My Trek is set up for a 50 AMP hookup but I have no problem using 30
AMP. I use the same amount of electricity when plugged into either. My question is why should I have to pay more for a 50 AMP hookup?

Progressive raised my rates this year because of some Florida legislative action. I checked many others to look for a cheaper rate but no one could come close. I'm with Progressive thru USAA.

With DISH it is go to menue then individually enter 6, 1, 1. This will give you the info you need. Put up the signal meter, turn up the volume, open the window and you will be ready outside to point. Good luck. I hsve switched to Direct as I could not get good support on the road from Dish.

I am also a firm believer in Tiffin even though I presently have a TREK. The Piggle-Wiggle in Red Bay has the best fried chicken that you will ever have.

When I had direct TV and took the box on the road, I used a portable dish set on a tripod. Would go to the menue and to setup to get the angle and elevation. I would then go to the signal on the menue and turn up the volume and open the window. It always worked as I could hear the signal when we locked on. It used to take about 5 minutes.

Go here and put in the town and then ask for camping and you will have a bunch.

You may have some snowbird competition for March and April.

I agree with what has been said and that we possibly need three categories to cover all sizes of campgrounds in four geographical areas. It would make them all strive to make for a better experience and we could also identify those that are just plain poor.

We have a 26' even though it is called a 2480. It is a TREK and it has served us well on many 30 day trips. There are some available at the TREK website along with other information on this outstanding motor home.

Bases Ditching Vehicle Decals
June 16, 2011
Columbus Ledger-Enquirer|by Ben Wright

Under a policy that went into effect on Tuesday, a Department of Defense sticker or day pass is no longer required for motorists entering Fort Benning, Ga.

"We are doing away with the need to have stickers on vehicles," Monica Manganaro, a public affairs spokeswoman said Tuesday.

The change will allow visitors to drive to an access point, show a driver's license and enter the post without stopping at the visitor's center to get a pass. The visitor centers are set to close under the change, saving the government some money by having fewer people at the access points.

Fort Benning, home of the Infantry and Armor Schools creating the Maneuver Center of Excellence, is ahead of many Army posts, "but the Air Force and the Navy have already instituted this," Manganaro said.

The new policy is aimed at protecting personnel who work on the military installation.

"Across the board, it is a matter of force protection," she said. "It doesn't identify a vehicle as belonging to a Department of Defense employee. Just having the sticker on a vehicle can potentially make an individual a target."

In addition to military personnel and their dependents, Manganaro said civilian government employees, retirees and contractors with frequent business on post use Department of Defense stickers on their vehicles. All of the employees and other staff have been told to start removing the decals, she said. For soldiers reassigned to the post, no registration is required to drive the vehicle on post.

"Just go to the gate and show your driver's license or military ID," she said.

More high-tech equipment allows officers at the access point to collect information from drivers. When a visitor or military personnel drives through the gate and shows his or her ID, the information is scanned and placed into a database, Manganaro said.

"We will have methods to determine who is coming onto Fort Benning," she said.

Four months ago, Maj. Gen. Robert Brown welcomed more residents to come on post to play golf and attend other events.

"This supports that absolutely," Manganaro said. "Individuals and a lot of people who are in the area hesitate to come onto Fort Benning because they weren't sure whether they were authorized."

On July 2, visitors can enter the post unencumbered and take part in the Independence Day celebration, she said.

This is from the NC MOAA newsletter

The Marine Corps will continue
to require members to procure
decals for vehicles registered on bases,
even though the Navy canceled Defense
Department vehicle decal requirements
on Navy installations.
“Present conditions warrant continuation
of DoD vehicle decal issuance,"
the Marine Corps stated in MARADMIN
325/11, issued June 6. The
requirement could change when an
automated access control system eventually
comes into place that would protect
the identity of military-affiliated
drivers while off base, the administrative
message stated.
In the meantime, off-base drivers of
vehicles bearing Defense Department
decals should be careful, the message
said. “Displaying the DoD vehicle
could potentially increase the risks of
targeting by criminal/terrorist organizations,"
the announcement said.
