You're very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Thanks, they are courtesy of our youngest son (ie, an extra pair or two means he shares 🤣) Thanks for watching and talking time to comment!!

Thanks & you've got to be here

Jim, thanks for your comment! You're spot on in your assessment of my suggestion - eliminate the parasitic draw!

🤣 So, I've gotta ask: what's your accuracy?

Appreciate the thoughtfulness. You're quite welcome!

As always, Doris, thank you.

Thanks for the kind words Chris. Hope your search is productive 😊

Gotta love those WAGO blocks!

Yes and they finally posted the event schedule online for Camp Winnebago. Friday this week is the last day for registration.

Thanks for your input! For those unfamiliar with router Cat terminology - the higher the number the "better" the router's performance/speed. A quick internet search will show, to Roger's point, that Cat 4 is disappearing as technology continues to progress.

@@RV2Cycle Thank you for expanding on that as I should have done. I've been seeing CAT 16 and 17 routers lately.

@@roger80465 It's always a challenge determining how much info is too much, so don't feel bad. Thanks for adding the 16/17 info - it helps demonstrate how far behind is a Cat 4!

Thank you Doris.

My pleasure to share! You'll have to show me your dutch oven setup at Camp Winnebago (we're scheduled to be there on July 10). Sounds like a good idea y'all discovered. Safe travels.

Excellent sharing Mark. That's one I knew of but had forgotten to share. Thanks. See you at Camp Winnebago!

Thanks for your insight and thank you for watching.

Sorry for the slow response, it's been a busy day! I used Rockwool brand, R15 insulation value, unfaced 'stone wool batts'. Each batt is roughly 16 inches wide and 48 inches long and 3.5 inches thick. For spaces which required something less than 3.5 inch thickness, I recommend cutting away the excess stone wool material. Stone wool is much different than traditional fiberglass insulation. Stone wool insulation repels water and therefore keeps adjacent materials (like the metal skin of a van) dry. Stone wool is also a rigid material, unlike traditional fiberglass insulation which must be stapled or glued to studs in walls of a house to keep it from drooping and sliding to the wall's bottom. The rigidity of stone wool makes if a perfect medium for van insulation, it's not going to droop or drift to the bottom of a cavity it is supposed to insulate. Hope this helps, if not - feel free to follow up in the comments.

Thanks Doris, I appreciate the encouragement

Thanks for your insights. In my case, the cables connecting the Gateway to the 360+ antenna were too short to install the router ‘away from the light’. The location of the 360+ antenna, on the roof top, away from interference from the RV walls should produce a better signal speed and strength than the same set-up inside the RV. That’s not what our testing revealed. We compared the Gateway to a traditional hotspot (AT&T Unite 797s). Measuring upload & download speeds as well as RSRP, RSRQ of our old, traditional ATT hotspot as well as the Gateway. I didn’t get into that level of detail in the video (sorry) but those results led us to decide to stick to “our original" platform. Again, thanks for your comments and thanks for watching.

Hadn't thought of that but you're right, it is reminiscent of the sounds of Red River, NM.

End to end would be a nice trip. Our journey down the Parkway was a very last minute decision, so we did only what we thought we'd be able to fit into our timeline ('twas just before I retired). Always appreciate your insight.

All about sharing 😊

LOL!!! 🤣 True, they will install, but where is the fun on that?

Yes, I agree Doris. But as often as we stay at CB we see some real "head scratchers".

Sorry about that.

Thanks Doris.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes!

You are SO right and I am SOOOO happy for that!!

Thanks for the comment Gerry. You can find the video you're looking for (Privacy Curtain Install) here: th-cam.com/video/OpwJFpq9ziQ/w-d-xo.html Sailrite no longer has the exact, same curtain track we used but they have alternatives that will work almost as well.

Time of year for a visit is key to enjoying the sightseeing. The disagreements, time of year doesn't matter ☺️!

Thanks Doris, appreciate your support.

Yes! Thanks for mentioning David!! I use plumbers grease. It's available at hardware stores, Amazon (amzn.to/42KbZXx), and other places on-line.

Yeah!! For those who have never been there they will be surprised as its small size (the legend is larger than the Mission building and grounds). Still, it's a destination worthy of a visit!!

Guess it's a good thing they have to abide by health standards 🤣

Thanks for your comment

LOL; live in the parking garage is a great idea!

You all are the best! You might just want to count the number of nights you stay. Thanks for sharing!

@@rv2travel Well said, thanks

My wife said it's good luck. Didn't feel lucky 🤣

Thanks for sharing! We found a single level public lot where we could have parked but once Kelly read the restrictions at the pay station, that was the end. We plan to use the busses next time, to get from campground to KW.

That'll come next time we visit KW. When Kelly got uncomfortable with parking, she wanted to make a direct path back to the RV Resort! I was able to convince her to make the 'loop' around the Key. However, the further we went around the loop, the more anxious she became..So, we missed the KW filming opportunity. Appreciate your encouraging comments.

Appreciate your insight. We've owned several RVs ov the years - haven't found one yet that was flawless :)

Now that's pretty cool. If you do make the decision to visit HM-69, the southern most campground in the Everglades has electric (it was further than we wanted to be relative to our cycling). The original barracks and offies are still there AND still in use!

Awesome job Steve. Keep doing the videos.

@@rv2travel thank you for the encouragement; Kelly and I appreciate your support.

Thanks for your question. The connection for the bike should be to the junction box, just like you're going to charge the the battery. This process is covered in another video if you're interested to see rather than just reading my reply. You can see this either here: th-cam.com/video/i-GSNh2ZBHk/w-d-xo.html OR here: th-cam.com/video/OjDFgjnqszI/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps!

Agree! And with more turnpikes sharing revenue collection Sunpass and others will get you further down the road. Have a happy and safe New Year my friend.

Thanks Doris, we always appreciate the time you take to comment. Wishing you a happy 2024!!

Well, thank you very much! Hope y'all have a safe and happy New Year.

Thank you so much AND wishing you a happy and prosperous 2024 as well.

Actually, I do understand the function and appreciate your explanation. The antenna on the fifth wheel is a higher location and has no encumbrances from the RV walls, as compared to using a hotspot (either my phone as a hotspot or our att or Verizon hotspot) inside the RV. Without yielding a better, consistent, stronger signal than my other options - it's not a justified 500 dollar expense for us. Sincerely appreciate your comment.

Thanks for your question. Tires and inner tubes tend to have a stickiness to them. Think about the last time you changed to flat. Maybe you had trouble getting the tube out of the tire. Powder creates a dry, slickness between the tire and tube. This slickness increases the opportunity for the tube to slide out of the way of the rim of the wheel. Pinch flats are caused by the tube being, literally, pinched by the rim. Hope this helps.

@@RV2Cycle Interesting. Is that like baby powder? And does good rim tape help prevent snake bite punctures? Thank u 4 noticing my comments 🤓

@@wakeywakey8603 yes, baby powder will do the trick. Rim tape helps mostly with cuts and punctures from spokes or the holes drilled for the spokes. So it does serve a valid purpose but it doesn't really do anything for the snake bites

Thanks Mark. There's a link for the loom in the video description of you want to order online. Lowe's also has a similar product, usually in their electrical department. Although Amazon's half off sale of the product ended, they had the lighbar for 30% off yesterday (may still have that option).
