    How do you limit data usage?

    If you are using Windows, you can set your device to function as a "metered connection"so that it will not run automatic updates etc while you are connected to the internet via your phone's hotspot, Verizon Jetpack etc. Once set up your device will remember this connection.

    Hwy 4 Vancouver Island (Pacific Rim Hwy)

    We were concerned about this before going there last year after reading about poor road conditions etc. We have a pickup and TT with a total length of 45 feet. There are some twisty, slow sections but we didn't have any issues. It'e definitely a worthwhile trip.

    Can i attach a scooter to the back bumper of my 27' Jayco Jayfeather?

    Is Gallup, NM safe to stay in an RV Park there?

    WE are snowbirds from Canada and are starting to plan for our October return to the US. I recently upgraded my laptop to Windows 10 and need some help on monitoring data usage when using my Verizon jetpack and phones' hotspot. I have set up my cellphone and Jetpack as "Metered Connections"...
