I use a plain old SOS pad and elbow grease. Seriously, a soap-impregnated steel wool pad works very well. My 18yo coach was chalking so bad it was like erasing the blackboard with your hand.

This thing will pull in a signal from a half-mile away as long as it's a clear shot to the broadcast antenna. I mount it on top of my 5er's ladder.

I have an excellent repeater but it's not under $100

No RV, no apparent address... so where do you live?

I guess so.

You still need a provider. Who will that be?

Daylight saving time, not 'savings' time

It's Johns. This population isn't. I like being healthy.

Get off my lawn.

They get extremely hot, and I would be very hesitant to mount them directly on a rubber roof. I glued one on top of a conventional panel to provide ventilation.

NM tracks, but my absentee ballot has been such a nightmare I don't know if it will count. It arrived in CA despite the county clerk telling me it wouldn't be forwarded, and after I'd signed an affidavit that I didn't receive a ballot at home. Replacement ballot arrived yesterday. I voted with the forwarded ballot, sent back by express mail with tracking. Called clerk. Vote will count. What a hassle. The only business in the country still on paper: medical bills and voting.

google, not goggle

The post office cares what address is on your credit card?

With a TPMS I don't have to.

USPS had online access in 1980?

I don't understand why going into a post office will make a 'bad' address valid.

Same here. I would never sit by a wash machine for a half hour. And I rarely use a dryer as a few hours in the sun can do that job.

I'll be there, but darn careful with masks and distancing. In Quartzsite now suffering with this stubborn heat.

It doesn't seem to matter if I sign in. The topics are gray colored, but I can still open them and respond.

doing it again today, plus a 504 Gateway timeout

I thought it was about new campground design.

Got here yesterday. Have to endure a couple days of heat before it cools down. Trees, bushes are barely hanging on with all the heat and presumably no rain. We need some rain!

Intermittent.. still doing it.

Yes, 18 years with my wonderful 2002 Okanagan 5th wheel. I'm on the road 7 months of the year, and my cabinets are still on the walls and my roof is still in great shape. I guess it was about a year of ownership before I got fed up with RV parks and purchased 3- 120w carry-around panels. That got old real fast, they're bulky and heavy, so I put them on the roof with big screws and lots of Dicor. Made sure I could tilt them for winter use. I started with 4 - T105 batteries, then moved up to 8 because I'm a big power user. Then went to 8 AGMs when got tired of adding water. Boy that's heavy. Now I have a 100ah 48v LifePo battery pack (135lb) which I'm hoping will be the last battery I ever buy. I have 6 panels which is about the limit on my roof. I've been through several inverters, including a Xantrex, Cotek, something else I can't remember, and now an Outback 3400w, which is a monster and hopefully the last inverter I'll ever buy. I've been through 12v, 24v, passed on 36v and now running 48v with a Victron 48v->12v 30a converter to supply 12v to the coach. The nice thing about that is it's a constant 12.8v, no wild fluctuations from a 12v converter. For shore charging I have a couple Schauer 48v golf cart 17a chargers. The company modified them for my LifoPo free of charge. Oh, I forgot I did have another panel fail, but I left it up there and glued a flexible panel over the top of it. I can't recall why I didn't have it replaced under warranty. It wasn't a BP..some Chinese brand maybe. It's a pain to get up there and replace a panel, and the flexible ones are pretty cheap so maybe that's why. I don't want to put a flexible panel directly on the roof because they get very hot. My panels are in series, running anywhere from 80 to over 100 volts. I like that because I do not like combiner boxes and fat wire, and the Outback 60amp controller handles it just fine.
