I'd be up for that too. I have one and never have gotten it set up.

FWIW, I've used Silverleaf and moved over to Bluefire.
The best way to view GPS is to use a device that actually runs the GPS app itself.

The way Silverleaf and Bluefire work is they are basically scraping the screen of the web version of the GPS app and resending it inside the main app window. It's a kludge and will be always be a little behind and problematic. Windows also changed how it talks to GPS devices in windows 10/11 so most of the previous workarounds just do not work in the newer versions.

I have gotten it to work in Bluefire, but I eventually removed the screen and went back to using a device instead.

Just a little food for thought, it's not impossible but it is painful today on Windows.

If anyone is interested in the Manibloc fresh water distribution system I installed one in our LXI replacing the very convoluted CPVC factory system which the PO allowed to freeze and crack. We can also look at PEX tubing, brass connectors, rings and crimping tool.

I'd like to see that. But because I just hate that cpvc junk!

Sounds like you have some experience with this Jayson, would you like to provide your experiences for this?

Thanks Russ, sounds good.

I will start getting a schedule put together. We will follow the same basic schedule we used last year.
We will have 2 seminars each day Wed, Thurs and Friday. Each seminar will be allotted 1 hour, 9am to 10am and 10:30am to 11:30am. This allows for folks to have the afternoon for other activities, napping etc.

Come up to the activities building in the morning for coffee and donuts and read the white board for the activities that day including the seminars. The schedule is subject to change, so make sure you check the white board daily.

Saturday will be for Randy's popcorn session. Do not miss this, as its usually a very lively discussion of a variety of topics! Lots of audience participation.

Glad to help with whatever is needed, just let me know.

[Russell Marlowe]

Yes please!

I did the annual maintenance myself for the first time this year.

It was intimidating but really quite easy once I actually did it (with help from itrheat videos)

I would love to see one removed and the hoses replaced.

So here is the tentative 2022 WOG Seminar Schedule:

2022 WOG Seminar Schedule.pdf

We have some things that were discussed over on the WOG Rally thread so I have added those and we have several vendors who have asked for some time to demonstrate and talk about their products.

This schedule is tentative and will be subject to change so make sure you come up to the activities building in the morning and look at the white board and there will be coffee and donuts. Some of these seminars will happen at a rv site to be able to do the demonstration and I will add that site information to the schedule once I have it.

If any of the folks I have leading seminars need anything or have any questions for me feel free to contact me on here or email me, my email is in my signature.

Safe T Plus, rather than Safe T Steer I hope.
