Because the non-UV rated zip ties deteriorate relatively quickly, whereas the UV rated ones (which come in many colors besides black), last much longer. I used UV rated ties. Picked them up at Consolidated Electric. Is there another reason?293Views0likes0CommentsRe: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos
I just did the "sewer hose" modification. I used a 4.75" ABS fence post cut to the same size as the bumper. I painted it black and attached it to the bottom side of the bumper. I didn't want to drill holes in the bumper to use the plumber strapping so I attached it using 6 heavy duty zip ties. I did drill a number of holes in the bottom side of the fence post. Am headed to AZ from NC a week from today. We'll see how the thing holds up.284Views0likes0CommentsRe: MiFi instead of cable or DSL?

But, I'm constantly amazed at the increasing availability of 4G, particularly in areas I wouldn't expect. Wifi costs $50 for 5G. I've exceeded it on a few occasions, paying $10 extra in those months. Works very well in the east. Check coverage areas where you travel most often. Wilson is soon coming out with their newer version of the Wilson Sleek, a 4G booster for cell and WiFi devices. Should help in the fringe areas. I also have "dumb" phones and have no desire to go to "smart" phones but do want to pick up a WiFi card...my question is will the WiFi card operate the same as a "Smart" phone from the point of view that a "Smart" phone can be used while in motion...can the WiFi card be used in the same fashion so that the laptop can access the internet and do all the stuff it does when standing still in the CG.351Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012

Never used it or tried it myself. Good Luck and let us know if you do it. Pics are always a good thing. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/shurflo174-24-oz-accumulator-tank.aspx?a=422840 Believe it or not the argument continues for the whole world to see... :R Anyway - I added the accumulator - it works great. I especially like being able to flush the toilet if I forgot to turn on the pump. Here's a pic: Is this the Shurflo model from skippyspad?370Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool Mods - Thread restored 10/18/2012
