Rich, I'm betting you have the newer model where the bladders zip together, unlike the old style that just had a piece of foam between them. I have had both and the newer style is a bit better, imho, although I never had any issues with the other. Either way, I love my sleep number.

Yeah but for those of us with full fairings on a Volvo, the crook has to shimmy his fat ass under there....with something big enough to hold that much diesel. Both are hard to do. No sense draining it out of a punched hole if you cant contain it.

Glad to help. I have locking caps on my truck. The thieves we see around here are using small 12v pumps and the filler neck. They are skipping the trucks with the anti siphon necks and locking caps. These caps wont keep out the determined thieves but it will deter the guys looking for an easy score. Nothing is theft "proof" but these are theft "resistant", I guess, and like you said they are a little "piece of mind".

Try this site...fits '97 to '13

but those can be real fun 🙉

Will there be any Dr. Pepper??

Getting the new account and number fixed mine last month, no trouble since. Instead of "No Data" mine consistently shows "Data Usage: 1.00 MB used".

And they will want to replace it with a refurb. I wasn't happy about that at all. I moaned and whined so they refunded half the price of my new one and I took the refurb. Which didn't fix the issue anyway. They will not tell you what that "fair usage" amount is but it appears that if you exceed it Verizon is the one flipping the switch on and off. It is not a hardware issue.

Let me know how this goes. I know what hell I went through to get mine fixed when it did the same thing. Are you a heavy downloader? They tried to tell me I had exceeded the "fair usage amount", which wasn't possible. They eventually got mine fixed but it took me almost 2 weeks, a replacement jetpack and finally 1 kid with some above average intelligence.

Sleep Number makes an RV King size bed. I had a Sleep Number in the S&B, figured I would have one in the RV. I bought one direct from Sleep Number for the old RV, it is offered as an upgrade in new DRV's.

Ok Joel...you jinxed me. I woke up the computer and it said I had no internet. Looked at the jetpack and all seemed ok. I rebooted the jetpack and all is well. Wanna guess what today is??

Here is a flow chart that may help. It says "CDL" but the weight listed is the same for the class of drivers license needed for an RV.

I do not know where you get the impression that people with long trailers are hauling " something expensive to shows, events, races, etc". but that is not really correct, plus if they are hauling something expensive to a race then they may need a DOT number, a CDL and several other things. You claimed to have done over 2 years of research looking for an RV being ticketed for over length, yet you never asked in the HDT forum. There are a few there that have been ticketed for over length and a whole lot of over length RV's there that haul nothing other than their home, certainly not anything "expensive to shows, events, races, etc". I stop racers disguised as RV'ers all day long. I haven't seen them or real RV'ers avoiding my area so it appears that both your opinion about what long RV's haul and them avoiding certain areas may not be as accurate as you want to believe. I do know some over length RV'ers that avoid my area but as Kirk pointed out, there are tons of RV's that are not concerned since they aren't over length. Your analogy is like saying speed enforcement will make people avoid an area. I think it simply makes them drive the speed limit in that area....or the speeders are just willing to take their chances since the odds of being stopped are very very slim. As far as RV's being stopped and ticketed for the wrong class of license there has to be a reason for an officer to stop them. It has nothing to do with the cost of the drivers car or his "very expensive coach". As long as they aren't driving like some sort of fool and/or aren't visibly violating the law or crashing their RV, they will not get stopped and therefore will never be cited for the DL issue. Being over length, on the other hand, is a visible violation but if you ask the average police officer he is too busy running from call to call to take notice of the length of a vehicle. Now your specialized DOT units and the Highway Patrol are totally different, but their numbers are much smaller than regular patrolmen.

Go wander over to the HDT forum. I personally know of 4 that have been stopped and ticketed. One of them was ticketed by one of my co-workers....for 68 feet.

Bad jetpack????

Joel, mine has been on for 3 payment cycles and never been off yet.

Works on my S7 and my Galaxy Tablet. Neither are "brand new" models but they aren't "old" either.

Not true at all. Pdanet is alive and well. I used Pdanet and a tablet on Verizon up until I signed up for Verizon's new unlimited hotspot plan 2 months ago.

Joel, I am confused. Mostly by the large difference in results on the first test you listed and why the big difference in the speed test sites....also is there any way to determine which of your theories may be more or less correct? Is there anything else that could cause that big of a difference? 3 sites are relatively close to the same and Fast.com is way lower?

Using the definition found in Websters: Definition of similar 1: having characteristics in common : strictly comparable The way that it was always taught to me is "does their license allow them to drive the class of vehicle they are operating?" That is "similar", ie "comparable".

After discussing prices and discounts, the cheapest way (for me) was to leave the phone and the tablet on the post paid account and add a second, pre paid account, just for the hot spot.

I'll be interested in this comparison. You mentioned the internal antenna on the 8800L so I wonder if it will make a difference. If so, I'll buy one.

I had a regulator similar to the one docj listed....until it broke on a recent trip. I used the old cheapo inline regulators I had laying around. After I got home I thought I had poor pressure but it didn't bother me enough to get off my butt and do anything about it..until I read this thread. I went to the RVWaterFilterStore and bought the the one DonCoyote listed in his post. I also bought two of the inline gauges they sell. I put the gauges on the cheap regulator, just to see what they would read. I have 70psi in and about 45 out. Then I installed the new regulator. I still have 70psi in and now 50psi out....and I have a ton more flow at the faucet than I had with the cheap one. Is this gauge over priced like some say? Maybe but it has the best "flow" I have ever seen in a straight, inline, regulator. I never noticed a lack of flow with the adjustable one but I never really liked it anyway. I always wondered "what if some ne'er do well walks by and cranks up the pressure"? Now I just have to worry about some ne'er do well stealing my pretty inline gauges

Cherie or Chris, when I signed up they gave me a free hotspot...an Ellipsis basic, no frills, jetpack. Would it be worth the money to buy an 8800L? I retire soon and will start traveling fulltime. While traveling I can't guarantee the great reception I'm getting now on the freebie jetpack. I really don't want to do the external antenna (7730) thing if I can avoid it but I will if that's the best way to pull in a better signal.
