Thanks, I didn't say I WAS able to do the trip in 41 hours, i said GOOGLE says it's 41 hours. I don't care how long it takes, I'm not in a race and I'll stop and pee as long as I want to :D Secondly anyone my age that's been from one side of this country to other already knows you can't average...

Hi folks, At the end of the month I'm embarking on my first big trek in my rig, some 2700 miles and 41 hours according to google maps. I currently don't have any apps on my phone, or yet own a Garmin. I have a 10" Asus Android tablet I can use for google GPS though, instead of the onboard...

In the end I decided to go with some locking garage storage cabinets and then decided on the Harbor Freight sets based on my quality checks and measurements. I had a wicked time trying to get the tall ones shoved in and had to use my large HighLift jack to raise the ceiling in the slide slightly...

Need your 2 cents on this please When I bought my 2017 Jayco Grayhawk from some immaculate owners, it came with a huge whole RV cover in a bag and 4 covers for the tires. They had installed a queen size dual sleep number bed, so each side has it's own air hose and the air pump is in a storage...

Hello, I want to add a couple of struts to assist in lifting and holding the hood on my E450 but I'll be dipped in chocolate if I can find such a thing. I see plenty of F450 parts for this, but not E parts. I'm thinking the struts for the F series would work, but there's no obvious mount point...

Hi Lou, Your experience and explanation is architecturally sound. I've installed long range line of sight WiFi before across college campuses and for private business. I've even used a cantenna setup to narrowly target wifi and bluetooth from a more than 100 yards. You recommendation is...

Ya second that, but it's enough bandwidth to WFH without some lame-assed excuse and compensate for the cell data I won't have to encroach upon. I was just at an Applebees to get get my drink on, and the wifi is pretty abysmal. A lot depends on the # of customers too to in the wee hours...

After 2 weeks in forums and countless hours in research and phone calls, I think I have the solution I want to try. Essentially it would include Pepwave Max Br1 MK2 CAT-6 LTE-Advanced Mobile Router and some choice of AIO omni directions antenna or individual antennas. This Br1 MK2 and antennas...

Hi Folks, just swinging back by this topic. The Sony is rated as 305w at 120v, and while I'll surely be running pure sinewave inverter, this set will be on A LOT. I'm just trying to balance how many 120v devices I need at any time. This 75" will fit just fine right where I want it so I'll just...

Thanks. I'm pretty sure that if I load DD-WRT for this NetGear NightHawk 7500 V2 then I'll be able to bridge from external WAN to internal LAN on this same device. I really want to do all the connection and auth on the router and not have to log in to xfinity on each laptop etc in order to get...

Hello all, I've been searching through the wifi chats on various boards, would still like to revisit my requirements and know what the best options are. Does anyone know by what means I could access the Xfinity mesh of hotspots and connect / authenticate with my account? Secondly, I have a...

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm way ahead of you. I've actually been googling since it was a possibility. I'm looking for people that have already DONE this sort of thing and what they bought and how they mounted it etc. https://www.wayfair.com/keyword.php?keyword=closet&class_id= .

I'm removing the dinette and sofa from one wall and I want to use that 18" depth of long wall space for some organizer storage for lightweight stuff. Look around online at Amazon and The Home Depot etc, I'm still not quite finding the thing I'm looking for. Has anyone here added some modular...

Hey folks, I intend to repro my home theater and man cave and while I'm not apposed to running my huge HDTV from an inverter, I'm just wondering what is the largest 12v HDTV that YOU HAVE?? No theoretical discussions here please - I'm not asking what all could be possible if . . ., just the...

I asked the RV dealership the same question! How does anyone get furniture in and out of an RV? They say they know. I see threads here and there on the net about replacing stock furniture with better theater seating so I know it can be done. Magic dust.
