My Jammer is a 2012 so maybe someone that has a newer one will chime in. The Jammer is a higher end unit I am amazed you don't have one, mine works great so I usually don't get the cable at the cg. Good luck on your new venture, I am sure you will have no problem selling, however people usually want to beat you up on the price. ( They say it a buyers a market ).

Thanks Chuck. We've been working way to hard getting this house ready to go. The buyer will be getting a very good deal. Were done though. I'm done for sure.
About that booster, at the last CG last week I got just as many channels with the antenna, than I did with their cable system Actually the Antenna had a better picture. We were up at Lake Shasta, Ca at a little town called Lakehead. The CG was about a 4 on the scale of 1-10, but they had a real nice pool, bar and lounge. Ha Ha. Close to the lake for our big Chocolate Lab to take a dip also. Our little Toy fox Terrier even enjoyed a little bit of water time. All in all a very nice trip with both the new TV, and TT.

Just a thought, your booster may be built into you antenna and eliminates the need to turn a switch on. Well good luck on your sale, I understand the meaning when your done you are done. I'm with you its time to enjoy some quality time, and check out this fine country we have. The dogs will never complain, as long as they can stretch their legs. Keep in touch about your travels. We are expecting some of this hurricane here on coastal Va. Only a cat 1, shouldn't be much trouble here. My favorite camp ground in Cape Hatteras will probably take a hit, They just got it straight after the last storm.. Good luck.

Jammer3025,
I know you said you aren't getting a picture - to far from a broadcast signal - but when you do, and if you are running the sound through the ceiling speakers, the television volume control won't work...all the volume control will be done with the radio remote, so, two remote controls to watch television this way.
Good luck!

I own a 3025w and the antenna booster is located,if you face the fireplace,on the right side ,in a little cubby space,along with media outlets,an electrical outlet,and an additional cable outlet.If the light is green it is on.

You guys are right by golly. After Reitresg said there was a TV booster as well as Charles Firth, I checked it again today, and low and behold thar she blows. I've looked right at it several times, but it's dark and I didn't see the little black button. I'm glad you all are right , and I was wrong.

Well were at the campsite, and not only (with everybody's help on this forum) did I get the TV sound to come through the speakers and the gen 3.0 surround sound, but I was also able to pair my phone via Bluetooth through the 3.0 Gen3 and stream Pandora through the speakers also. Very happy camper.

I haven't got that sophisticated yet, I just figured out how to get hot water not to long ago. How is the TV working with the antenna booster ? Are you using cable at the site.

Ha Ha, yeah it gets complicated at times. I also here you can pair the TV remote with the gen 3's remote, and just have 1 remote to operate both. I might try that soon. We still have a couple of days here yet, so ya never know.
The antenna booster works. When I got here my tv cable wasn't long enough so I had to use the air antenna, and the booster, and it worked great. On the cable now though. I'm still having problems with my water heater though. It seems it always trips the breaker when I try to use the gas and electric at the same time. Although once the water is heated with gas, and I turn the gas side off for awhile and then turn electric only on it will trip also. I'm totally stumped. The electric side works just fine when I'm on the TT waters tank only, and no city water. Are you totally confused yet? I am.

I would think that it ought to be the other way around...that it would be less likely to trip the breaker when you are on "city" water. You are using more amperage when using the on-board fresh water, because you are also running the pump to get the water out of the tank.
Are you tripping just the breaker for the hot water heater, or the main coming off the pedestal? If it is just the electric side of the hwh, you might just have a bad breaker.

I just have one question, how can you hear all those noises that well? I am a retired ENC/SS and I can't even come close to hearing all that stuff.

Just tripping the H/W breaker. Everything else is good. I haven't had time to track it down We just signed the papers to sell our house, and trying to get everything ready to move our stuff in storage, and then we're going full time Rv'ing for approx 2 years. We have 42 days before we have to be out of the house. It's all very exciting, and I'm trying to prepare for trailer life full time.

I have never used to gas/electric at the same time on my Windjammer, I know there are post that say you can, but when I asked my dealer about it, they discourage it. My heater heats up fairly fast and I haven't the need for both running. Is the breaker tripping the one on the outside on the heater its self ? Is there a temp sensitive breaker to keep the unit from overheating ? Just a thought when you are running on your tank water , the pump must run to fill your heater, are you also running faucet water at the same time? Check you book on the water heater, I believe there is a section on running both. My book is not handy I keep it in my TT which is in storage.
Congrats on selling your home, in this climate a quick sale is a plus.

I have read the book back to back. Can't find anything discouraging this practice. I will have to look at that breaker when I get a chance. The gas side hardly uses any propane at all, but I would prefer to be on A/C when camping.
On another note, I can't for the life of me remember where the installed water filter on the Windjammer is. I remember during the pdi he pointed to the general direction, but I can't find it. I have the filter wrench, so I'm pretty sure it has a filter. Any thoughts? Once I get that figured out I'll be good to go.

My filter is under the sink in the bottom cabinet. There is a false wall to the rear. Mine has 2 screws that attach it to the floor, and the wall is kinda wedged in to keep it in place. The paneling is somewhat flexible so it can be bent slightly. Once this panel is removed you have access to the water filter/fresh water pump and water heater supply hoses, as well as the system cut offs for winterizing. The panel is kinda hard to remove, but once you get the knack and hold your mouth right it comes out just fine. I did not bother putting the long screws back in the floor ( there were 2 ) .

Did you get TV channels yet.
1. Antenna up
2. Rotate antenna to desired direction. (When all else fails, aim at nearest large city)
3. Booster on. (Green light)
4. TV setting on "air" or "over the air" or "antenna)
5. Scan channel by deleting auto scan or program.
When it completes scan for strong signals it should lock on to lowest channel and then you can select from all in-range channels.
There are apps for iPhone and android phones that will locate antenna signals for. Point your antenna accordingly.
If hooked to cable , turn booster off. Set tv to "cable" and rescan.
Hope this helps.

Yep, thanks for the info. It's all working now. That's a relief. Now that I got all that squared away, I'm thinking on a satellite system. We will be full timing, and like our TV shows and our sports. Not sure on which one yet.
