    Fogged Windows

    We had RV Fog Doctor in Searcy AR fix several of ours and they do god work at a fair price. At least Arkansas is a lot closer to you than Florida!

    RV Consignment-PPL Motors Cleburne Tx.

    We've been there, also. The RVs aren't cleaned or prepped at all. They are displayed just the way their owners deliver them to the lot. I've been led to believe that the salesmen alert potential customers to the really nice units and those are snapped up very quickly.

    Domicile - South Dakota...?

    Texas, Florida, Nevada (I think)

    GFI plugs

    Same for my Beaver. I've replaced a number of the GFCI's and all of them have been standard size. Only the non-GFCI outlets are the shallow design that has been mentioned.

    Domicile - South Dakota...?

    South Dakota is one of only a small number of States that permit you to establish a legal domicile using only a mail forwarding address. That's why it is so popular with RVers, added to the fact that it has no State income tax. We've been SD residents since we began full-timing in 2011. Our...

    Are there non carbon based life forms?

    It's a great basic concept, but the creatures would have to exhale "silicon dioxide" which is quartz! You sure would need super strength for those sneezes! LOL

    Cell Boosters vs. MIMO Antennas

    Sorry to enter this conversation late, but the fundamental problem may be location/terrain and there might not be much you can do about it. For ~8 years we lived in a home in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains on the Maryland side. We could almost always "see" some cell service on our...

    Coach Net is sold!

    The problem is that when you acquire a company you often have to tell your financial backers that you can make it more profitable than it has been under its current management. Unless you are a magician that often means that you have to reduce costs in order to increase profits. It's that cost...

    Coach Net is sold!

    I'm in the same boat. I was totally satisfied with CN's response the couple of times we used them. I can only hope that the new ownership maintains the same standards. I have no reason to change until they fail to perform; IMHO it would be unfair to jump ship just because the ownership has...

    Looky, Looky What Wyoming Wants To Do

    Here's a interesting "real world" perspective from several Motor Trend staff members. Road-Tripping in Our Long-Term EV Test Cars Has Been … Interesting IMHO this is not a debate that necessitates that people taking strong emotional positions, even though that's what typically happens. Yes...

    Looky, Looky What Wyoming Wants To Do

    When driving through the great open spaces of the SW US are you supposed to drive at 45 mph rather than the posted 75 mph? You may have a longer range, but it will also take you nearly twice as long to get there. A you'll probably be cited for driving >20 mph below that posted speed limit. I...

    Flightaware.com

    If you are flying FlightAware can be very helpful. For example, it enables you to see if your inbound flight is on-time or not. The flight board may not yet show your flight as having been delayed, but if the inbound plane is late, you will have a better understanding of the "real" situation.

    Experiences with 15-ish year old Class A diesel pushers

    Not at all; I'm just pointing out that it is possible to purchase a well-cared-for DP and drive it for quite a few miles without ever getting close to the cost of having purchased it new. We've undertaken some fairly expensive upgrades and have had a few somewhat costly repairs, but our total...

    Experiences with 15-ish year old Class A diesel pushers

    We own a 23 year old Beaver Patriot Thunder. We have made lots of changes, improvements and repairs, but we've still spent much less than even a lower end DP would have cost. We've enjoyed traveling >75,000 miles in it over the 12 years we've full-timed in it. Had we waited to be able to...

    Options for fast internet on the road.

    Customers using Starlink RV data plans or who are using the Portability feature of their residential plans do NOT have a high speed data allowance. Therefore, they don't have a 1 TB limit to be concerned about. Only people on residential plans will have that limit and, if they reach it, they...
