Personal rant, not trying to pick on anyone in particular...

What is the difference between a WANT and a NEED?

Needs are the minimum requirements to live. Needs include things like food, water, and shelter. A want is something we attempt to acquire after meeting our needs and are things that we desire to have, that wey may, or may not, be able to obtain. This includes things like candy bars, cell phones, televisions, RV's....

End of rant.

Carry on, and

Our tailgator used the coax for power it received it through the satellite box, but it needed to be a special./ specific model #. It worked okay, but considering it is only a 10" dish it did not handle trees well Hensel the 2000ft of cable for this guy's...

That is precisely why most campers now come with outside TV connections, so you can enjoy the fresh air and watch the play offs of the sports you have followed all year.

I'll see your speakers and lights and raise you a pair of wire cutters and a ski mask.

You might be a fit for the Phrog Pond at Goshen, you could be the stage for Karaoke night

Did you find your tires all flat the next morning?

Outside lights? Sometimes wish I had little light. LED in awning not much and porch light just gives enough to find the door handle. Not much but little more would not hurt. Think I want some red under slide soft glow lights, just to light table area. July road trip approaching quickly!

Except for the fact that it crosses the road, which is his problem if it gets damaged, what's the difference if your dish is 3 feet away or 300 feet away? (As long as it isn't in the way of anybody or anything.)

See the original post. (above)
Oh please- are you really that scared that that's going to happen?!? Good Lord!

I'd rather have the bright LED lights or the loud speakers next to me than the campsite full of college kids that brought a utility trailer load of fence posts as firewood!

Don't be "that guy"

I’d personally like to think that the other end of that cable leads to a tv in a tent......
