Fresh back from Talking Rock RV Park, my RV Starlink decided it was time to retire. I opened a support ticket. Days passed. Nothing. I followed up. More days. still nothing. Another follow-up. At this point, I was basically arguing with myself on their help portal. Finally, I snapped and escorted the useless space-age Frisbee to the dumpster, where it was quickly swallowed by an RV park’s worth of Labor Day leftovers.
Before sealing its digital fate, I updated my support ticket one last...

I'm trying to find a good trip planner. RV Parky doesn't seem to be up to date. Most of the newest reviews are two and three years old. Are you using one you like?
I thought we would be leaving closer to winter but it turns out we sold our house quick enough that we will be leaving on the 26th of Sept. I would like to go South to Interstate 10 and would like to know if there is a route to get there without going through the big cities in California. I'll be driving a 28 ft class c.
Two weeks at Sea and Sand RV Park near Depoe Bay with family and friends. Our annual trip. It was hard to leave but we headed for the Washington Cascades making our way home. The weather on the coast was a nice cool 70 degrees as the rest of the PNW suffered through a heat wave. Perfect timing. Look, brother's Newmar and our Tiffin playing nice together in front of the waves! Already booked next year.
Hopefully someone can tell me if this will work. I purchased the standard kit.
I plan on installing it at my home and getting rid of dish.
When we travel in our rv I would remove it and set it up at our boondocking sites.
I will purchase the home service plan so the ability to pause service will not be an issue.
Is this going to work for me?
Thank you for your support.
A snow fed lake with crystal clear water is about 3 hours away, so off we went.
GREAT big spots, water and electricity at a state campground, no sewer, but I took my tug and that was an easy pull from my hitch pulled tug to the dump station to get rid of the gray water.
It was hot, so the cold water felt great.
We took out Vibe kayaks with us, even tho mine at 12 feet is getting a wee bit much for me to load onto my truck rack, but the inner tubes proved a great way to cool off, as seen with...
I have a 2017 Roadtrek Adventurous CS, with Ecotrek. I just installed the Victron Multiplus 2. Does anyone know what values I need to change when I configure it?
My AC unit still cools but stuggles when in the direct sun above 90 degrees. It runs continuously. We had the unit seviced but no change. The tech said we are low on freon and would need to replace the roof unit as you cant add freon to RV AC's. Is there a way to splice the lines and add a valve to add freon.
Okay, so I am running 2 generators. They are the Onan Cummins that allow you to make 50 amps of service. My trailer is now wired for 50 amps…but I can’t find a receptacle that will work with the plug that was provided in order to run the two in parallel. What am I missing?
I am looking for a pet monitor for our RV that uses Wifi instead of cellular. We alread have a TravlFi operating off cellular to provide the WiFi signal and I see no poinjt in a second subscription unless it is absolutely necessary. Also, seems like if you are off grid using a startlink of other sattelite link, that would be a better connection than cellular.
Haven't received the email yet but seeing this on social media. Instead of pausing your subscription you can choose an emergency services mode for $5/month.
Looks like Gen3's are on sale for $175 for anyone looking. Already have one...just a FYI.
Okay folks, as some may recall, a few months ago I had a GMG pellet hopper fire which killed my GMG Daniel Boone by overfilling the hopper which caused the lid to remain up. I decided to go full on Texas and got an Oklahoma Joe longhorn reverse flow smoker. I used it one time, I didn't do well. However, the grill is rusting, mainly the firebox area. I reached out to OJ this morning and they would not assist or even replace the rusted parts. They went on a little bit, I told them it's an...
Curious which plan to go with, personal vs. business. What's your experience? For example, my mini I could go with Local priority over the consumer plan, $15/mo more but better connectivity? For my business, etc. it's worth having, just want opinions before I make any changes. My Gen3 will be my primary, but for now I was just looking at the mini as I'm going to be putting that to use to test it out soon.
Roam vs. Local Priority?
My coach is stored in a garage with 50A power, but not at my home.
I turned off the inverters and left what I believe is the battery charger on, pic attached best I could get without removing the guard that is inplace .
My question is should I leave the charger running 24/7 or if it's going to be stored for a few weeks should I turn it off ?
I hit the battery disconnect switch that is above the entry door, just not sure if that turns off house and chassis batteries or one or the other.
Any...
I'm creating a separate thread I started in another discussion so we can discuss this topic and focus on this specific theory. I'm seeing some believe that 80% SOC is where you should store your "active" LiFePO4 batteries, which is probably coming from the Apple world of iPhone battery management (which are NOT LiFePO4 batteries). This may be true if you physically remove and store your battery in a controlled environment. I'm not sure it's true for a battery that remains connected in a RV...
From the manual. “The Essex includes an integrated touch screen system with multiplex wiring that controls lighting, HVAC, shades, and more.”
Is there a way to access this via software running on my phone or on my iPad so that I can operate all the options that are available on the touchscreens mounted on the walls?
It's been interesting seeing the innovation around the Starlink mini. Now Pepwave is offering an interesting offering.

I saw this on social media, I believe it was a Newmar Canyon Star. Not much left of it, they are okay.
