    Cheap wifi

    I am not sure Onstar will shut off the car if the key is in the car. It does give you your car's location, I was traveling overseas and got a notice that my oil life reached 20%. I left my truck in the long term lot so I was not sure what triggered the alert but I did check the location and it...

    Cheap wifi

    Onstar gives unlimited data and you can add and drop the plan as needed. They usually have some incentive to keep the plan longer than I need and I forget to cancel and pay an extra month. It works but we rarely camp with good cell service and the vehicle battery has to be on to use it. If I...

    Cheap wifi

    I have used Onstar when traveling because it offers more data cheaper than my phone plan. I also found that it was not much better than my phone when cell service is weak. Starlink will give you better connectivity in remote areas you have a view of the sky. Onstar uses AT&T so it depends on...

    Land of Enchantment or Bust!

    We have had ours for about 15 years and it used to be we could not stop without having to give a tour and answer questions. I think because teardrops are more common we still get questions but not as near as many as we used to get. It seems there are always other teardrops in camp grounds where...

    A Woman in the Men’s Showers

    Before retirement, I used to fly thru Charles De Gaulle airport regularly. It was pre-covid but the last time I changed planes in Paris and I was in a terminal that was being remodeled. They were in the process of making the restrooms gender neutral with a sign on the wall with both sexes by the...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    We put a trex deck on last year. Advice we got was go with a light color because it will be very hot when in full sun. We got a light grey and it gets very warm but not burning hot and I can walk on it barefoot. If you have 16 inch joists it will be bouncy when you walk on it. We were replacing...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    We tried going from a 2800 sq ft home (outside DC) to 850 sq ft apartment over my in-laws garage (northeast PA) 9 years ago. I do not know how couples can live in a tiny home; it did not work for us. We moved so my father in law could continue to live in his house. We now live in the house with...

    Amco Paper Towel Holder

    I mounted a grill attachment bracket to the table leg and what I found was you could not tighten the clamp too tight or the table leg will not extend. Probably does not have to be tight for paper towels but I did not want a propane grill to be loose so went back to setting it up on a picnic table.

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    I had a delivery yesterday so took the snowplow off my tractor to use the forklift. I put the bucket on when finished so we will probably get a big snowstorm in northeast PA. I can handle the small stuff with the bucker but a when we get over a foot I need the plow. Supposed to be warmer next...

    Favorite Budget Not-from-ci-accessory

    I had a leaking valve stem and I had to borrow an 120 volt inflator to pump our Camp Inn tire on a trip a couple of years ago. I got an Oak and Iron portable compressor and I keep it my truck all the time. It can easily top off 4 tires several times before recharging. Works great and takes up...

    I used to work at the Smithsonian years ago and I was told they released a pair of falcons in DC to get rid of the pigeons. The problem was they were striking the pigeons in the air and they fell out of the sky. The Park Service relocated the the falcons because dead pigeons falling on tourists...

    Air Conditioner Poll: Ac Or No Ac

    We camp in the southeast and if it is in the summer always get sites with power for the A/C. We have a small 400 watt electric heater for winter and get sites with power but the rest of the time we do not care if we have sites with electric. Lowest temperature we have camped was 23 deg f and...

    Vistabule Vs Camp-inn?

    We have had a 560 for 10 years and we are considering something bigger with a bathroom. I never thought I would consider any else because I really like our camp inn, but getting old can be tough and my wife wants to be able to get dressed easier. We have a side tent that helps but now that we...

    We have a 560 and will be driving I 81 north on Aug 9. If you want to meet up along I 81 let me know. We will be on our way home in NEPA so we can stop somewhere along 81. We saw our camp inn the first time in a Lowes parking lot. We are camping in northern VA Aug 8 and it is the our last night...

    Alternative Water Fill

    I use the same method except I usually put the container on the back counter next to the sink. It is much easier than using a funnel.

    Seeking Tips For Refreshing Water On The Road

    We carry a 3 gallon jug that we fill if needed. Also use it to fill the freshwater tank with one of those siphon hoses that you shake up in down. Jug sits on the kitchen counter and we siphon water in to the tank. It is much easier than pouring with a funnel. We almost always dump gray tank at...
