Yep, that's my experience with Coach Net too.

Those are some great speeds. Does the park have the regular request for no streaming? 

Nope. I have yet to find a park that requests that.

Enjoy your on going travels on 101. We hit Tillamook Elk's in about two-three weeks for a visit. 

Superb area. We're looking for a place (or places) we can spend summers that's along the OR or WA coasts.

Congrats on buying a campground! How many people do you think were on the network?

"my new campground" = just visiting

The campground has about 75 sites which are almost all full this weekend. Plus, there are several hotspots. Because it seemed just too high, today's WiFi download speed needed to be measured with two, different speed testers . . .

Just clocked my new campground at 101.68 Mbps using Speedof.me.

I have the Magnum AGS in my rig.  If you have other Magnum products such as the BMK and a Magnum inverter, then I would highly recommend the Magnum AGS.  They all work together very well and all use the same remote control panel.  I use SOC to determine if/when my AGS will start my generator.  I believe it is a much better indicator of battery charge than just voltage.

Ditto. The Magnum also has a temperature setting so you can set it to start up if the inside temp gets too high. For example, you're away from RV, park loses power in hot summer, ACs stop, your dog starts to roast.

A dealer installed my system. Since I also have a Magnum inverter and remote control panel, I had the network AGS version installed because you can then set all the AGS parameters via the remote.

Just wondering what made you think you couldn't drive through it? Did you see a sign, someone told you or read something about it?

My GPS.

We made it through the tunnel.

Or do I just hang a right for Interstate 5?

We found this place 2 years ago. https://juniperridgeresort.com/home/about-us-2/.  

Great, but the purpose of my post was not for you to share your secret spots. Otherwise, they wouldn't be secret.

I was just curious if others were doing what I just started doing -- not sharing great locations.

How many of you have "secret" campgrounds that you don't talk about in order to keep others away?

How do you know its Chinese and not Korean? 

I listen to a lot of Asian music . . .

Korean uses "circles" = 축하해주신 모든 분들 감사합니다

Japanese has lots of curves = ずーっと行きたかった所やっといけた

Thai uses curves, circles & accents = ที่ไหนสักแห่งเหนือสายรุ้ง

Chinese looks like buildings to me = 美国文凭办理微信

We're camping along the Chetco River in Oregon and noticed a lot of algae in the water and on the river banks. This surprised me because the river, though not really swift, is in constant motion. I thought algae blooms were still-water phenomena.

Anyway, did some Googling and found that dangerous blue-green algae (actually a bacteria called Cyanobacteria) blooms occur in this area, and I guess all over, typically from June through September. This algae can be especially dangerous for pets that swim in it. However, found a simple blue-green algae test, but also want to know if anyone has run across this stuff in their travels.

I see a lot of Chinese spam posts coming soon.

Apparently, it's all about Premium Stock Exchange Memberships  

Fascinating video

Good question, but I don't think a week is enough time to give you the feel of anything, except driving fast.

Boondock for a week, stay in a campground for a week, etc. but don't try it all.

If I vote in district #36, then I damn well want my presence in district #36 counted.   

I think the inverse is now the concern  "Are you actually present in district #36 (or wherever)?"

And so another thread heads towards the "I can live cheaper than you" competition.

Good one. They'll be more along this line after my post. Stand by.

Moving crisply along . . .

Remember that question real estate brokers always ask you from the get-go . . . and that you really hate . . . and that you want to answer with "As little as possible" . . . 

OP, what's your budget? What can you spend on an RV?

This really really matters. Because if "hefty price tag" (which you mentioned in your post) means $10,000, then that will limit your choices. If that number is $100,000, then you have more options, and on and on.

So before you start worrying about lithium battery options . . . what do you want to spend?

Did Southwire buy the Surge Guard line from TRC?

Yes, in 2017. They also started lifetime warranties like Progressive.

If we spent a lot of time in places where electric power was often overloaded and tended to experience voltage sag, I definitely would use one, but we do not. I have been using a TRC-Surge Guard power monitor device for many years. 

I don't think there are many folks who would consciously stay in campgrounds with regular voltage sags.

I think it's more likely that you would arrive at a new-to-you campground with low voltage or happen to stay at a park where voltage may drop occasionally. Since we don't always have the option of just packing up and leaving a park with bad voltage, we carry an autoformer.

From what I glean of this and other RV forums, most folks visit the same campgrounds. I'm staying at about 40 different campgrounds this year and the same a couple years ago. In this case, with so many opportunities for bad power, I wouldn't be without an Auto Former (in my case a voltage regulator) and, of course, an electrical fault protector.

   a) I wouldn't wait until voltage was low (how and when will you even know its low ??? If you see its low damage may already be done !!! What if you're not there???) that's too late and defeats the whole purpose of having one in the first place.

I'm guessing that those of us with auto formers (that aren't permanently wired up) also have an electrical fault protection system that disconnects power when voltage drops too low.

2X.  While not a gimmick, there have been few times I wished I had one.  On those rare times the voltage dropped enough that I needed one I simply shut off the AC (nothing else in my trailer is damaged by low voltage) & turned on the fan.  I do have a Progressive EMS and have found it useful.

Spare yourself, get an autoformer.

. . .  along with the guy who keeps posting them?

Our Mobley SIM has been installed in a Netgear Unite and now a Unite Explore for the past year with no complaints from AT&T.

Besides transferring the SIM from you Mobley to your Netgear, did you have to do anything else?
