  1. Hey Derek, You still surviving in the Louisiana outback? Noticed your Roadie site seems to be down so Just wanted to let you know that my website is still Myrving.com. We have left the world of the full timers for health reasons and now live in St Augustine (kinda like louisiana, we have gators , too). Hope you are well and happy. We certainly are.
  2. A word of caution: Not all roof AC units have the necessary interface to work with typical home thermostats. I have used several RiteTemp units successfully for years but when I got the new Atwood Air Command 15.5k Heat pump/ AC unit I found that the thermostat is a proprietary design that has a digital interface to the AC. As such, a Nest nor any other home Thermostat will work with that unit. Having said that, however, I will add that this is by far the quietest RV AC unit I have ever seen. Even at full blower speed and full cooling/heating we can talk standing under it and can watch tv without having to turn the volume up to the max. So, This alone, made it a no brainer for me to choose to give up the convenience of a Nest or other WIFI capable smart thermostat. This thermostat does come with its own wireless (IR) remote control, though). Just as a clue, this is what the actual thermostat unit for this AC looks like: https://www.bing.com/th?id=OIP.CTDdf0ErI8OpUaLvPaTlOgHaFj&w=191&h=160&c=8&rs=1&qlt=90&dpr=2.25&pid=3.1&rm=2
  3. If you are on Windows 10, then use the Windows Defender. It is the best on that platform. I cannot speak to Linux platforms though I do use a few of them a little bit like Mint and OpenSUSE but not too seriously. My experience with Kaspersky is that it turned into a CPU hog and I still have had problems with Nortons interfering with product installations on occasions. Just my experiences. FWIW.
  4. I used Red Maxx Pro a number of years ago on my fiberglass end caps. it has held up surprisingly well. It is the same thing as ZEP and comes off easily with their floor stripper, np. Makes it easy to correct mistakes or redo's. here is my writeup on my success: http://rvhousekeeping.blogspot.com/2011/06/making-outside-shine.html#links Good luck.

  6. I have used 3m Filtrete Radio Thermostats ever since they first came out. The units I have say "connect to 24v supply" but they also have battery back up ( which won't run the wifi module). In talking with their tech I found that the 24v compatibility is the norm but their units will work fine on as little as 8 volts. I just ran a 12v line from a nearby RV source and connected it to the thermostat and it has worked fine for year. Might be worth a call to nest tech support to ask the usable voltage range that they will work on. Yes, I would like a nest system in my RV but what I have lets me check on temps when I am away from it (for our dog's sake). We just returned home after 10 days at our kids for the Christmas/New years events and the whole time I was able to check and control it from 500 miles away.
  7. How is tower CG for HDTs compared to Jellystone or KOA in Sioux Falls?
  8. That was us. Did get to chat briefly with the Lady of your house as we were pulling out. We are from Evergreen SKP park in Chimacum, Wa and headed to St Augustine, FL after an early Thanksgiving visit with our kids in NC on the way down. Maybe cross paths again somewhere but not likely to be anywhere near Kansas in the winter months, for sure.
  9. In Evergreen SKP park, they have a monthly Adult coloring session. Personally, I am too type A and it increases my stress trying to stay in the lines, use exactly the right colors and shading.....
  10. Back in Evergreen COHO SKP Park in Chimacum, WA for the summer. 2016.
  11. We are back volunteering in the Carrie Blake City park in Sequim, WA for the winter. Nice gig. great place to winter, for us.
  12. Back in Sequim, washington as winter volunteer docents at the Carrie Blake city park. Should be here til May 2016. There is no bad time of year to visit this place.
  13. Hi Guys. We are coasting in the SKP Evergreen Park in Chimacum, wa for a couple-3 months before heading to Glacier NP in Sept. Not clear on where after that. We have spent the past 7 months in Sequim hosting at the city park. That might be a repeat this coming winter, too. Yeah. I look at the weather across the whole country and it looks like a disaster movie playing out. So far, this area has been the only place not plagued with weather extremes and risks. At some point we are touristing in Victoria on a day trip or two. Just don't know when. Got a fur kid we can't leave too long. Clearly, we have no plan, just like spending over 3 months in Redding 2014. We had not originally planned to even make a stop there at Christmas 2013. Hope the rally was all that was expected for the attendees. Maybe next time we can be more in the area.
  14. In Evergreen SOHO in Chimacum, WA until July 31. After that... I have absolutely no idea.
  15. Merrily and I are still in Sequim, Wa Volunteering at the City Parks. Should be here until June.... then we don't really know what we are going to do, next. Nice weather all winter. About 6 nights below 32f all winter. A few drops of rain (like now) but less than 2" all winter and temps have been mostly between 45 and 65. I call it paradise but your opinion may vary.
