Hey all. Thanks for all the good info on tire pressures. I found the plaque next to the drivers feet. It showed 120 psi in all tires for my 2005 inspire. Seems to be working good, I got her in one piece.
New problem. My coach has a in motion Trac-Star system with a Direct Tv reciever. I am at 1000 trails at Whitney Lake Tx. which is 60 miles south of Tawankoni Lakes Tx in the Dallas Texas area. Now I can not get the damn thing to work down here. Trac Star says I have a locked signal on Southwest Sat 9, but Driect TV unit says can not down load guide - no satilite found.

Of course I can not find the Trac-Star brocure, not sure if I should change to another bird and if so which one. Any help would be apprecicate.

Bill, according to the TracStar operating instructions you should have your system set to region 8. Hope that this will resolve your problem.
Region 9 is SouthEast.

Bill ... I recently found that it takes surprisingly little in the way of small, bare tree branches to block the signal. After taking up about 20 minutes with a terrific fellow at Technical Support, we moved about 10 feet and had perfect reception.

Hi folks,

Call your Trac Star people and ask if there is a problem with the software on Direct TV's satellite. I have MotoSat and Direct TV.
I am awaiting a (MotoSat)

module to update the software, which MotoSat blames on Hughes Corp's satellite. I too could not get a lock on (until the 12th try), and it had nothing to do
with obstructions.

Evidently, Hughes is monkeying with their birds!

p.s. Our coaches are almost sisters!
