Re: Good Sam RV GPS
We've been using the Good Sam GPS for over a month now. Haven't used it yet for an RV trip (not before April of this year), but we did take it with us to Atlanta, GA over Christmas. So far, we're very pleased with it. We've been configuring it for the points of interest (gas stations, restaurants, etc.) we want it to display while we're on the road. We've used the wi-fi feature to connect through my cell phone and get real-time weather reports and forecasts, which is nice. We've also used...

TST TPMS New and Improved Wide Screen Color Monitor
I just received my TST Wide Screen color monitor yesterday and got it up and running on the bench. Wow! The display is real nice with larger digits and added color. However, I do have a few issues I'd like to report. The new monitor is now powered by a 5 volt mini plug just like what one uses for their smart phone (Android, not Apple). This presents a challenge as I had the previous 12 volt monochrome monitor's power cord hard wired into the overhead console in my Tundra which was a nice...

Re: Clam Six Pack 1660 Mag Screen Tent (or the Worlds easiest/fastest screen room)
diamonds - It is great to hear that you are as happy with it as we are. We last used ours 2 weeks ago at a non-camping event and used 3 of the panels to block the sun. We'll be using it again in just over a week on a camping trip. By the way, your link just takes me to my empty Gmail inbox (web version, not the Gmail app). Since I don't use my Gmail account for anything other than my phone stuff I only got a parting good wish. Would love to have the newer video link.

Wikicamps app
I downloaded the Wikicamps app the other day for my laptop, Android tablet and phone. I am not one who usually pays for a phone app but this time I did (there is a free version with ads). This is a great app for trip planning. In July we are heading to Glacier and then do a little Gem mining in MT and ID and then from there we are heading to OR for some Ghost Town exploration. This app made it a breeze to plan our route and find campgrounds to stay in. It has links for all the listed...

LPG Tank Check
Camping World Link to LPG Tank Check I got the LPG Tank Check today. It took abou 2 second to install and so far seems to work great. I installed the phone app and mounted the included little display near the door about 15 feet from the tanks. Everything connected right up and seems to be working. Of course, time will tell so I'll post an update after I have more actual experience using them with tanks at different levels and such. Here is a screen shot from my phone of what I called "Left...

Re: Midland Weather Alert Radio
Coincidink!! We just got this one - Sangean-MMR-88-Emergency-Flashlight-Smartphone Charger Weather radio . Just last week ahead of our cross-country trip. And for the same reason as you did. So far, so good - well it seems to work as described. We had an Eton weather radio a few years ago and it was utter junk. We'd be interested in comparing notes.

Re: Trojan 30XHS 12-volt group 30 deep-cycle battery (130 AH)
A good choice! Is the 66-70 lb weight ever an issue being too much for one person to handle alone? The SCS225 battery is more of a marine battery, meaning it is designed to deliver high amps. Do you know how your 30xhs bulk, float, and equalize voltages compare to what your converter/charger puts out, or your solar charger if you have one?

We use the factory solar controller and/or the factory PD-4050 controller for normal charging, and a Vector 1089A digital battery charger for equalization. Peak voltage in that mode is 16.2, temperature compensated.

Re: Trojan 30XHS 12-volt group 30 deep-cycle battery (130 AH)
Brian, when you equalize, do you disconnect the battery and Vector charger from the trailer electrical system to prevent the loads and charge controller from seeing 16.2 volts?
