CONGRATULATIONS!🎉

I have seen several apps for Android but not for Apple. If I could spoof it, I would just do that with Locast.

Well that sucks. I was hoping I could just have it set to Baltimore’s local channels and watch them anywhere we are.

It is stored in the cloud. You tube stores your recording on there server.

So If I use YouTube tv I can set the local channels to any city? Specifically Baltimore no matter where I am? If so, would that setting be locked on all my devices? How many devices can be logged on? So glad to hear that you are enjoying it.

You have it right. The more tools you have in your arsenal the better. I have a Ranger and hot spot. So between the two we are always connected. The only new thing that might be coming is Starlink.

I was just thinking. Both address are no issue, as one is your domicile address and the other is your mailing address. There is a difference between the two.

Not sure about Fl, but I use SD through SKPs. The SD address is only for registration purposes. Anything that is sent there is just forwarded to the Livingston address. As this is the main corporate office for SKPs. All of my bills, financials, insurance have the Rainbow Dr address. So I would suspect Fl. is set up the same way.

I have the same one but a different model.

I ran out once years ago. At 4am I woke up FREEZING!!! The switch over switched over and I was not aware. So now I do it manually. I keep one full tanks valve closed and when the other tank is empty, I switch over and fill the empty tank. At least if I wake up cold, I just switch over and have heat right away. They make monitors so you can see about where your tank level is. Another thing I have learned is when opening the valve of a full tank of propane is to open it slowly. For some reason if you open it to fast it screws something up.

Why get a Subaru? You should get in line for the Tesla Cyber truck.

I would think that a self driving car would only drive the posted speed limit or a certain miles an hour above it. But if you set the cruise to 90 and then hit self drive, I would think that the ticket would be on the one behind the wheel. After all, you are in the drivers seat.

You could also put in an order for a stop loss or sell at a certain price. This way the order is in with your brokerage house. Even if you lag, your brokerage house will not.

Why would you release the jaws with out your landing gear down? This is how I do it Once you have the rig where you want it - 1. lower the front legs, enough to take the weight off the truck. 2. open the jaws, disconnect the emergency brake cable and unplug the 7 pin connector. 3. pull the truck out

X4. The water is SO HARD were we are now in CA, I have to regenerate every 7-10 days.

Yup, that’s the trick.

This is why I only travel on sunny or cloudy days. I do need other factors that add more risk. It looks like someone was in the white Ford that was CRUSHED by the trailer. Hope they are OK.

I feel a little left out as it is only going to be 50 and rainy today at Jojoba Hills. MERRY CHRISTMAS and I hope that everyone’s travels are even better in 2020.

I hope not as I LOVE my Mobley. I’ve kept the sim in the Mobley just Incase they don’t cancel my plan.

