I received a Pepwave Surf SOHO Mk3 wifi access point and router from Peplink for installation in the Smart Home on Wheels project and finally got it a few days ago. It was shipped quickly, but arrived at our home base in Florida and we weren't able to get it from there until this week. I set it up, got...
We don't have a tow vehicle, just our RV. And since we don't like to drive the RV into town if we don't have to, we usually ask for a ride from someone else in the campground or we order stuff online to be delivered to our site. We ordered some food last week from walmart.com and have had nothing...
There are a few gadgets we find absolutely necessary for living in an RV. Some are cheap, some are a bit more expensive, but all have their uses and fill a need that we sometimes didn't even know we needed to fill. Here's the list of the top items we purchased for our RV and Amazon links so you can...
By Tiffany Baierl, with editors Odin, Rain and Zoe So, as you probably have figured out, we have cats and when we started thinking about our RV adventure, their quality of life was definitely a huge factor in our decision to become full time RV-ers. Fortunately, we have always had multiple cats and pretty much knew how to make them...
I received a SeaFlo Macerator Pump from the manufacturer and installed it to unclog the black tank. It worked pretty well, but our clog appears to be more difficult than thought. Hopefully driving around will knock the rest loose, but we got at least half of the solids out of the tank. Video Link on YouTube! Purchase at Amazon!
Occasionally, we get asked what is necessary to have on the road and we have learned lately that it is unbreakable and leakproof items such as mugs and tumblers. We've learned that being on the move, means things tend to fall over and a cup full of liquid all over your RV carpet isn't fun, so being able to prevent...
I received a satellite dish for DirecTV from Winegard, specifically the Trav'ler. Its an HD dish that mounts to the roof of your RV and automatically finds the right satellite so all you have to do is turn it on and it searches. There are two cables that attach to it, several screws to mount it down, and attaching the...
I received a rear view camera from Tadi Brothers to install myself and review. It was not difficult, seems to work fine, and has a clean, clear image that is easily wide enough for our needs. I don't back up the RV often, but when I do, its nice to have a picture of what is going on behind the...
Updated 3/27/2018: Updated with real world numbers at the bottom. Being connected on the road is one of the most important things many full time RVers and travelers require. It is especially important for those of us who work from remote locations, but even those who don't work still like to stream video and music. Cell signals can vary greatly...
UPDATED: SEE THE END OF THE POST! I bought a GL.iNet mini travel router, model GL-MT300N from Amazon for $19.99 and received it today. The box that it came in is small, about 4 inches square, and I was expecting most the box to be filled with the router. I was wrong. The device itself is less than two inches...
