Best RV Sewer Hose Kit?
Hello everyone. I'm looking for a new RV sewer hose kit and have been comparing a few. What do you guys think of the Rhino? I've been looking at this one http://rvmusthaves.c...sewer-hose-kit/ which seems like a good deal for $28, but some people say it's great and others have stories of cracking within a year. I could afford to replace it each year, so it's not that big of a deal, but I might as well get a good one so I don't have to replace it again too often.8.4KViews0likes23CommentsRe: Best WiFi Extender for RV?

I have it mounted on the riser part of my TV antenna. This raises it up even higher than the coach. Working good for you?764Views0likes0CommentsRe: Best WiFi Extender for RV?

IMHO it's not the strength of the wifi signal, but the total campground bandwidth that seems to be the constant issue. It's fine at 3:00 in the afternoon but at 10:00pm it stinks. Good point, but the amplifiers do help.436Views0likes0CommentsRe: Best WiFi Extender for RV?

Most of the parks we stayed at (over 15) have very bad wifi and there is nothing a WIFI extender can do to help the situation. But what really annoys me is that my Go2 keeps rebooting often when there is a bad connection. I alternate between a Verizon mifi and an ATT Mifi to supplement the campground wifi and the Go2 can be a real pain in the buttocks. At least three times now, it reset itself to default settings after rebooting and the two units weren't communicating with each other. I had to call for technical support the first time, but they don't take live calls. You have to leave a message and they get back to you. Hopefully, you'll be in your RV when they call. I wasn't. After walking through how to reconfigure the thing with tech support, I did the next two times myself. There were times where it would reboot itself (but not reset to factory defaults) at least 5 - 10 times per day. If I knew of a better solution, I'd jump on it immediately. I have used the simple Alpha long range wifi adapter and it worked well for me. But now I'm fulltiming and I've got about 10 devices that need to connect so a router is a better choice for me. Thanks for the info. I'm going to check out the wilson amplifiers recommended in the previous post and do some more research on the first one I posted. It has a lot of good reviews, but more recently the reviews have gone downhill.436Views0likes0CommentsRe: Best WiFi Extender for RV?

We are currently at Eglin AFB Famcamp and if anyone has been here sprint is weak. I would consider looking into one of these. www.wilsonamplifiers.com so far I am very happy and they give a 30 day return no questions asked policy. Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely look into this one!436Views0likes0CommentsRe: Best WiFi Extender for RV?

I don't know if they've improved, or if we just bought their low end product, but it was really bad. Their switches used to literally melt themselves overheating. However, I'll do a quick google search and see what I can find.64Views0likes0Comments
