  1. Water (fresh, black, and gray) has been our limitations. We are 50 gallons fresh, 36 gallons gray same size for black. Not so much fresh in that fresh water anywhere in gallon jugs on up etc. We also have a freshwater bladder that we have used for extended stays. It’s grey and black and we must watch. As far as black goes we tried and gave up with the composition toilet. It did not work out for us. Never got far enough with the composition toilet to try the combination of gray and black tanks. Even when “allowed,” we do not dump our gray on the ground. If the stay is long enough, we use the macerator pump into our 42-gallon Tote along and take it to the proper facility and refill the freshwater bladder.
  2. We installed a RV Air Conditioner 15K Quiet AC Unit with Heat Pump, Remote Control RP-AC3800-W-KT on our trailer about two years ago. Can’t tell you how impressed we are with this unit. Yes expensive but the interior noise difference is significant and we have used the heat pump portion of the AC in 20 degree weather with no problems. Bought ours at this link
  3. Regarding the adjustable pressure regulators. How do you set them up? Water in the RV running or all water outlets in RV closed? I ask this because for years I set mine at 45/50 with all water shut off inside the trailer. Recently, when camping a new paper licensed trailer pulled in next to us. When the owner was setting up he was told to hook up regulator to the city connection, go inside and run on the shower and then set the pressure regulator at no greater than 55psia and then turn off the shower. The owner even showed me these steps in his set up steps provided by the dealer. He asked my opinion, and I told him I set mine up with all water in the rig closed. Have I been doing my water setup wrong for 20+ years?
  4. Caveat, our Nash 17 is 22 feet long and very well insulated. Last year the OEM air conditioner (A/C) gave up and we replaced it with a RecPro /Houghton 15,000 BTU non ducted air conditioner/heat pump (A/C). I can begin to tell you how much quieter the Houghton is than the old OEM A/C. I then modified the power cord from the A/C by cutting the power cord I would say about 2 feet coming out of the trailer’s breaker box and wired this end into this a single gang non-metallic square cable box, The other end of the power cord from the A/C that was cut I put on a on a 15-amp male plug so when we have 30-amp available I just leave the A/C plugged into the single gang . Why cut the power code? The modification went further in that we bought a 15-amp outside extension cord and ran it out through the existing power cord door to the outside of the trailer. All we do now is if we are mooch docking or running off our Honda EU 2000i generator is unplug the modified A/C male plug from the single gang that is wired to the breaker box on the trailer, plug that modified male plug in the female side of the extension cord and then to a normal household plug or the generator. After setting the frig and hot water heater to run off propane we can run the A/C off a normal 15-amp AC household outlet or the Honda. We even can stop lunch and plug the modified power cord from the A/C into our 2,000 watt “Solar Generator” and have A/C while we are stopped.
  5. Late to the game here. I have had of these link to 3,000 watt inverter for about 3 years. Little to no parasitic draw mostly because it has no constant on USB ports. I have had no problems with the two.
  6. Thanks I saw that. I just don't understand the correlation with the new PC. I assure you the ads did not appear on the old pc.
  7. Any way to remove all the ads that appear on the right-hand banner Browse Forum tab? . I got a new PC the banners for RV Online , Campground View etc. now appear.
  8. Agree with Kirk regarding camper leveler blocks and the Level Mate. When we had our single axle trailer, we used the BAL 28050 a lot assuming the camping pad was firm . It was not very usable on non-firm (muddy or sandy) for the BAL base. Several times the BAL would just sink the surface. Yes, we had the same problems with camper level blocks and even the Andersen leveling system. We added to our STUFF we camp with link to loading ramps for the not so solid ground. The Level Mate is a great tool.
  9. Ok, I just don’t understand why it just started recently. For almost 10 years the Mobley has been functioning without flaw and just a few months ago this started. WillB, I can reboot my PEPWAVE Surf Solo II remotely but then it just goes back and picks up the degraded performance of the Mobley. I guess I’ll change my router priority to be the Visible phone first then the Mobley. Thanks,
  10. The ZTE Mobley AT&T car connect has been the primary internet access tool for years now. I have the SIM card installed in the original ZTE box device. In the last few months, I have noticed a degradation of service in that when I first fire up the device, I get the normal 10up/ 15-20 down. After about 2 -3 hours of constant on but no activity on my parts the upload speeds stay the same around 10 but the downloads degrade to less than 2 mmps. Connectivity is not lost but performance down load sufffers. I can unplug the ZTE and plug it back in and the performance recovers. The ZTE is the original SIM card. Our home 20 is in Angelina County so I don’t think it is a traffic problem. Has anybody else noticed this situation.
  11. Don't know ifthis is clsoe but it is in North East Houston. We use to use Affordable Stoorage of Kingwood They even have a little lake that touched the property than you could fish from.
  12. The primary purpose of my visible phone is creating a hotspot to broadcast to my router. Here is my question, does the “New” visible plan change the 5-meg up/down speed cap when the phone is used as a hot spot? Yes, I know the video shows fantastic speed, but he is not using he phone as a hotspot.
  13. I am not advocating this link to you tube, but this guy claims that he has figured out a work around for they current Starlink equipment. His explanation begins around 9 minutes into the video.
  14. Two members of my family have bought link to Ameri-lite by Gulf Stream. I think they are 259BH. The Ameri-lite line is a basic trailer, but I was impressed because the freshwater tank was enclosed under the bed, it looked to be fully insulated walls, ceiling and floor and we have had them in 20° with no freezing problems. I do not believe the roofs are walk on.
  15. Hemphill/Yellowpine close to Toledo Bend reservoir. Saw 2.1 ° at 0400 on 02/16. It has not been above freezing since 02/15. Maybe 4 inches of snow on the ground. We have been in our trailer in our pole barn since 02/16. Very intermittent power. Apparently, we are on that rolling blackout schedule because we never lose power for over maybe to 3 to 4 hours. I threw the critical path switch (medical room, well pump and aerobic septic system) so these run straight off the battery bank and channel all shore power to the battery banks. This is the first time in 10 years that my 7K of solar has not been able keep the batteries charged and we have put nil back into the grid since 02/13. Surely am glad I had the 500-gallon propane topped off just a week ago. I may have to breakdown and look an emergency standby generator.
