Re: T mobile
SCVJeff wrote: Problem is that their primary coverage is and always has been focused in major metro areas. Even in LA if you walk into a T-Mobile office their primary concern is where you live and shop. The good news down here is at least now they have additional spectrum to build infrastructure in but it's currently clogged up by existing TV stations and one in proximity of the other ain't good depending on the channel the phone has chosen. I'm in possession of a modified T-Mobile phone built for engineering analysis of this problem and what it might take to get them to live together. Both LA and SFO have these additional channels and I've been able to get them both to work with minor antenna tweaks :) I just wish their coverage map really was a good as they advertise in the burbs. It's definitely gotten better though. My in-laws live in rural Pennsylvania, and two years ago I barely got a 2G signal. Now I get 4G LTE. I can definitely see that they are investing in expanding coverage. They have to start somewhere, and expanding coverage takes capitol. They gained subscribers and are now making investments. I live and work in the DC area, so coverage is fantastic for my daily needs, but traveling on interstates it has gotten better there too. I recently took a 4,100 mile trip using Waze and mostly had good data the entire trip.406Views0likes0CommentsRe: Staying overnight at Pilot Flying J?

You can have AC just fine while boon docking. Just run your generator. It acts as white noise as well. I will agree that Flying Js would be noisy, but there are other options such as Walmart. I find the hassle of checking into a campground late at night to not be worth it personally, and would rather boon dock for just that reason. I only need to stop and sleep for 5 or 6 hours when traveling and don't want to deal with reservations and finding a spot when others are trying to sleep. To each his own though. Flying J would be better than dealing with a campground IMHO.393Views0likes0CommentsRe: Indiana to DC
I (born and raised in Indiana, now live in DC) prefer 68 over 70 any day. As long as your rig can handle some slight grades (I have a 2004 P-32 with Chevy 8.1 and a toad and do just fine) it is a much preferable route. 70 traffic can go from irritating to apocalyptic with just one accident, and the truck traffic on 70 is very thick. 68 has better scenery as well.399Views0likes0CommentsRe: It's always something
JCat wrote: But Robert, If you ever head out to Palm Springs area I will gladly let you do my next repairs, if you are so inclined. I can provide you and your rig a free place to stay at Motor Coach Country Club, what do you think ? What I think is if you're going to own an older coach you should learn to work on it. Otherwise, it's going to be expensive as you've noted in your informative post.178Views0likes0Comments
