Prepping for HD TV in the RV

Sunday morning, we actually got up at 7:30 in time for the coffee, donuts, and bagels. We enjoyed talking to people there and saw the benefits of going every morning – not that we’re going to!! Getting up so early made Sunday seem like it went on forever.


We went to lunch with Rita and Joe Komer(?) from Vienna, VA. Rita and I met at the Ladies’ Luncheon on Friday and we had great fun shopping. (I found her some cute earrings and we both bought some lipstick.) They have a brand new Phaeton RV by Tiffin that has four slide-outs – the prettiest one I’ve seen. Now Ed’s drooling and naturally, wants one!


It’s Monday and we’re at Panera Bread Co. for a bit of internet time. The RV’s at a shop getting a wire installed to run from our satellite on the roof to the inside. When we get home, the plan is to get set up with DISH network and turn off our cable. Dish is the only company that can get Ed's beloved High Definition channels. The fancy satellite is already on the roof so we might as well enjoy it.


It looks like about an hour’s drive to our next rally in Urbana at BethPage Resort. This will be all Holiday Ramblers, the brand of our rig. TBC (to be continued)……

  1. Panera Bread is one of my favorite chain restaurants. They have good coffee! I recently looked into DirecTV through Costco and the price is less than Comcast cable for HD plus the DVR feature. There's no installation fee and various other perks for buying through Costco. Local channels are included. Check it out if you haven't committed to Dish Network.

  2. Ed went through all sorts of hoops with Costco and the installation guys came with their ladders --- one glitch -- DirecTV can't provide HD on the road.

  3. Too bad about DirecTV! We might wind up switching to it. It blows my mind that you can get satellite TV in HD on the road! I'm sure Ed will love it!
