Splastop software

My RV is out by my garage and I download videos from Youtube to watch while camping. I found a program called Splashtop that lets me control the PC in the motorhome from any other PC on the network or phone. It's free. Check it out.

    Splashtop is a solid program thats been around for many years by a reputable company.

    That said, you can do the same thing for free with Chrome as it has a free desktop sharing add-on (Google Chrome Remote). Possibly a bit safer might be LogMeIn which is not free but widely used by corporations with tighter security concerns.


    Thanks. Tried Chrome Remote Desktop and I like it better and it's free!

    If you can access your PC from anywhere, someone else can too.....probably fairly easily.

    Unless this product is made by some well known trustworthy company, you need to be a bit careful.


    I used a password and I know that's not "bulletproof" but if someone wants to use all that effort to get into my camper PC, all there going to able to do is steal by excel departure spreadsheet.
