                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Having spent the past week working on electrical issues under my rig, I discovered the white folding tables a lot of us use for outdoor entertaining make a perfect platform to lay on when you have to crawl under your rig for repairs or maintenance. Fold it out and lock it and leave legs folded up. You can slide it in where ever you need it. 

Works great.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi everyone.  Does anyone know what the part number is for the filter cartridge for the garage water filter?  Nothing is listed in my owners manual and there is no part number on the filter housing.  The only thing on the housing is PENTEK.  There are various Pentek filter cartridges on Amazon so I'm not sure what fits.  I haven't pulled the cartridge yet but may need to do that to correctly identify it but was hoping a forum member might know

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Last week we had torrential down pours at the rate of 3-4 inches per... I had a very small puddle about 2” in diameter directly under the antenna crank.. 

I went up and inspected it all, and it looked fine. I had some eternabond laying around and it was enough to do the base so I did that, then sealed the edges with self leveling lap sealant... 

I reached out to Winegard and they said there are 2 o rings on the shift that could allow very small amounts of water in ( sounds like the issue ) so they sent them to me free... 
The issue is, I have no idea how to get to them>??>? The diagram that is listed on the owners manual is very vague, it kind of looks like I may need to un bolt a nut on the TOP of the roof and allow the shaft to go inside, But bot completely sure ????

Any help here ????

Speaking of batteries...I'll attach what I have been able to pull together from the Interstate and Trojan Battery Companies (as of 10/10/17).

I always have trouble switching pages back and forth on the website trying to compare batteries. So I pulled the data into a spreadsheet format. There are different categories of batteries (i.e. Starting, Deep Cycle,Combo Starting and Deep Cycle, Marine, AGM, both 6V and 12V).

If you are in the market for house batteries, maybe this will help you save some time with comparing amp hour ratings and the like. I have suggested retail prices on the Interstate. You would have to look up the Trojans.

Looking at the Amp Hour ratings, I see an opportunity to Upgrade in the near future.
