« Last post by grashley on May 25, 2019, 06:52:38 PM »Flip method is great, but not for a 30 ft 50A cord. I do use it for all "normal" extension cords, coax, etc. It avoids lots of tangles.

Motorhomes / Re: slide out for genset
« Last post by Larry N. on May 25, 2019, 06:38:20 PM »Our 2007 Beaver also had an electric slide, in front. It made the genny very accessible. Our current Ventana has a door in front that opens up and provides some access to the genny, but for removal it need to go over a pit and be removed from the bottom. In the Bounder we had the genny was a side mount, a bit like a baggage door, and not on a slide.

Motorhomes / Re: slide out for genset
« Last post by JSplaine on May 25, 2019, 06:26:59 PM »Our last motorhome was a 2004 Beaver Monterrey, its genset was on an electric slide. It was very easy to check oil and water, CB and hour meter for time to service. Changing oil and filters was a breeze as you did not have to crawl under motorhome.

I was told by an orthopedic surgeon many years ago that exercise was the best treatment for arthritic joints. I gotta say, he was right.

PCs, Communications, Electronics / Re: Range extension using hotspot
« Last post by SLOweather on May 25, 2019, 05:56:10 PM »I have one of these routers on our moho. Currently it is connected one exterior mag mount antenna on the roof. So far, it is working very well. I got it new from ATT, specifically because I needed a router with a 4 port Ethernet switch in it as well as WiFi. It also has POTS ports on it in case your service comes with a phone number. Ours does, but i haven't found a use for the POTS yet. Maybe I'll install a bat phone. Or one of our KC Beariphones...
Dunno yet about changing networks. I have a second unit I just inherited from my MIL when she passed away. I tried goofing with Google FI, but we don't have new enough phones to get the SIMs authorized.
It's nice to have decent Internet on most of the roads we travel, and at campgrounds.
Hmmm, I have a Yagi from another cell project laying about. I'll have to see if I can mount that somehow. Maybe on a King Jack style TV antenna mount.
