An RV bumper is not intended to carry any additional weight. We ripped the bumper right off our TT by putting a bicycle carrier on our bumper! We got lucky that it didn't come off on the highway! It actually ripped the aluminum at the welds!348Views0likes0CommentsRe: I need internet and wifi but it's complicated
But if you use an unsecured network, your personal info, including usernames and passwords, are fair game to anyone with a little knowledge. My 3G/4G (Sprint) has been extremely unreliable and unprotected Wi-Fi is a huge problem. Much of my network use will be cell phone to ChromeCast on the same network. Verizon doesn't like me for getting them in trouble with the FTC and the FCC. I need to figure something useable.402Views0likes0CommentsRe: I need internet and wifi but it's complicated
I find this thread informative but a little over my head, which is bad for a former IT person. (years ago) I want to be able to connect to WiFi at campgrounds/rest stops/etc. Since most WiFi I have come across are not protected, I was considering a VPN. What do others use when RVing. I have an old Linksys router on hand. I hard lined it up to my laptop and setup the routers name, password etc. My phone sees the router, I enter the password when prompted and it appears to take the password as there are no error messages. When I select the router again, it gives me the option to connect. No matter how often I try connecting, it never really connects. I assume because I'm not really hooked to the internet?? Any suggestions?402Views0likes0CommentsTravel Assistance
We are taking our first really big trip in August from NJ to Bar Harbor Maine with a stop over in Salisbury, MA. Since we have never taken our TT anymore than an hour away (we only just got the TT this spring) we are unsure of the best routes to take. Does anyone have any advice on the best route to take. We will be leaving at 6 - am on a Thursday if this means anything. Thanks for all your assistance.855Views0likes3Comments
