    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West 2 Months in California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico

    Warm Spot Dog, Thanks for the kind words. Retirement has been good for us but it seems like you do pretty well as it is! That Zion trip was a thing of beauty. Next winter I think we'll probably try to rent a place along the Colorado R. corridor, somewhere from just N. of Yuma to just S. of...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Cellular data service for the FWC

    Any less than 5GB/month available? This link might be helpful... EVDO Mark, the information on EVDO helped me understand a little better how things work and how fast they work...Thanks. You can avoid the contract by buying your modem direct. I got a Verizon Aircard for about $120 online and...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Cellular data service for the FWC

    Wired! gsbfree, Sounds like you've got cyber on the go wired! I'm not much of a tech guy and am looking for the bare bones to let us check an email and weather once in awhile when we aren't near a Wi-Fi hotspot using just our existing laptop. Ideal for me would be an AirCard or USB plugin...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Cellular data service for the FWC

    There have been some posts (Jack, Buzzman, Teri's Joy) that deal with using cellular data service for laptops while on the road. It seems like this would be a real plus for us some of the time too and we're looking for further recommendations on both the hardware (usb vs card?) and brand of...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West First trip west

    Wish I would have seen this sooner! Buzz, We were on our way south when you were posting this one and I just found it while doing a search for PC cell connections. What a great trip and outstanding trip report! Thanks. I REALLY wish we would have seen this before we picked up the camper and...

    Single Battery? Scott, Glad to see you've got it ready to go! I'll be curious to hear reports on how the panel does on keeping up with your power use for extended stays. From the pics it looks like you have a single battery, true? Happy Trails! 'birds

    Pics & $ leadsled9, Good information, thanks. We'd really enjoy seeing some pics if you have time to post some and were wondering if the $800 Chicali mentioned to us was close for the cost to do the work?? Thanks again! 'birds

    Welcome and Thanks! realbtl, Welcome to WTW and thanks for the good write-up on the Glacier Park area. Darling Daughter is transferring to University of Montana at Missoula next year and I'm sure we'll be spending more time in western Montana for at least the next couple years. Susan lived in...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Propane hell

    May in E. Oregon! Our propane detector looks like this. The sensor you have is the one Stan had in his email pic. Maybe the solution will be to switch to one like yours. When I read "T-Crimps" I immediately write RE-CRIMP them with pliers... I will do the recrimp. Might even put on marine...

    Took me two days of poking in to read through all this but a great thread for a great trip! :thumb: I want to retire too... :o Pods8, Glad you enjoyed reading about us geezers :) My older brother says there needs to be a system where you're retired when you're young and can take the best...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Propane hell

    P.s. ... I have run batteries down to 11.4 volts (then the cut out switch kicks in) and never heard either alarm complain... Jack, does your sensor look like the picture I attached to the last post?? When you say "the cut out switch kicks in" is that the cut out switch you installed yourself...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Propane hell

    If you can still run the heater, then you have enough voltage - the heater won't light if the voltage is too low. The green LED, if I recall, is about 12.1 volts or above - that's plenty for the sensor. It sounds like you have a faulty sensor or a wiring problem to the sensor. I have run...

    Where's that puppy live? I wonder who's crawl space he lives in during the winter! They're probably glad to have him though, keeps the hanta mouse and 'widow populations under control. Might become an eco friendly pest control fad.

    California?/4" Foam/COOL! Duane you nailed it they all have to come south to realize their potential. OOPs I guess my born and bred in CA is showing. California teams did pretty well in the NCAA D-1 College World Series up 'till around '04. Then the U of Michigan launched a few softballs into...

    Enough time, huh? I think us southerners tend to forget that the Sun rarely sets in summer in alaska. I get this mental picture of kids having PLENTY of time to play T-ball... at what? 3AM?? :D mtn-high That's true, once the snow and frost are off the fields they do play long but noise...

    Darling Daughter Mark, It's surprising but there are a lot of talented athletes in all sports in Alaska. We have a couple kids from Juneau on major league baseball teams and one of Darling Daughter's friends set the Pac-10 women's 3 point scoring record at OSU this last season. Carlos Boozer...

    Gorge at George Pods8, Great flicks of the basalt columns and you climbing. You'd make a heck of a sheep/goat hunter!? Ever think of hiring out as a packer:D You just keep hittin' me where I used to live:thumb: Before it was a "major concert ampitheater" (1969) it was the party spot for...

    Alaska Buzz, There were some great people born in '50...like you and me:thumb: I just replied to your post on the trip report site but thought I'd give some encouragement here on your trip to revisit Alaska. The main Alaska (Alcan) Highway is paved nearly all the way now and it's a pretty...
