We had 2 Midland radios but got rid of them. The weather-alert alarm was so loud and scary sounding, we couldn't take the shock of hearing it go off. It was a high-low-high-low screech that sounded like a nuclear attack was imminent. And, we couldn't adjust the sound down to a lower volume so I just gave up on them. Our other weather radios have a warning 'tone' to alert you. We were able to select a single or few counties nearby to alarm when there was an alert. It reduced the number of...

So...I finished programming the 120EZ. I tuned it to El Paso County, Colorado, where we live. I set it to give warnings for high winds, violent storms, tornadoes, flash floods, fires, and wild fires since we get plenty of those. I turned off the alerts for coastal storms, hurricanes, and coastal tide warnings since I haven't seen many of those in Colorado. I opted for the three minute voice warning, which is preceded by 8 seconds of alert tone. Doug is right, the alert tone is rather loud. I...

I recently got a Midland Weather Alert Radio with Alarm Clock (code on the box lid is WR-120EZ). The idea is to take the guesswork out of inclement weather forecasts when we're out with the TT. So, I'm going to start playing with it tonight to set it up. We want to try it at home for a few weeks before we take it on our next road trip - up to Custer State Park, South Dakota in May. I'll come back later with my thoughts on it. Don

nm1oqrz - Nice! In my opinion you couldn't have picked a better phone (at the moment). It is far-and-away the best phone that I have ever owned. Smooth, fast, responsive, perfect screen size (5.5") with almost no wasted real estate around the screen, fits in a front pants pocket, double-tap with your finger to turn it on & off, ... If you have any questions feel free to ask. My first suggestion - take it slow. Here are some things I do with my phone - Calls, email, text, alarm clock,...

Wife bought this alarm clock for our house. But after I opened the box, I knew it will be going into the Lance 975. It is a nice size with large LED readouts that can be seen without glasses. The display can be 0-100% dimmed. But the big selling point is.....it is powered by a USB port cable. So, we plug it in into the bedroom's 5V USB outlet. The clock is on all the time while traveling or boondocking. Not sure what the current draw is, but I don't think it would be an issue. Another nice...

This TPMS is available through Amazon. It comes with four, 87 psi sensors, supports 2 axles, and spare tire monitoring. It has user settable alarms for pressure and temperature. The receiver/display can be charged via usb or by a built in solar panel. The display cycles through each pressure sensor. I first put all four sensors on my TV which had its own manufacturer's TPMS. All sensor agreed within 1psi, possible as good as 0.7 psi. With the Tymate sensors on my TT (1575), I never incurred...

The receptacles are 20 amp. Page 12 of the manual.(or look at the plug-NEMA 20 amp ) No need for the companion unless you are paralleling 2 generators or like the twistlok 30 amp plug.

Ring products are becoming more prevalent for home protection. While I use them, I am not a Ring spokesperson or rep, in any way. I buy what I use. I've have two security systems for my home, ADT (traditional) and Ring (video). But it is the Ring system that I am adapting to my Lance 1685, as I had some extra Ring products, because of upgrades. Right now, I have just the Ring Video Doorbell (Second Generation), which operates on battery and solar, on my trailer. The pros of such a system is...

The single use one pound cylinders of propane are really convenient to use, but very costly at just under about $5 each at Walmart. Buying propane in bulk to refill my TC tanks is much, much cheaper, and convinced me to invest in the refillable one pound Flame King cylinders. The Big Buddy heater sips propane compared to the RV furnace. In cold weather camping months where the ambient temperatures are constantly below the low 30°s, I usually use a Big Buddy heater to supplement the furnace...

From what I understand, California changed their laws, banning certain chemicals or such. Gary’s CO alarm fell victim to the changes and why he had it shipped to me in Arizona. Happy Camper might have to change their formula to meet the current California standards. It’s easier to just not ship to California. I noticed that the camping stores in Oregon were well stocked with it.

I've been happy with this unit for thousands of miles. I get a false alarm every once in a while but no big deal. If you want to, you can use an old non-sim card phone as a monitor instead of your working phone. All it needs is the app and working Bluetooth. I bought the booster but don't need it. It's mounted in the driver's side battery compartment and I just clipped it to the battery terminals. If I decided I really needed it I'd try to figure out how to connect it's to switched power.

This is a great idea; I forgot I could set alarms and I really really should.

I've been there and done that! When I set up the BMS programmed an alarm to sound at 10% SOC in of the 702 BMS. With my battery bank that would leave me with about half of the energy in my former 2x group 27 FLA bank (37A). Enough power for me to react and fix a problem. It worked when I forgot and left the fridge on auto. It took a minute for us to figure out what the beeping was and find it was coming from the 702 as it was a new sound to both of us. @gerald855s - Thanks for posting this...
