Re: Winegard Cell Internet "stuttering" during streaming
Winegard cell based router. I have plenty of DL speed, lowest is 30M, and I'm only 0.7mi from the cell tower. Doesn't matter what time of day or night, It will start stuttering while streaming. Rebooting the router will 99% of the time cure it on first reboot, sometimes takes a 2nd reboot. I have zero issues with using either phone as hotspot. I wasn't paying enough attention, but it seemed to start after the last firmware update, well over a year ago. According to WG, nobody else has an issue (yeah, right), and there's no way to roll back to a prior level.108Views0likes1CommentWinegard Cell Internet "stuttering" during streaming
I've been struggling for several months with this. Winegard has been ZERO help. I'm suspecting it was an update they screwed up. I have plenty of speed to stream. I literally have to reboot at least once a day, sometimes more frequently. Once it's rebooted, I can push the system to my speed limits with no issue. But over time, it gets worse and worse until I reboot the system again. It's like a buffer full issue. Has anybody else seen this and found a solution?176Views0likes3CommentsRe: B&W fail or Operator Error?

Is it soooo hard to do a pull test? I went to do a pull test with landing gear barely off the ground. And "experienced" 5th wheel RVer, was freaking out, stating I was going to damage my landing gear dragging it like that. I should have asked for more advice from him... to not follow!996Views0likes0CommentsRe: Looking for Route MI --> Pheonix

One was to travel the Mother Road Rt-66 and the other was to be in Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta. We managed both and had a great time. You will want to pick it up the other side of Chicago, and that is a great place to start. While Rt-66 technically no longer exists, the route is marked and most of it has been supplanted by more modern roads. This was a great and comfortable route and if you care, I can tell you a lot more. Our mailing address is Belleville, but we actually are in New Boston (Huron Twp). Matt Sorry for the late response, but the recovery is not going as planned :( I do need to update my home town, and we sold our belleville house and live south of battle creek in a park model trailer. That is our base, and the 5th wheel is our travel home. I hadn't considered rt 66, that's an interesting suggestion! If it doesn't technically exist anymore, then how do I find it? I have a training class scheduled for 10/23 about an hour north of phoenix, we're holding that date for right now.656Views0likes0CommentsLooking for Route MI --> Pheonix
We;;. our well laid out detail retirement travel route plans have gotten derailed due to medical issue. It's actually delaying my retirement now. Looking at the time we "should" be able to start the journey, it's now going to be about the destination, and not the Journey. Trip will be starting probably second week in October.2.2KViews0likes7CommentsMI to AZ/UT
Spent several weeks setting up a post retirement route, basically going across the top of the country to WY, then down to AZ... Best laid plans :( I now have a medical procedure schedule planned which is disrupting our travel plans. Basically losing all my top of the country plans. If we are to go straight from MI to AZ in early October, what might the route look like? In this case in will no longer be about the journey, but getting to the destination. Not exactly sure where we are going to pick up our original travel plans, that will partially depend on followup MD appts.2KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Super Duty Backup Assist - Fifth Wheel
Ford employee here... I trialed this system on a trailer before it was ever offered to customers. I struggled to make it work, and they asked I back up through a slalom course without it and I nailed it. Fast forward, I ordered it on my F350, and still can't make it work :) I also struggled a bit moving from TT to 5th wheel, but pretty much have it down after a few times backing up. I'm going to let my wife try it without my commentary, to see if it helps her. I'm sure it works great, but with my experience, don't really need it.838Views0likes0Comments
