Naturally it just depends on how open the sky is. Author: The Starlink app shows the actual breaks in service. It can also predict down time based on the percent of obstructions. Sometimes the connection will be lost for fractions of a second, other times minutes. You can download the app...

I think Starlink RV is currently the best all around solution, unless some type of live communication is required (it's not good for zoom calls or live gaming...) It's pretty easy to pick site locations that have reasonable view of the sky, there's an app for that. Yes, connection can be lost...

Yes, great idea to retrain every year because of all the new changes in fire behavior. I read on Facebook that the fire triangle has become a pentagon!!!

That's great, hey if you haven't discovered these yet they are a must for easy cleaning of woks, grills, dutch oven... I am dead serious. They themselves are super easy to clean, unlike brushes, and other scrubbers. https://a.co/d/eWynJ5X

Yes, that is a major downside of rtt, they take up extreemy valueable roof rack space. But the off-road trailer/tent combo does address that. Plus it can be left at base camp...

Add rock sliders and scrap the ladder. The RTT design still doesn't work for me but this would be a nice summer toy.

Cool, I've spent a little time in those waves. Now pretty much an old lifer on the OR coast, Florence. We do get a wide variety of camp rigs through here.

MMc, All you had to say is "I'm a surfer" lol. Now that you mention it, I don't know a single surfer that rolls with a RTT.

:o Yep, a 3 week delay is harsh but not surprising, but 2 or 3 months without camping? I couldn't do it.

The high point (literally) of our recent trip was at 7500 Ft. We were more than a mile up a steep narrow spur when we came to snow. I scouted ahead on foot and found two feet of snow with no turnaround in sight. We picked the widest stretch of road and disconnected the trailer… This small...

That's awesome! February is a great time of year for camping, no crowds. We just pulled into Boise, ID after 4 days of backcountry. We hit snow at about 8,000 feet. At one point we decided to un-hitch and ended up doing a three point turn-around when the snow got too deep. We lucked into some...

Great, I feel much safer after watching that video and taking the quiz. I feel double safe knowing that everyone else that plans to camp in CA will be doing the same. But, I'm confused. The video did not cover anything about the propane stove or MRI heater that I like to use. The permit allows...

That's my standard practice. Generally it can be done with one fused hot wire. The switch goes to a short negative cable that connects to the frame (assuming the battery is grounded that way). This saves wire and helps reduce voltage drop.

Thanks for the headz-up. That looks pretty cool for the right situation, but we found our perfect match.

Lol, good one. Except whenever we return home from from a trip home dosent make sense. ;p
