Re: Portable ice maker for RV.
Best camping device ever. We set up ours first thing after the trailer. The water it holds is enough tomake ice all weekend. To avoid the "soft" ice thing we take it out of the maker and put it into the freezer which seems to make it last longer. we bouhghtours at walmart for like 80 dollars.772Views0likes0CommentsRe: Painfully slow internet

What are you using the wifi for? if it is for streaming tv or such there are other ways to do this that eliminate the wifi altogether. I use a cell phone with a subscription to HULU on my phone. I can screen cast this to my tv via a poku stick. 1. on the tv with the roku set it up so it accepts all devices wanting to "cast" 2. find the way to turn on screen casting/mirroring or whatever you phone calls it. 3. When the casting window comes up select your roku device on you smart phone. 4. ON the tv the roku will try to create a network and a popup will come up asking to setup a network or continue. Select continue. Now you can watch hulu or whatever is on your phone on the TV.603Views0likes0CommentsRe: Reserveamerica

I do as much online as possible because of the lack of customer service for many types of businesses. So true! Because so many are working from home, you can't get any customer service or tech support to call you. They are using their personal cellphones or personal landlines and they don't want to have their personal phone numbers. I've been dealing with Whynter Appliances since May 4, on a non-functional wine fridge. Tech support will only deal with me on an email basis. I have tried calling but after 2 hours on hold, they disconnect me. One email told me to remove the control board but no instructions on how to do that. I emailed back saying it would have been nice if they had told me how to do that. 4 days later, I finally get the instructions. It takes 3-4 days for tech support to reply to my emails. Now this week, after supplying them with pics of the board, I haven't received any communication nor are they answering the phone. This is the kinda of thing that's going on now. So ReserveAmerica isn't so bad. There is zero reason these days for a remote worker to have to call from their own cell number. Even before all the coronavirus stuff, I worked from home 1-2 days a week. I have an app on my cell phone that links it to my office phone. When I want to call someone, I do it through the app and it appears on the other end as coming from my office number. These days, if a company can't figure out how to make working remotely seamless and no different than working in an office, well, that's a management problem. My desk phone at work is tied to my laptop. I can answer my desk phone via my laptop with video if needed from anywhere I can get internet access so no need for remote workers to use their own phones.470Views0likes0CommentsRe: PROPANE on the cheap
propane from my local conserv who supplied my house was $1.59 I only know that because I made the buyer of my house pay for the propane that was in the tank. A 500 gallon tank at 70% full was worth pretty close to $600 for me. I could fill up my trailer tanks at their facility for the same price.379Views0likes0CommentsRe: No 12V power to prewired back up camera

I checked every where and couldn't get power. I didn't check the fuse's I will tomorrow. Is there a switch or or could it be something else. I think it should be hot as soon as the battery is turned on. The camera runs off the marker lights. In many newer vehicles with automatic lights you will have to manually turn on the running lights which will power the camera.1KViews0likes0Comments
