This is also what we do. Many timers only let you program one on and off per day. We got one that can be programmed with multiple sessions each day. I've got it programmed for one or two hours on and off during the day, and off all night long when there is no usage.

We bought the La Crosse Technology C83100-INT WiFi professional weather station about 9 months ago. We had high hopes for it, as it was wifi connected, and we could check the weather at the coach when we were out and about. It would even let us know what the temp and humidity was inside the coach in real time. It worked well for a couple of months, then it just quit working. The wifi connection became increasingly sporadic, and finally wound up udating only once every day or two, instead of continuously. After doing some research, I found that this issue was a known problem with this unit. I went through the reset procedures specified on the manufacturers website many times. It didn't work. They had a contact email (wouldn't take phone calls) to report the problem. They said they would replace your defective unit after you filled out a detailed online form. Filled out the form, and no replacement came. No contact, either. Money down the drain. Don't buy this unit, as it does not work as advertised. It will, however, still work to relay data from the outdoor sensors to the monitor in the coach. As to the mounting of the outdoor sensors, I pound a 4' piece of rebar partially in the ground, and put a 6' length of 1" PVC pipe over it. Mounted on the pipe is the wind sensor and the rain gauge. When moving from site to site, it's quite easy to pull up the rebar, and transport the pipe and mounted sensors in the basement of the coach.

I've got CoachNet premium. It's $169, and that's the same as last year. I think it went up from $159 the previous year. I usually get an email with a discount of about $10 if I renew early. First year membership is more expensive, I believe about $249, but renewals are now $169. These are motorhome rates. Rates for towables are less.

For Coachnet, this is definitely not true. No increase in price this year, and I just checked my renewal rate - again, no increase.

We'll have to check it out, then! Sounds nice.

Isn't that a park for equestrian events?

We have Dura Shield on our coach, and it is horrible. We have mold growing under every surface that is coated with this stuff. On our color scheme, it's not too noticable on the black painted sections, but we have a lot of beige and champagne colors that look really bad with the splotchy dark brown mold. I'm considering removing it and not replacing it with anything.

When mine failed, I replaced it with a brass one from lowes.com. They usually don't have the brass ones in stock at the stores.

I'm on the FMCA plan, and my total monthly payment is $50.07. No surcharges that add big bucks to the bill.

Ours is. It was an aftermarket install, and is on the same circuit as the fridge which is powered by the inverter. But, we always travel with the generator on automatic, so if the current load on the batteries is too much, the generator kicks in.

We've run ours while driving down the road.

We did the same thing. Got rid of the U shaped dinette and replaced it with the credenza and free standing table. We had the credenza installed at Bradd & Hall, and they did a great job. We had some electrical wiring that ran under the dinette, and they made a wood veneer covered raceway between the pedestals of the credenza, and from the credenza to behind the sofa, using the same wood color that the credenza is made of.

I have Dish. Haven't received anything at all from them about this. And being full time travelers, we change locals frequently.

We changed ours out for the Oxygenics model that has 5 different spray patterns. We got it at one of the big box stores, Lowes or Home Depot. It works great for us.

I guess I lucked out when I got the Verizon unlimited pre-paid plan while it was being offered. It's no longer available, but we are grandfathered in as long as I pay the bill every month and don't buy a replacement hotspot from Verizon. We don't run into throttling, and are currently getting about 60 Mbps download speeds. It's too bad that Verizon pulled this plan from the market, as it really is great for full timers who need reliable internet service without running out of data before the month is out.

Sounded good until I saw this: +Mobile hotspot speeds capped at 5 Mbps and limited to one tethered device at a time.

The first year with Coach-Net is $249. However, renewals are much less. The current annual renewal rate for Coach-Net is $169, but I have always received a discount for early renewal payment. In the past, I have paid as low as $139 for renewal.

When I checked my engine on the Cummins website, it had a C2113 recall dated June, 2019. I called Cummins, and they said it was the same as C2112.

Sometime over the past few days, the option to view the post summary in condensed mode has stopped working. It is now only showing in expanded mode, and clicking the option button has no effect. Something has broken and needs to be fixed.

I want to know how the pork shoulder and rump roast turned out!

If you are talking about the 8800L jetpack, it did have some significant problems with dropping signal and rebooting. I've got one, and it got to the point that it was rebooting as often as every 2 to 5 minutes. I was about ready to throw it out. Then, a few weeks ago, Verizon rolled out a software update, and since then it's been smooth sailing. I've been all over the country from FL to CO since then, and haven't had any issues with the 8800L since the software update. In fact, it performs a lot better than my previous jetpack, a 7730L, with faster download speed and less buffering. On my plan, I do have to put up with network management, but it hasn't been much of a problem unless I am in a highly populated area and the tower is swamped with users.

It's like an ATM withdrawal without the fee. But you have to go inside to get your cash. Too bad they don't have little ATM cash dispensers at the pump.

You can get them from https://magneshade.com/ I don't think they have a reseller network. They do sometimes have booths at RV shows, and list their schedule on their website. I've had mine for about 4 years, and have been very pleased with them.

On the CRV, you have to pull one of the fuses when towing, or the battery will discharge within a couple of hours. The manual shows the fuse to disconnect.

I've got the FMCA Verizon plan, and we've been pleased with it. However, Verizon is pretty strict on the slowdown at 25gb. When you hit that, it slows down to almost unusable speed. Even downloading email takes forever. We don't stream anything, and are very judicious with our internet use, so 25gb usually covers our needs. However, even though our PC's are set as metered connections on Windows, the forced update downloads sometimes eat up our bandwidth. Having to do 3 or 4 days on slow speed at the end of our service month is truly a bummer. When our current contract period is up, I'm definitely switching to the new prepaid Verizon plan.
