    Cheap wifi

    My library at home is over 30TB so I would bring some video on a 4TB drive. Give me something to watch. I have my MacBook Air with me just because of astrophotography so it doubles as my "TV" - don't need much screen in a 550! So access to the whole library is worth the money for starlink for...

    Cheap wifi

    Nice! Trying to think where I had trouble - the Adirondacks are usually pretty tree covered. I think in at a KOA in Missouri I couldn't get a signal. On our big trip last May it was the only spot over the 25 days.

    Cheap wifi

    I do have the standard that I bought two years ago for camping and traveling. A few times trees have vexed me but I'd say 90% of the time I get enough signal for video to watch at bedtime. I no longer bring a ton of video to watch locally (movies, TV files) and just stream video from my home...

    Cheap wifi

    Good info on a YouTube channel called DISHYtech. In the past that channel has tested both the standard dish and the mini in motion with his Model Y. Using suction cups since the Model Y has a glass roof. Suctioned inside the car. The mini a bit easier to power than the standard, I think because...

    EV - TV

    I just got an EV and haven't towed yet. I'm expecting both things to happen, less range and yes the CI won't be charged while driving. I think estimates are a range loss in the neighborhood of 40%. I'll be taking a long trip in May and will document the results. I'll try to post results here...

    New Water Heater Option for Camp-Inn

    Hi, I was thinking of doing just this, keeping the fridge in the Jeep while driving. I looked in the store but do not see the "galley tote accessory" that you speak of, thinking that something should be there while traveling if the fridge is not. Also going to get the water heater. I have...

    Wheel Lock Key Assembly Protection

    I bought a new one of these a few months back and they now come with a cover for the lock. Probably saw Cosmos video. :)

    Inquiry Newbie Here/texas Meetups

    Brian from DIY Outdoor Life has a few videos on Texas Bushwhacker camper tours. If I remember right he has gone there the last couple of years so it's probably an organized get together.

    Iso Of A Refrigerator

    I bought the Bouge based upon a positive review by Hobotech YouTube channel. My old fridge would not fit in my new 550 hence why I needed a new one. I don't remember my old fridge having this problem, but there are differences - I always kept it in the back of the Jeep so it was not so enclosed...

    Iso Of A Refrigerator

    Thanks for the good idea. I ordered a battery operated one. I'll do some testing and report back.

    Iso Of A Refrigerator

    My recent trip I had issues with my version of that model. I had it set to 41 degrees yet things at the bottom froze. The difference is I also have the BougeRV insulation cover. It has vents in the appropriate locations. Do you think it's why I had issues? The cover restricting air flow too...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    Hi everyone. I'm just outside of totality here at home (actually I'm at 99.8%) and even though tomorrow here is looking to be pretty cloudy I have the rig setup to capture what I can. Attached is the Sun a few minutes ago. If I manage to capture anything good tomorrow I'll upload it here. I'm...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    I had a tire cover with that saying on my Wrangler. Yes your Jeep is exempt from the 'wave'. I find that Jeep Gladiators tend to not participate in the wave ritual either. But that's just my own theory.

    Update We Did It!

    Sweeney do you know offhand if I could get the parking brake added on? I would do that at the next CICO if its possible. Thanks in advance.

    Update We Did It!

    The 550 doesn't have the option of a roof mount. I did get the solar kit for the 550 where one can attach a portable panel to the camper. Haven't done it yet tho. Just wheeling it around the driving/garage. My driveway is mostly flat but a bit of an incline. My assumption would be that the...

    Update We Did It!

    I figured for me it's the only camper (550) I'm ever going to own so I have the furnace and lithium. The furnace was nice to have on my last camping weekend in September in central New York. I wish I had ordered the parking brake. :^\
