Screwing into shower wall?
We have a dispenser that holds shampoo, body wash and conditioner. I attached it to the shower wall using heavy duty Velcro which I have used many places in the rv with success but it’s not working for this application. I’m not sure if it’s the surface or the weight but it continues to pull away from the wall. Any thoughts on using screws and anchors? The Velcro was easily removed but holes from screws are a bit more permanent.4.2KViews0likes13CommentsRe: LED light strips under awning?

I was thinking I would put them in a rail with a cover. Did you use clear or opaque cover?695Views0likes0CommentsLED light strips under awning?
I have a pretty good idea of what I’m going to use and how I’m going to do this but I have one thing I’m trying to decide. I’m going to use led tape/strip and trying to decide the angle I want to install. I’m going to install on the trailer just below the awning. Should I install so they are pointed straight out from the trailer, towards the ground, or at a 45 degree angle?2.7KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Anyone Else Using A Router?

It is, however, quite picky about which routers it works with via USB. If you have a router that supports WiFi as WAN, that will work though expect some signal loss as you always get with that type of configuration. Hmmmmm. So what would be the advantage to doing it that way? A good router will allow many more simultaneous connections. Plus, a good router will rebroadcast the WiFi signal much further than the Mobley can. Got that but what advantage in a direct connection from mobley to router? They do sit right next to each other and I get a strong signal.571Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone Else Using A Router?

Understood that the mobly, mini, etc also have the same capabilities as a router. My thought process in using a separate router is that the roku tvs and other devices can be connected to the standalone router once and the only thing that needs to change when a different wifi connection is used is the travel router. Makes it easier for kids and gf.571Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone Else Using A Router?

In a manner of speaking I do as well The Wi-Fi Ranger (Full system) Consists of two modules and some cat-5 cable Outdoor module (I use a Umbiquitti Nano Station Loco M-2, which as I understand is identical to at least one of the Wi-Fi Ranger outdoor modules) is what I call a Wi-Fi "Modem" it connects to the park router and outputs via Cat-5 Just like a cable modem. The indoor module is a router.. slightly modified to power the outdoor module via the Cat-5 cable.. In my case I use a standard house router and a "power inserter" module that came with the NanoStation. The Router thinks the Nano-Station is a modem as well. Before that I used a Linksys WGA as the "Modem" IT worked well. the nano better. Finally 2 Rouku's plus other stuff.. You are going to overload the poor park's router.. You are what's wrong with Park Wi-Fi. Never been to an RV park. Never will. Our RV is a horse trailer. We are using a mobly or another hot spot so no worries. Won't be in any rv park.568Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone Else Using A Router?

I did a lot of research and it doesn't seem that common. Many of us here on the forum use routers in the RV. Do you have specific questions? Not really. Was just curious. I'm using a hootoo travel router as the app makes it very simple to change wifi. Are most using a travel router or just a standard router?156Views0likes0CommentsAnyone Else Using A Router?
