Re: Make line on driveway for camper loading?
Thanks for the ideas. My biggest problem is being parallel with the camper. So I think some sort of line along the driver side tires would work best for me. It would give me both parallel and left-right guidance. However, any other ideas are welcome. Will let you know what I come up.1.4KViews0likes0CommentsMake line on driveway for camper loading?
Although I've done it for years, I'm trying to simplify loading my camper by myself in my old age. Recently I laid a string along the tires before offloading and that definitely helped when loading again. However, the string didn't last in wet weather. So, I'm thinking about a long "thingee" (plastic/wood/tape??) I could attach to the asphalt with glue or screws. Distance between tires is about 14 ft. BTW, don't want to paint the line or install a laser system. Thanks for any ideas.4.6KViews0likes20CommentsRe: Mopkka tank Sensors
Just bought one of these and installed it on my horizontal 20 lb tank in my TC. Had just filled the tank and the phone app reports 80%, so that's a good start. Should be an improvement on the "days used" meter I've been using :) Changed the reporting time to 10 seconds in hopes of improving battery life.1.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Hotspot (usb tethering) with Visible: Help needed

I have/had the same problem with my phone and iTunes. If I uninstalled iTunes from my computer I was able to connect to my iPhone7 with USB. Since I wanted to keep iTunes on my PC, I just used WiFi to connect PC to iPhone. Now have iPhone SE but haven't tried USB. Sorry, but didn't remember I had the problem when you first posted. :) Glad you figured it out.1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Visible wants me to upgrade to new plan
I'm reluctant because of all the "horror stories" I've seen on other forums about changing Visible plans. I'm a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" type of person. Since things are working fine, I think I'll chew on the decision for a while. :)228Views0likes0CommentsVisible wants me to upgrade to new plan
Yesterday I got an email from Visible that said this: We’re moving our valued members (that’s you!) onto our upgraded network. It’s faster and more reliable. So you’ll have all the unlimited data you have now, but with improved performance. Still $25/mo, taxes & fees included. I've been on the old plan for about a year for $25. I think I might wait and see if they force me to change. Anybody else get an email like this?6.8KViews0likes22CommentsRe: 1" to 3/8" thread adapter?
Got the custom adapter from the machine shop to go from 1" to 3/8". Photo below is the full setup before it's mounted on the ladder rail. With my shaky hands I need another person to help. The lever arm is horizontal to lock the antenna rotation and vertical to allow antenna to be raised or lowered. Just hope I remember to lower it when investigating boondocking spots in trees. :) BTW, I used the term "pipe cap" previously not knowing a real one uses a tapered thread. The threads in both cases here are "standard".981Views0likes0Comments
