    Cheap wifi

    The biggest issue for starlink is obstructions and or congestion. You need a line of sight so heavily wooded will slow you down and if you're in a heavily congested area ( alot of users) you will see drop offs or slowing down . I could watch YouTube videos no problem. Haven't tried a full on HD...

    Cheap wifi

    Yes. For $300 you get the mini. Stand and both an ac power supply and a 12v cigarette port power. The roam service is $50 a month for 50 gig. Additional data is $1 per gig. . What is like is you can also pause the service. Monthly only but I'll only be using the service for 6 or 7 months a year...

    12 volt ac??

    Well a room ac is usually 5000btu and a 10x12 room is 960 cu' where a ci560 is roughly 160cu' i would imagine 1/5 of 5000 is 1000btu. Now you dont have the wall and ceiling insulation that you do in a home but I would think 1000 to 2000 btu would be more than ample

    12 volt ac??

    Found these. Called a parking ac for truckers who want ac but dont want to run the engine all night. Seems like it could be tweaked to fit the camper. Needs 75 amps to start though so either alot of battery or ac required. Once started you could maybe get 6 to 8 hrs on 200a li battery bank...

    Cheap wifi

    I've bit the bullet and ordered a starlink roam. Not that the onstar wifi didn't work, it works great. My issue is that I cannot figure out an easy way to control it other than having the key on. As you've noticed, when you turn your key off, your radio continues to play for 20 to 30 mins unless...

    12 volt ac??

    Yeah I have 200ah of li now could easily add more. Most of what I see available is 12000 to 15000 btu. Way overkill for the tiny camper. I did see 2000btu on Amazon but leary of the quality. Another option is propane versions but again. Too much. Somebody must make a 2000 to 3000 btu ac. Im...

    12 volt ac??

    after hearing about the original ac not available, was wondering if anyone has purchased or researched 12 acs? seems like a good option especially with li batteries , possibly using only battery power when boondocking

    Beeping co2/ propane sensor

    Found some codes 1 beep a minute indicates low battery , wondering if some chargers on the camper drop enough when cycling on and off to set off? I did get a single beep tone while on shore power , but only once. 2 or 3 indicate faulty sensor, try reset 4 beeps with a pause , critical warning...

    Beeping co2/ propane sensor

    Not sure if bought it last summer. I shut off the power today and restarted but without sitting in it for a few hrs cant tell if it worked. It's too bad nobody has a list of error codes . Mine has done 2 beeps, and 3 beeps, but none at all until I accidentally triggered it by leaving the door...

    Beeping co2/ propane sensor

    Apparently this is an error code, but, they are made by various manufacturers so no luck figuring what it means. Mine is only a year old and was plugged into shore power so the end of life or low battery dont apply. My guess is it's letting you know you had an event ( in my case I started my van...

    Cheap wifi

    I'd say get the free trial, if you dont like it you can always get starlink after. What do you have to lose? I finally solved my battery issue. On my dc to dc charger the instructions called for pos starter battery on 1 lead, pos house battery on another and the middle grounded to the chassis...

    Cheap wifi

    That's my understanding, I told them I just wanted wifi and they offered 3 mos full service trial, said if I wanted to cancel at the end I could, or just continue with wifi only. I went ahead and kept it all.
