Driving thru Iowa

63 degrees and clear going to sunny 85 degrees nice Indian summer day. Buster had a 9:00 AM appointment with the leveling jacks manufacturer for service. Great service department. They have nice friendly people working there and the labor rates are reasonable. New springs will solve most of the problems these new ones are slightly stronger and three pistons needed nipples to prevent the pad from sliding off. They also replaced the face plate on the control panel. After service we still had time to drive on to Charles City, Iowa a hundred and fifty three miles. It was a great day for traveling.

72 degrees and mostly Cloudy light rain on wake up today. Turned into a nice day into the upper 70's and sunny for traveling to Apple Valley, Minnesota. I went to King Controls the maker of Buster's King Dome for satellite televison reception. Purchased the power supply and tuner. I got it connected and came up to a fault - azimuth, so it seams there in a problem inside the dome. I am not going on the roof to resolve this and as of now I will return the tuner and power supply. King Controls does not have any service on the unit (motorhome) and will direct customers to dealers and dealers I am trying to avoid as for one thing they do not stock any spare parts. The persons I talked with at King Controls were mentioning the age of the antenna so I think I want to go in another direction. I will talk to them Wednesday.
