Re: CELL PHONE INTERNET ACCESS
My husband and I became full timers in March of this year. I researched the best ways to access the internet while on the road because I need to use my computer daily. I finally decided to invest in a media center laptop and I got a Sprint PCS Card. The PCS card connects you to the internet instantly and you don't have to worry about the expense of dial up, roaming and overusage costs. You pay a flat $60 per month and no more internet worries AT ALL. The PCS Card is only about $60 or $75. Sprint was much cheaper than Verizon, which charges $80 for the card and $80 per month unless you contract for your cellular service with them also, in which case it was $60. The PCS card is unlimited. If you have an on-line business or order goods and services online or have IM and email contacts all over the world, the Sprint PCS card is the way to go. RVing to me is about simplyfying life, not making it more complicated and I find that accessing the internet with a PCS card, in addition to being far more cost effective than any other method, is also the simplest way to connect with the internet at any place and at any time.428Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?
We purchased our first Class A in January of this year. It's 2004 Hurricane 30Q. We love the RV lifestyle and the freedom to go when we please, we both work so we take several weekenders. We've driven cross country once (in the winter, January) and that's when we noticed that our MH did not handle very well in windy conditions. We understand that no matter what size or type RV you drive, in windy conditions you have to be ultra careful. However, we felt that the 30Q (which is actually 31.5 feet) was very unstable and we had to deal with the rocking and swerving, even at 30 mph. We had to pull over a lot and just wait it out. We were extremely comfortable while doing so, but I noticed other Class A's our size and bigger still moving comfortably down the highway. Upon return from our trip we called the dealer and told him our concerns. Not one time did anyone ever tell us that the size and weight of the chasis had a lot to do with the stability of the MH. Our chasis is only 15,700 lbs. We had test driven used Class A's with heavier chasis when we were looking to purchase, but the deal on the 2004 was incredible so that's what we purchased. I found out that stablizers might help and I will check that out this week. If stablizers solve the problem, I would definitely want to keep the one we have. But if not, what we have is fine for the time being, but we will trade it in before the year is out.534Views0likes0Comments
