  1. Yes we have had CALIX for the last year. It has served us well. Another benefit is the cost is tax deductible.
  2. I installed these. Bright white. They have worked well so far: https://a.co/d/gmmEVLf
  3. I installed it on my DD60 three years ago when we first purchased our '05 Sig. I noticed a significant improvement in acceleration from a stop. I do not know if there was a change on engine temp only because I didn't document it before the install. I saw no noticeable difference in mpg.
  4. My front air pressure gauge on my ‘05 Sig was also acting wonky. Sometimes it worked and other times it took warming up to get it to start registering. Mine was not linked to a low air pressure warning or buzzer so I believe you may have an air leak as well as the well know issues with that FARIA gauge.
  5. UPDATE: Issue Resolved I pulled the cabinet panel and first connected an extension cord to the TV plug, bypassing the cutoff module. That didn’t resolve it. Then I started checking all of the connections to the splitter and booster switch. Sure enough, just as a member on a different forum had suggested, I found that one of the coax connections on the booster switch was very loose. Tightened it up and that resolved the issue. I also tightened up all of the other coax connections while I was in there. I would have never guessed that a poor coax connection would in any way be related to house lights interfering with a cable TV signal. Who knew. Thanks to all!
  6. I do have an OTA amp that also connects to the incoming cable feed. I'm not sure of the maker. It's behind a panel which is a bit of a pain to remove. Sounds like that may be the problem. I have determined that there are only 4 light circuits that interfere with the cable signal...the main living area overhead light shown in the video, the dining overhead light, the driver overhead light and the passenger overhead light. No other light switches create the interference. I'm guessing they are all on the same circuit with the OTA amp. I'll have to pull the panel and get a part number for the amp. On another forum others have suggested I plug the TV into a different AC outlet via an extension cord, to see if the issue is related to the TV disable switch, which turns off the TV when the engine is started, so I'll do that too when I open the panel. I'll also connect the incoming cable TV coax directly to the cable box and bypass the amp to see if it eliminates the channel interference. I think your suggestion is more likely the cause. Thank you!
  7. Hello friends, today while at a campground with cable TV, we discovered that if we turn on certain lights, we would completely lose our cable signal on every channel (like in the attached video) and other lights would make the channel signals sketchy. All lights are LED. Has anyone ever experienced this phenomenon? ’05 Sig IMG_4845.MOV
  8. Below is a similar model of the temperature monitor I purchased. I put one sensor on DS and one on PS of the wet bay, and one outside the coach. I placed the base station inside the living area of the coach. I programmed alarms to be sent to my phone if any of the sensors reach 35 F. I've had the system for a year and have not yet replaced the battery in any of the sensors. Very cool system with a lot of features. https://ambientweather.com/amws3000x3.html .
  9. I don’t winterize mine because we sometimes travel during the colder months. Instead, I put a couple of space heaters inside the coach and a small one in the wet bay to supplement the bay heater. Then I monitor the inside temp and bay temps with wireless temperature sensors that I can monitor from anywhere.
  10. Beautiful find! You’ll love the DD60!
  11. Be sure to get it professionally inspected by a certified NRVIA inspector. They will find things that you won’t and that the seller may not even know about. They can handle the analysis for your engine, transmission and generator fluids too which is vitally important. We spent a few hundred dollars on getting ours inspected and it literally saved us thousands in repairs that the dealer had to fix. It also gives you great leverage when negotiating the final price. Money absolutely we’ll spent!
  12. I have the Flo Rite battery watering system on our FLA batteries. It makes maintaining the water in the batteries super easy. It would be a great addition to your new battery bank. https://www.flow-rite.com/filter-by-type/pro-fill-clampless-tubing-installation/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw3JanBhCPARIsAJpXTx6w_pZw89YTe0YjMX5V5JJbBsm-sCkxwyT0eXboNUrMaZxVJLj9zOQaAsHfEALw_wcB
