    Newbie here but not new to pellet grills. After a few years of this and that, I have found Rec Tec grills to be the best bang for buck. The 340 model is what I bought for camping and it collapses down to 24" for traveling. I have two other rec tecs at house. They just work great, built well and second to none in customer service.

     

    Whatever you get, enjoy and have fun.

    Just bought a 340 and love it. Stable heat with very little swing for slow smoking. Quick heat up and temps high enough to be a true grill.

    Death wobble is a common problem in Jeeps and many other solid axle vehicles. There's no silver bullet cure, but common causes are worn...bushings, bearings, steering linkage, ball joints, or unit bearings. You may be able to add some caster easier than a leaf sprung vehicle, so after a good inspection of all front end components, get it in the alignment bay and add some caster. Even make sure the caster is consistent side to side, through the whole steering arc.

    Yes, this it is always caused by a worn, loose or maladjusted suspension part.  The hard part is that many time it is multiple parts that all contribute to the end result.  On one of my vehicle I could not find it, finally found an old school tech, he lifted it up with wheels about a foot off the ground, put a 6ft 2x4 under the front tire and the leverage from that showed how badly the wheel bearings where worn even though by hand they felt fine and you could not wiggle the tire.

    Getting the glasses OVER the top of the mask is the best way to prevent fogging with any type of mask.   That fogging means you're exhaled breath is going up and out.  Glasses help to hold mask down when over the top.

    Also do a figure 8 with the ear loops.  Have the top string go under the ear.

  4. Agreed that being usable and affordable for RVers is a ways off, that being said I wouldn't bet against Musk. Sure he's had failures but he succeeds a lot too.

  5. Each year you will need to renew license plate, fees vary by state. Some states require inspections.  Those inspections can be full safety inspection or just exhaust emissions tests.  Your big tax hit will be sales tax at time of purchase. Where you buy or register it can have a big impact on this tax. Best case a low state tax, worst case is state tax, county tax and city tax added on. Registering my new tow vehicle and 5th wheel in a small town in Florida vs Chicago saved me over 4000 dollars.  Advertised and negotiated pricing never include taxes unless you push for out-the-door pricing.

     

  6. Find out what programs are loading in the background, One of them may be looking for a remote connection and hanging when it cannot find. As mentioned that background app might be virus.  Have you tried, in your driveway where your notebook can still connect to wifi, or Starbucks or any other location offering free WiFi?

  7. "Do not try to confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up."

    People no long want to read opposing views, because then they would have to weigh each side to make an educated decision. They want to read things that reinforce their current believes.  So they can pick the article that is affirming and not have to suffer through an opposing view point .
