You may have noticed that at the top of the page, there is a blue/grey bar that says Bubba On The Road and has links to our social media pages. Then below that, there is a green bar with a Google AdSense ad in it. Then below that, there is our menu. The menu is supposed to be inside the...
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...
This review has been a long time in the works. Our original plan was to go to Florida last Thanksgiving and add solar panels, a much larger battery setup, an inverter, and the other parts required for running our RV completely off the grid and unplugged. If you've been following along, you'll know we didn't make it to Florida until...
We have a few projects in the pipeline. I've been reaching out to companies about technology we can add to Sleipnir as well as ways we can make our living more frugal and allow us to stop borrowing money from family for support. We have been struggling in recent months trying to get the RV fixed and working properly, so...
I used to be a web developer before I was on disability. Well, years before. My last job was actually as a delivery driver for a pizza place. I haven't professionally worked as a web developer since the early 2000's, though I have done the occasional web site for a friend or family member, as well as updating the sites...
I've gone back and forth several times trying to make something work in our system for a central core unit that operates as a media server, smart home control hub, and file server. It seems like everything I try to do ends up in failure. My point is: Read what I go through and decide what you want to try...
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!
We've hit another roadblock. These past week or so has been difficult, and if not for the support of our parents, I'm not sure where we'd be or how we'd be surviving. We have had a few trials and setbacks, and its led me to reevaluate what is important and what we need to do with Sleipnir. I have so...
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...
