   A real senior moment!  Hooked up for the first trip, checked the lights and made sure the door was closed and hopped into the truck.  My wife drives.  I said just a minute and went outside to do another walk around.  Saw my lock sitting on the bumper!!!

	Replaced ours after 1 season. It looked like a sponge when I winterized. When I summerized I flushed it out with a waterheater cleaner attachment. Water came out looking like watery milk with sand in it. Don't know if this is normal but we'll see this fall.
	Ready to pod around!

	Re: Heater Anode. Glad you found it. When we had our trailer delivered last week, the tech. said I didn't have to replace the anode until all of the material was eaten away and just the inner rod was visible. Just sayin'. Safe Travels.

	Found the $%^%11!!&*!!! anode rod. We had to break camp in the rain last weekend, so we put the dome back up in the yard so it could get rinsed off and dried out.. folded it up and put it in it's bag.. slid into the under bed storage, lego blocks were in the way on the street side, went over and opened the door... laying right there. I swear to you all, I climbed in there looking for it. Well, as far as my fat self could go. So did she. Near as I can tell, it rolled back UNDER the lip of the door trim, and so was hidden from view and feel, but then rolled back out at some point on the drive BACK from the campground Sunday afternoon.

	BillGa I did what Furpod explained. I added a conection just behind the fender on our 171. I ran the cable from a splitter then under the bed. It works but by what I have read you may lose a little of the antenna strength. Its nice to have the option even though we have used the TV very little outside.

	Well.. it can stay wherever it is. $14 later, got a new one. Old one was half ate up already anyways.. Dealer told me "people always can't find them, then find them on the little shelf area of the heater".. I said yes.. that is where I left it for the winter.. but not where I left it yesterday..lol.

	I was under the bed where my water heater is at today.. and it would take about 5 minutes to add a splitter, route RG6 around thru the under bed storage and hook up to an all weather outlet to have a cable outlet in the dome. Just mount and connect one of these: http://www.rvpartscenter.com/ProductDetail.asp?PID=25678&SID=4&DID=136&CID=45\\ No affiliation, just tthe first google hit.. EDIT: as a side note, anyone know what the heck I did with my Anode rod? lol Left it out for the winter, took it yesterday, cleaned up the threads with a wire wheel, put fresh teflon tape on.. got a phone call.. set it down.... somewhere..