This was posted on Hughes’s website: Run Your Autoformer With Confidence – A Note Regarding NFPA70 First, the NFPA 2020 proposal is not law, it is not a regulation, it has no legal authority. The NFPA is a civilian-run organization that publishes suggested safety regulations, which may or may not be adopted at some point by governmental agencies. So, who’s is trying to ban a product that has saved RVers literally millions of dollars? Who wants to eliminate a product that has made RVing safer and more enjoyable? Who’s trying to tell over 150,000 Hughes users and the American RVer they can’t protect themselves? The latest effort to ban ‘autotransformers’ is being pushed by board members of the NFPA and a competitor. One’s an executive of national campground sites, the other sells electrical equipment to RV parks and the third person spreading around misinformation is a competitor company. Why this guy? Probably because we’ve introduced a product that is far superior to their old surge protection units. The Power Watchdog. People are out to serve their own interests rather than those of the American RVer. Technically the NFPA has been recommending ‘autotransformers’ be banned since 1971, so this latest publicity stunt is nothing new. Fortunately, the NFPA board is only an advisory committee and up till now, no one has taken their advice! First thing, the Hughes Autoformer is not an ‘autotransformer’, (more on this later). But for simplicity’s sake, we are appealing this recommendation anyway and it will probably be repealed once and for all. Science and logic will win over ridiculousness and greed. Secondly, their claim is false on its face. These NFPA board members say autotransformers cause, “…severe additional stress to surrounding electrical infrastructure not accounted for in the load calculations…” Now, to the science. Let’s say a park owner “calculated” for ten campsites, for ten 50amp coaches, for ten 50amp breakers, how can the Hughes Autoformer place “severe additional stress” when no site can draw more than the “calculated” 50 amps because there’s a 50 amp breaker? You get 10% more power on whatever resistive load is running (Ohm’s law). However, on a modern RV 90% or more of the loads are inductive (air conditioning motors, microwaves, pumps). If the park customer is using 8,000 watts and 10% is resistive, that’s 800 resistive watts, the Autoformer boosts that 10%, that’s 80 watts extra out of an 8,000-watt draw, only 1% more! Hardly “severe additional stress”. If only one of the above mentioned 10 RVs had an Autoformer, that’s .001% more than his neighbors in the park. And again, ultimately no one can get more than the park owners “calculated” because of the park breakers. Ridiculousness! The simple fact is, park owners don’t want to talk about low voltage or explain to their customers why the guy with the Hughes Autoformer still is burning bright and has AC running cool when everyone else is suffering a brownout. All voltages sag when the RVers have their ACs and other necessities running. Things start getting damaged at 108 volts and lower. Most surge protectors shut down at 102 -4 volts. Meanwhile, the Hughes Autoformer is changing unusable high amps-low volts into usable high volts-low amps, thus saving equipment and blowing at least 25% more AC air. Rather than having to explain why some RVs are still working, the park owner would rather everyone suffer equally and most importantly, suffer in silence. Woodall’s Campground Management magazine mentions the proposed rule this way, “This action helps RV park owners prohibit their use (autotransformers) by having a code article to point to”. By the way, by providing unusable power, a park owner can save thousands of dollars a year. Autoformers can actually save power in the park. With the Hughes Autoformer, everything runs more efficiently. AC units pump out at least 25% more air flow with a 10% voltage boost (search amp curves vs motors). This extra airflow allows the AC units to cycle on and off more often than their low voltage neighbors. Because the Hughes user’s AC is off more often, they may be using the least amount of power in the park. The NFPA is a safety committee. RVers are far safer when their appliances and cables are not overheating due to low volts and excessive amperage. The final kicker, the NFPA recommends banning autotransformers, the Hughes Autoformer is not even an autotransformer It’s called the Hughes “Autoformer”, not the Hughes autotransformer. It’s a transformer that “automatically” boosts your voltage when needed, thus the combination of the words auto and transformer. An autotransformer has a single winding inside and the Hughes product has four windings, a different technology entirely. So, if someone looks at your grey box and says autotransformers are banned, tell them no, some board members recommend they not be connected. Secondly, you have a Hughes Autoformer which is not banned because it’s not an autotransformer.

“not allowed under the national electrical code.” If this statement is really true, you would think that Hughes would not be able to make them and sell them.

To me it is about picking the floor plan, length and something that fits into the budget. As any experienced full timer can tell you, that all rigs have issues. Maybe it’s the name, maybe it was the day it was made on? There are so many variables that go into that. I read that Teatons were a VERY well built rig. It does not seem to matter as they are out of business. So there is a see saw between price and quality. Sometimes that means nothing as I said above. Every manufacture makes a good rig, the question is, is it the one you bought?

I have a 50 amp hard wired Progressive Industries unit. Would not be with out it. I even carry a Hughs Autoformer for low voltage citations. Between the two, my rigs electronics and anything I plug in is as safe as can be.

I have made it south. Trying to deal with Goodyear soon, as it has been raining quit a bit and more rain is expected.

Prorated my tires with a $170 cost to me.
