Interesting and useful information, bajasurf. I use Hughes at home in Idaho and it's also on our larger (than the AT) travel trailer with a Motosat dish. The Idaho unit has been in use since 2006 and seems to have hiccoughs only when the ice and snow collect on the horn. It points SW, so on...

Now that is just a great story. I need go no further tonight. Think I'll get back to the book I'm reading. Many thanks. Allen R

You might check in your owner's manual. We've owned three Suburbans. In each we were able to re-program various unwanted devices, door chimes, automatic doorlocks (the most offensive one in my opinion), safety-belt chime. Also our Excursion had some of these features that we have re-programmed...

Well, what a hoot! There is at least one photo of me and our Suburban towing Connie, and I found it on a web site. Stephen Goetz shot some promo photos in Death Valley on our way to SEMA. That's me walking up from a following vehicle whom I had just alerted to the fact that we would not delay...

I just visited the web site for Conquerer. They do seem to be offering quite a bit for your dollar. We didn't have any drawers on our model though this was eight years ago and they seem to have made many changes. We really did like the double 'barn doors' at the rear tailgate with built-in...

1. All things considered, Harry. 2. The suspension on Harry (trailing-arm Chaser® suspension) is better, but both suffer from being over-tired IMO. Even running 12psi in Harry's tires there's still no sidewall flex to speak of. This translates to brutal punishment (and failure) for add-on...

We are former owners of a Conqueror. We met Stephan Goetz and his wife at the Pomona Off-Road Expo October 7, 2000, the first year Stephan was importing the line under the name of Safari Trailers, LLC. Ours was the second Conqueror sold in the U.S. As it was the only truly off-road camping...

That's a swell find. Maybe one of these....(below) as a tow rig???? Allen R

Yep, D and I are big fans of tamales. I just had a couple for lunch yesterday at a favorite little Mexican restaurant in P'cott Valley. We do take them with us on camping trips. Since they are labor-intensive to produce we prepare many in advance, vacuum-pack them in pairs, and freeze them...

Just went down to Sportsmans' Warehouse in Twin today and played with the 400t. Liked it, bought it. It replaces my 60cs. Yep, 'cs'. No card in it. I've had it for about 8 years. It, too, ate batteries fast until I read in the User's Manual (funny how these little booklets have a way of...

Moi? Nahhhhh. I worked for too many years trying to keep my puss out of the camera's eye. Diana, on the other hand, several times. San Francisco Chronicle Magazine, Santa Barbara Magazine, Seventeen, Gourmet, to name a few. Allen R

Indeed. I enjoyed reading your profile. Allen R

Boy, that's litote. Thanks for putting this one up on the forum Allen R

Quote: "...$7.20 per mb ;)" Scott, I'd say that "office view" is worth much more than $1.53 (based on your above figure.:sombrero: ) Allen R

Dang, Scott, and we just rolled back into town (P'cott) this evening after a fabulous trip in Baja. One of these days, we promise to stay put for a bit. Buen viaje, amigo. Allen R P.S. (on edit) be sure to check the pwr-steering unit carefully. Our compa on the recent trip had a failure...

Hey Mark, I have several friends to have knee (as well as other joints) replacements. All say they wish that they had had them done earlier. Good on ya'. Hope all goes well. We're in town (P'cott) for a few days. Nice weather here compared to the Snake River Plain. Again, here's to...

Well done Scott. I know how difficult it is to land sponsors of this calibre. Cheers! Allen R

That's an excellent price, Martyn. More than 'fair'. I'll bet someone will snatch that one up quickly. Allen R

We don't alter our measurements when using Mexican vanilla. The brand you mention, Vané is pure and not a derivative of coumarin, which was banned here in the states years ago. When using more readily available vanilla products, which can be synthetic, it's common that folks will often be...

The Lower Rio Grande Gorge can be good during the cold months. Afternoon sun will bring about midge hatches by the handful. Try a cluster pattern. You will definitely need waders; cleats too. The rocks are treacherous. I hesitate to fish the Gorge w/out a partner, though I've done it. See if...
