I usually only have the hotspot on when I am using it so it has not been a problem. Prevents all those push apps from using data. I'm not on an unlimited plan.

I use the same ssid and password on my home wireless and mt phone hotspot. That way all the wireless devices can be used with both with no changes to the connected devices.

I vote for one also. There seems to be a lot of interest.

I did exactly what you are planning except I didn't install the waterproof inlet I just wired a 15 foot #12 extension cord to the box and roll it up in the front storage compartment. Just wire the extension cord green (ground) to bare ground, white to white, and black to both the black and red in the box. I just leave the front compartment for ajar when I use the connection.

I have had problems with the regulators becoming contaminated on my Weber Q grill. I use a hose connected directly to a 20 lb. propane tank.  I think it is Mr Heater that makes a propane filter with the same fitting as the small 1 lb. tanks. I put one on the input to my grill and replace it every year and have not had the problem since I started using the filter. This will only work if the grill has a built in regulator and runs directly from a propane tank. It won't work with a grill or other appliance that uses low pressure propane connection. 

I usually find these at Tractor Supply.

Happy travels,

With an automatic antenna (which can only "see" one satellite at a time), the Wally is a single-tuner receiver. This means you cannot view a second channel while recording on the first. The geeks on the satellite TV forums report that, if you set it up with a three-LNB antenna (a fixed antenna with three nodes like used in a residential installation), the Wally actually has a second tuner and will allow you to watch one channel and record another. I've never tested this claim.

TIP: use "Quote" when replying as I have here if you want to ask a question of a specific person.

Are you sure the Wally only has a single tuner? I have a Wally and can have its record 1 channelnwhile I watch another channel. That makes me think it has 2 tuners. When I use it at home with a dish with 3 feed horns I can record any channel while watching another. In the rv with a Pathway x2 dish I can only record another channel if it is on the same satellite as the channel I am watching.

You are correct, I thought they were asking if they could use it and get 30 Amps though. 

I guess we we're looking at the question differently. Hopefully with all the answers he understands what he needs or maybe he is more confused. Hopefully it is that he understands😅.

You need two of them to use the 30 amp plug. 

I think you can use the 30 amp plug with just one generator but it will only provide 15 amps.

I'm glad you got it fixed.

If It is the same model Mach as I have the squirrel  cage is replaced from the top. The insulation in the chamber with the squirrel cage had come loose and was hitting the blower and causing a scraping noise. It is a pain to get the housing apart and I had to move the finned coil to get the motor and blowers out of the housing. I didn't need to remove the cage fron the motor shaft but If it is like the home furnace squirrel cage blower I replaced you need to be sure how far it slides on the motor shaft. I forgot to check before I losened  it so I had to move it a few times until I got it that it didn't scrape the housing when running when I did mt home furnace.

It is probably less than an hours work. There was some of the aluminum foil duct tape on the housing that I had to remove so you might need some of that to seal things up during reassemble.

Pennsylvania has a network of cameras on the pa511.com website. Just go to the web site and select cameras. It's not a real intuitive interface.

I'm not sure if it is available on all Garmin units but we have a 770RV and it has "voice command". It works well in a quiet environment. If I'm pulling a hill in the truck it doesn't seem to hear your voice correctly because of the engine noise. It works good if you are driving and can't use your hands or eyes for entering data.

The Carryout G2+ does need a power inserter to operate. The power inserter contains the circuitry that determines the satellite service that it is set to use ( dish tv, direct tv or bell ). 

You can allways boondock or dry camp in a campground. Just disconnect your power and water. Fill your water tank and make sure your battery is charged then disconnect. The advantage of doing this is that if you run into a problem with water or run out of battery power you can easily connect and not ruin your day.
