Evan, The new technology, and the gadgets which utilize it, just keep coming. How were you transferring your photos to your iPad previously? Is there a USB port on the iPad that your camera transfer cable fits into? I am considering the iPad but seem to be under the impression that your are...

Thanks Tom, Excellent suggestion. Jim

Evan, Beautiful photos, beautiful family. We are picking up "Nepenthe", our 560, in late August. Have already planned to drive "slowly" back along I-90 seeing all the historic sites but this trip of yours convinced me to go even further north, maybe from Spokane, to see the Grand Coulee dam...

We are all new at something if we are going to continue to live a life of discovery. And that is what this forum is all about, people who insist on continuing to live a life of discovery and are willing to share and discuss those "discoveries" with others. I happen to live in the southwest so...

Just one thought on a wind screen. We camp a lot in the desert and I would consider that panel an essential part of the sun shade. As the sun moves across the sky (OK, as we move around our axis) you are moving chairs and tables and anything on them all day long to stay in the shade of the...

Sorry for the late reply but just saw this thread. Linda, if you are still in the market look at the Front Gate website and/or catalog. They have plenty. I never realized that you can spend over $700 for bug zappers. Anyway, here is a link to that page...

Dave, Regarding the sun canopy and the side shade panel(s). We too have a 10 X 10 "straight leg" canopy we got from Coleman. They don't offer the extra shade panels for this model but told me via email that Target does. So we bought two but haven't tried them yet. Target also sells a bug...

The really great thing is that years from now you can use these photos to see where the structural wood is installed. That may well prove very valuable should you want to mount something somewhere. Jim

Dave & Rene, Great photos. In the photo by the lake you show the sun canopy set up with sun shade panels installed. How did that hold up in the wind, particularly with the shade panels providing so much more surface area? Could you leave the canopy up at night? Jim

Steve, This thread started with me having problems with receiving email on my home computer (laptop) while traveling. It worked fine with the home router connected to our cable company but not on the road with a local "hotspot". With the help of a number of people on this forum AND a trouble...

I spent some time with the Verizon Techs yesterday and came away with a simple solution to WiFi connectivity. Since we both have our cell phones with Verizon I kept it simple and bought a 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot card. They call it MiFi since it is mobile. It will use 4G if available and 3G...

Thanks Steve. Has anyone installed, or have CI install, an AM/FM antenna on the outside of their trailers? If so, what antenna did you use? Most of what I am finding for the outside environment is either those thick white marine antennas that start at 3 feet and go to at least 8 feet or truck...

May I ask what antenna you are installing? Jim

Steve, What antenna did you get? Most of what I see is either for a shelf behind my home stereo equipment or a really big (3' or more)marine antenna. Jim

This thread has moved a bit away from my original email issue but that, I am happy to say, has been solved with the "authentication" settings laid out above. Just got back from a week in Yosemite (stayed just outside the park in a rental house since we do not yet have our Raindrop which is due...

Already having a VERY adequate tow vehicle I had not read this thread/discussion until now. But having a 2006 Ford F150 4X with a shell, which only gets 17 mpg on a good day and a tailwind, has caused me to reluctantly start looking around. Mary Anne and I have spent a lot of time tent camping...

Perhaps this doesn't belong here but the band Coldplay just released a new album called "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall". I take that to mean there is SO much more than just what you see, especially at first. I have to wonder though, what does that make the Raindrop? Jim

Pat, We are leaving for Yosemite on Friday so don't really have time to test this out now but will when I get back. Need a "hot spot" other than my own Linksys router so will need to go sit somewhere else. Why change out your Verizon phone? It has the best coverage and they offer the 4G...

Pat, While asking this forum for help I also contacted Time Warner. As you suggested it appears to be a "server authentication" issue. Here is the TW response and perhaps this will help you and perhaps others. Thank you for contacting Time Warner Cable Road Runner technical E-mail...

Linda, I had a separate email exchange with Cary on other matters and brought up this thread. I live north of San Diego and we have the ocean in front of us and the desert behind. We spend a lot of time at each but don't have AC at home because we just don't need it. As I related to Cary...
