Hey all --

Was thinking about buying the Winegard SWM3 satellite dish system (DirecTV) for our 2015 toy hauler. Does anyone have one of these things or know anything about them? Are people...

I moved the limit switch only 1" to the left so it was more out in the open and it really improved the time it took to hit the limit switch. Yeah, I just think for the location they chose for the...

Furnace Limit Cycling - Potential fix?

Did some more testing.

Furnace Limit Cycling - Potential fix?

I'm not sure there is enough room for a 90* bend of the hard stuff on the sides of this thing. You can see how there is barely 4" of space on either side of the furnace. It's exactly the same width...
