  1. i think I would bet a million dollars if I had that much that Escapees would rather not deal with covid. I can not think of any entity that wants to deal with it. But just like any disaster you have to deal with it the best and most responsible way you can. You would do the same thing to prepare for and recover from a natural disaster.
  2. Some place just have limited rv parks. In my case I have sent a picture and have references that live in the park full time. I have anywhere from 3 months to a max of 9 months of paid receipts from there to from 2011 to 2019. I don't know the new owner but the old one lived and ran the park. The new one has a park manager who I believe advocated for me but was denied based on new owners age restriction. I related to her about needing to be in that area for medical care the proximity of family to assist me. It is his park so his choice but that concept is a little worrisome if it were to become a trend. In the case of this park my feeling are not hurt but I am somewhat disappointed. I wonder if the new owner has any experience as it is common for workers that travel to do work at local plants come to spend months to even the occaisional year on a project. IE:They had three in for almost a year installing a major solar installation less than a mile from the park. As far a lying about the year, I have no wife and can't lie with a straight face. Also if you know anything you can have an idea about age if you want to use that as a criteria. (exception may be airstreams) I will figure this out but thought it might be interesting to bring up as it is something to consider when traveling.
  3. This has been discussed before so I am just relating that today I was told that a private park that I have stayed at for multiple months for almost every year since at least 2011 has turned me down for this winter. The old owner sold about a month ago and the new owner has said they don't want any rv older than a 2015 and it does not matter what it looks like. Far short of the 10 year rule most of us know of. That is a little concerning for folks with older rigs that still look good. I know this is just one park. What would you do if you were traveling and ended up somewhere that had restrictions on even overnight asphalt boondocking and there were no public campgrounds near or they were full. Makes me at least slightly nervous about traveling in an older rv. Premature maybe but still concerning.
  4. I believe I remember restricted air flow due to clogged coils mimics low refrigerant as it affects the pressure of the refrigerant in the condensor and or the evaporator. The same for lack of a proper fan flow through the condenser coil.
  5. OK, I got the Mobley from a member that was not using it. Also ended up getting a new Sim for a grand total of $5.40 on the Sim. All is working well except I can not get it to not turn off. I had a choice of 30 minutes or 2 hours and of course I chose that option. My old one allowed me an option to not turn off at all. I have some old printout that says when the firmware updates I will have the choice. If I read it right the firmware for now is newer than the one listed is newer than the one from way back when. I don't see anyway to update the firmware. If I can't fix it to stay on I will still be happy and grateful to the member that gave it to me but sure would be nice to get it set to not turn off. Any help would be appreciated.
  6. probably just confused. It can be easy on line vs in person where you can immediatly clear up misunderstanding each other.

    note the question was about Rainbow Plantation NOT Rainbows End.
  8. I don't know if it is common but I have been few places in some states or local areas that have a much higher daily and weekly fee. There is some kind of deal where they are a taxed at a higher rate for that rental but if you book for 3 months or longer it is quite a bit cheaper. The first time I ran into this was near Memphis Tn. I have stayed at a different park a little further out of the town itself and though he is supposed to do the same he will often fudge and charge a reasonable flat fee if you have been a good tenant. usually this is done for no more than 14 days and is done in cash. The park did not really want to rent for less than 3 months because of this I assume local law.
  9. I have been an Escapee since March 1997 and sometimes I still feel like a beginner. 🙄 Welcome aboard.
  10. Thanks. Maybe more questions to come. maybe.
  11. One of our kind Escapees members has help me with one they are no longer using. It appears functional and I put my sim in it. However I need to sort out how to make it work and be sure there is no issue with billing them as each has an assigned "phone no." Any guidance will be appreciated. Are the phone no's to the sim or the uinit?
  12. Welcome to Escapees. Beyond that I am of no use in answering your question.
  13. Short and barely related. Last week I talked to 4 or 5 reps obviouly from other countries. Pretty clear understanding. The last one was a nice lady from S. Carolina and she was the one I had the most trouble understanding.
  14. Dutch I would agree that might be less portable but as I have the cables it has been good for me and I am kind of hating change these days. I am exploring other options but of course it is more complicated since to get on line I have to haul everything out to another location. There is a public library near but is closed on Sun. and Mon. You can get a signal from the parking lot but the visuals outside are difficult for me. Looking at the neatgear option now and anything else that is promising. Sure is frustrating about the offering where you have to pair up with others to get a reasonable cost.
  15. So from what I understand now and in conjunction with help from you folks the Mobley was always 4G. Next step for me looking in to repair while still looking for a replacement. What I really like about it is the portability and until the day it died the reliability.
  16. Does this mean the staff was older also? In my limited experience I have never seen any older staff in a phone store.
  17. I got mine to the AT&T company store yesterday. The guy I worked with seemed pretty knowledgealbe and honest. Tried several different ways to see if it was revive-able but no luck. Tried to locate one in this area in their system but no luck. Suggested a couple of other sources I could try. I thought I had found a return at a Bestbuy across town but didn't work out. I am going to give it a week to see what I can come up with,t even repair, then I will have to go with something else. Just really hate to lose the plan. Obvioulsy search is more difficult with limited wifi accessability and time.
  18. OK seems mine died. Sim still good. Anyone got one they might part with? For now I am limited to where I can get free wifi which may be once a day if I am lucky.
  19. Told to me by a trusted medical professional about 2 days ago. A young boy with a brain tumor needing treatment asap also tested positive for Covid. I don't know the severity but not the worst at that time. Couldn't be taken in by that facility and treated for the tumor until the Covid issue is resolved one way or the other. They will work with the facility he was taken to as much as possible. The person that related this to me is very upset and hurt. Let us just say it is in the Mississippi/Alabama area.
  20. I know things fail but mine has been flawless since I got in in Mar. 2017. I have been trying to figure out if it is just a tower signal issue that would be temporary. Almost 3 hours and multiple people on the phone with no resolution. I think they sincerely tried to help but the AT&T process really/still sucks. The last person I spoke to was even from the US (S. Carolina) but their accent was more than overseas folks. I don't have another device to try the sim in unless I can find a friend with one.
  21. Any one have their Mobley quit in the last couple of days. Possibly due to change from 3G to 5G.
