I received a Winegard Rayzar Automatic RV TV Antenna from Winegard for installation and review in our Smart Home on Wheels. The installation was easy, setting it up to work on our TVs was simple, and so far it is working well. We will post an update in a few months to determine how well it lasts in the Florida...
We have a small Gaintex Portable Washing Machine that we bought almost a year ago. It has served us well and we usually do one load of laundry a day to keep on top of our laundry. Since I am working during the mornings, I usually wash my work clothes when I get home, put them in the spinner to...
Up above our TV, we have the electronics cabinet. It is filled with, obviously, electronics. As we've added new devices, things have just kind of been shoved in there randomly. Wires are all over the place. Raspberry Pis are hanging out haphazardly. It is a mess to say the least. A few weeks ago, I received a Nintendo Wii from...
I received a Winegard ConnecT 2.0 4G2 (WF2-435) 4G LTE and Wi-Fi Extender for RVs for review. This device is simple to install, easy to setup, and works reliably as much as we've used it. For an in depth description of our internet setup, please read Mobile Internet Setup. When I picked up the box for the ConnecT 2.0, I...
I always have projects I'm working on in the RV, and I always come up with new and better ways to get them accomplished. I find a problem, figure out a solution, and before I implement that solution, I re-examine it to see if that is the best, most reliable and most affordable solution to the problem. In this case,...
As new ideas come to me, I have to come up with new solutions. My latest problem to solve is how to know what is in our pantry when I can't easily see what is all the way in the back. We used to have a slide out shelf in the pantry, but it used about half the space, made...
Rvs are not generally wired for ethernet. In fact, I've never heard of one that had ethernet run through the coach. Its also not like a house where there are voids in the walls and other cables that can be followed and used to pull cables through. With the availability of wifi, you may wonder why one would even use...
Its inevitable, bugs get inside RVs. It can't really be avoided, whether ants, flying bugs, or disgusting crawling things like roaches. This is about the flying ones though. This is about something simple and cheap: a bug zapper. We bought this little bug zapper from Amazon. I wasn't sure it would work, we never used them at home as a...
This is mainly focused on the full time RVers reading this, but there are still ideas to be mined for others. This is the layout for how our network is getting built and what each Raspberry Pi will do in that network. I've had some new ideas recently, so while I've discussed building a Raspberry Pi network before, this is...
I'm going through what I want to have in the RV, what we already have, and what we can adapt to make work for our situation. As we are professional bloggers, it is important that we be able to connect to our followers, update the website, and be able to function with the hardware we can afford. There are many...
