Don't know what we have got but we have had them for years some are yellow and some are orange and none of them have ever broken. We had the levelers on both of our Montana's and found that the RV had to be sort of level before starting the auto level.

If we are traveling down the road in our 5th wheel  we are not watching TV so we would not know if there was a signal or not. If we are in a spot for more than overnight we set up our portable satellite  dish .We  are actually from western PA and understand how mountains and hills can block TV signals. What I said was   "Strange as it may seem we have never been in an area  were we could not get a OTA signal there have been times' when we could only get 2 or three channels. We use the bat for the locals wherever we are. We use directv

We left Florida April 2nd this year. We stay at KOA campgrounds and had reservations they  were open but only 25 maybe 30 % filled. We got at far as S.C when the Governors of VA and WVA shut everything down and we lost our reservation the rest of the way home to Ohio.

We decided to not make any travel plans this summer due to the uncertainty. We will stay local when the CG open. We are using the down time to do much need maint on the S&B and the Montana. We are not full timers in that we do have a S&B.

Strange as it may seem we have never been in an area  were we could not get a OTA signal there have been times' when we could only get 2 or three channels. We use the bat for the locals wherever we are. We use directv .

When we are on the road we want the local channels were we are at and we just crank up the Bat wing antenna. If we are in Arizona we do not  want to see the local weather in Northern Ohio. We want to know what is going on where we are not where we are not.

The standard queen size  mattress is 60X80. We hade the OEM  mattress in both our Montana 3400 and our now 13 3402. We are long timers spending most of the year living in the RV and the OEM mattress was not satisfactory;. There are plenty of good quality  60X80 products out there and I am sure you can find one that suites you. We went with the standard sleep number in our 06 3400 and transferred it to our 13 3402 upon purchase . It fits perfectly  with no modifications and no problem with slide closing.

Thy took a chance they lost they paid the price.

We have never had that happen. We have wintered in Arizona, Mexico for long periods of time with no issues and  now Florida. Florida of course has out of state plates from everywhere.

We did not paint our 2013 3402.It was full body paint from Keystone. There were two color schemes both dark. Maple city painted it I had no control over who did it. The front panel  chipped badly in about 6 months of travel .We applied bedliner yes we had mud flaps.

We have used wall mart for many  years primarily because they are everywhere across the country. We do all refills on line and have very good prescription coverage . We have not had a problem .We do have to remember where we are and to change the pharmacy address so it gets to the right place. We ordered a refill Monday at our local wall mart and picked it up Tuesday .We have our Doctor do 90 day refills with 3 refills.  

We are not going anywhere. We will be staying at our S&B for the first summer since 2006.We have plenty to do around here. We may do a local trip or two if the C.Gs  are open.

Not sure I was  a new member or not our membership had expired by a couple  of months , my bad. The membership number is the same as the one that expired. There was no mention of new membership status in our conversation with GS.

We file our returns electronically and we have for several years.We usually have a small refund. We direct the IRS direct deposit the refund in our bank savings account and they always have. We did file our 2019 federal tax and had received our refund. The stimulus check (2400) was deposited in our Bank savings account  4-16-2020. We did get a letter from  WH a couple of days ago  dated April 15th stating that we would be receiving  a economic  impact payment of 2400.00 $$ which we already had. Everything seemed to work out according to plan.

I have had Ford and GM tow vehicles. I do not care about the brand .I care about the truck doing the job I need it to do an at the price I can afford to pay. We have a Ford now and we have not had a problem with any brand.

We were  not planning anything but local stuff anyhow since my  knees need worked on. The Montana needs work as we use it nearly full time and my bad knees prevent much routine maint. We will take a year off Rv travel.

Yes you do need the Platinum plan .I called to see what we had and our plan was expired so we got the platinum plan it is on sale right now at 50% off the yearly rate. We have never had a problem with GS.

Good to know thanks.

So there you have it.

One of my sons is a mail carrier and  other family members have been P.O employees. The P.O like any other organization has problems.

and understand a long time ago congress required that the post office set aside retirement and health benefits for all employees present and future for the next approx. 75 years (started about 2011?).  So name me one other company is the USA that is required to set aside all retirement and health up front for present and or future workers. 

So maybe just a thought FEDEX, Google Amazon and who ever, and congress and senate maybe they caused this problem with the post office and in reality (maybe a little with the corvid-19).  

So just my option maybe the problem is the senate and congress.  So before you slam the post office ask and find out why they are the only company/business that is required to set aside retirement/health up from for present/future workers.

P.s. Ask your congress person and senator why after one term they have retirement for life and health benefits for there family's for life, to include if one of their children get married there spouse and their future children have health insurance for their life. and this continues even after the congress/senator dies. Ask your reps. to prove this wrong. if not then I am right.

So back to the beginning don't slam the Post Office because that are just doing what the were ordered/directed to do.

This will be the first summer since 2006 that our Montana will sit in the driveway and not move except for dealer repairs.. We hope we will be able to return to Florida for the 20/21 season.

We had filed out 2019 tax and had received the refund our stimulus check was direct deposited April 16th.It will go to local business and then some as our RV needs some repairs.

We and many like us are retired.  We have no workplace. We can choose  where we go and who we associate with. We have a pension  that pays the bills each month . We take the virus very seriously and will continue to do what we have been doing for over a month. State open or closed has little effect on us .We will not be travelling anywhere this summer or into the near future since we are not full timers we have a S&B and here we will stay.

It is kind of hard to hoard in a RV due to limited space. We did see hoarding in Central Florida folks coming out of Publix with shopping carts full of "stuff" We have not had a problem  buying what we needed. We are now home in Northern Ohio and we have no problems.
