Today we embarked on our 47 day trip around America. We picked up the RV in Lake Havasu, AZ:
Then… EAST on I-40. Well… first a stop at a Super Wal-Mart. We diverted off the highway to drive through the quaint town of Williams, AZ (gateway to the Grand Canyon). In Flagstaff we stopped at Staples to purchase a power cord for Paula’s laptop, which she had forgotten. We found it in Holbrook, AZ (-;
All in all, pretty smooth day. The RV handles nicely. We brought too much stuff (IMHO) but with a bit of organizing, it all fit nicely. The RV is very comfortable. Most stuff is push button. I’m in a bit of hot water because I can’t figure out how to get the Dish Network satellite TV going…. I keep doing what it says to do, but it doesn’t work. Maybe tomorrow night…
Tomorrow… Petrified National Forest, then back on the I-40, to Albuquerque. After exploring Albuquerque a bit we will head as far east at 6 or 7 in the evening brings us. Once we know roughly where we will be we will call a campground and book us a slot. If not available, we will dry camp somewhere (Wal-Mart or Flying J).

Maybe something in here will help.

It is supposed to be all wired up for satellite. I punch in the zip code, it tells me the azimuth, and elevation for the dish. I dial that up… nothing.
I wish I felt better for tonigh’s attemptt, but I tried it all last night!

Are you able to get TV without the satelite?

Alas, no TV from reception either. I don’t think that antenna is wired in, which didn’t worry me much, since she wants the satellite (-:
No joy tonight either (in OK). Got signal but the reciever just couldn’t work with it. I’ll stop at a Camping World in the next day or two and see if they can help me sort it out.
