpack.

Sir? Wow, I thought that was my dad's name. So tell me mrchips, exactly what did I say that was incorrect? {This I gotta hear...)

I can't help you with that "rain" thing but you know how to solve that "dark" problem, don't you?

240 of them? Wow.

It happened on I-10 in Houston....on the west side of town near the West Loop (I-610W). I am not gonna arm chair quarterback the entire crash on here, but I am in complete agreement with Rick. The hitch failure was a result, not the cause...in my opinion. Our HDT's are wonderfully beasts, much more capable than a pickup but they do have their limits.

I claim my side and my two girls share the other. Does that count? Their sleep number is exactly the same as mine (funny how that worked out) 😋

Like it's been said many times, nothing will keep a determined thief from getting anything they want. Locking fuel caps will prevent the casual thief and the guy that wants to dump stuff in the tank. A determined thief could use a winch, and a wrench and steal the whole tank and the fuel. But it's kinda like having a fire extinguisher, it might put out your fire, and it might not. But I'd rather have one and make the attempt than just say "a big enough fire is gonna burn it to the ground anyway".
