  1. Which is why I back up as I do before I lower the tailgate. I use the lock on the center of the front bay as the centering point in the backup camera. I am seriously all about aids. I saw a friend that made a stop block so that when he was unhooked he could back right up and never worry about hitting his rig. I made one and have carried ever since. I don't always need it but when I need it I have it. I just don't see one here, but, hey, whatever works for each person is the best solution for them.
  2. But the OP says they do have a camera.
  3. At first blush, this looks like a solution searching for a problem. Perhaps I am missing something. When I get ready to hookup, I back the truck up using the rearview camera to be centered on the rig. The DW then opens the tailgate and I back closer. I can see both the hitch and the kingpin in the rearview mirror and when I am a few inches out the DW adjusts the height of the trailer as needed and I complete backing and hooking. If I need to I can follow all these steps by myself but it involves more in and out of the truck.

    Spice Holder

    No idea how well they work, but it would seem that it would take an awful lot of them unless you do not use many spices. We have a couple of these and spices do not jump out. IKEA Spice Rack

    Water hose help!

    You are correct, and that was point I was going for. NSF certification is not that big of a deal for a water hose if one is satisfied with the nature of the components. And as to the NSF certification of RV water systems, why would there be and more than a standard house or apartment? 😃

    Which leads back around to the NSF certification. One component certified does not certify the whole product. NSF certification is not an inexpensive certification as it examines not only the materials but the manufacturing process as well. Believe it or not, inexpensive Camco water hose has NSF certification. I still won't use a Camco hose because I don't need the aggravation of handling a hose that is uncooperative.

    I would say that unless something is NSF certified you have no way of knowing for sure. As you noted there are some materials that are unsafe so doing your homework on the hose construction would be the other way.
  8. Just going to throw another one out there. I have had accounts at Security Service, Navy Federal and other over the years. Since you are going to open an account for where you live, I would look at Ent Credit Union. They are the largest in Colorado and have more locations so would likely be more convenient. Oh, yes, and I have an Ent account as well.
  9. Indeed! In the pic I posted I'd swear that one guy is in a Lowes vest. Anyhow, I find it hard to believe that a Prius would have a roof strong enough for half that load. I think it would be worth the delivery fee. LOL
  10. That's where I see them too. Renology makes a flexible solar panel and that is what first came to mind but I could not see how it could be flexible enough to roll up like an awning.
  11. Can you grab a screen shot? I am not sure how that would even work.
  12. I know that but thanks anyhow. I just prefer to clear almost all cookies. Most of my logins are saved in Last Pass so it is easy enough to relog in.
  13. Go into settings and then Privacy and Security. From there go into Cookies and other site data. Look for the setting Clear cookies and site data when you quit Chrome. Make sure that setting is turned OFF.
  14. Another thought comes to mind. Do you have a program or automated browser function that is clearing cookies every day? I know I need to relog in every time I run CCleaner as all the cookies are deleted.
  15. The savings is only $20 now. Nothing says that circumstances might require another adjustment next year. Hopefully they won't but ...

    Neither. It is a gray color. And it is clearly labeled safe for drinking water.

    I have been using the Zero-G hose I got at Lowes. I like that it is flexible and lightweight. It is certified for potable water. Comes in 25, 50 and 100 foot lengths. Zero-G Hose
  18. The Fire tablets should not be used as an example since they operate off a truncated version of Android and like Apple they push you toward using their own apps.
  19. Custom does not have to be super expensive. Take a look at Dune Sport RV. You start with a basic plan (and they have some close to what you envision) and then fill in the options you want.
  20. They are basically the same. We just like the Firestick in terms of ease of use. Our daughter has Roku and the interface seems a bit clunkier, at least in my opinion.
  21. We have a Firestick and it works for everything. Subscription wise we have Prime, Netflix, Disney+ and CBS All Access. You can also use it to cast to your TV from a cell phone.
