Re: Blackstone 17" review and question
I have the 22 inch Blackstone with the hard lid on a Blackstone stand. Haven't experienced any problem with keeping it lit but it did take a few turns starting it. I found a storage bag on Amazon that it fits perfectly inside and zips up nice and snug. I store mine in the bed of the TV. At home I purchased a storage box that holds all our extra items, grill, stand, genny, genny box to open the TV bed up for daily use. Easy enough to toss it back in before a trip. The grill storage bag was by...

Re: 2013 Lance 2385
Our 1885 is listed as a 2014, but was built in 2013. Our slide very likely is the same as your 2385. What are you needing to know? We did have to have the slide bolted into the wall as it had an issue with the frame pulling away from the outer wall. We did lighten the load in the drawers to less than 50 lbs each, which is what Lance recommends, this includes the outer storage area. Otherwise, we haven't had problems with it. Attached is Lance's 2013 brochure that may give you some info.

Re: Is OnStar worth the money
There are APPs that can provide the same functionality to any cellphone in terms of crash detection/EMS response; one example is Life 360 ($15 a month). The advantage is that it is on your phone - not limited to one vehicle. Your family members are able to see each other's location on a map in real time. If you are waiting for a family member, you know where they are - on the road headed to you, in the camp ground or where inside the Home Depot. Like OnStar, it requires cell service to work.

Re: MicroAir EasyTouch 352 RV Thermostat
My T-Mobile 5G hot spot isn’t one of the “home” ones, so no GPS and geofencing - I got it when they first came out, I think just before they introduced the T-Mobile Home internet. Since I have the “free” cable internet at my park, I only use it on the road. Now that I have Starlink, I basically only use it when I’m overnighting somewhere and don’t want to spend the extra time to put up and take down the Starlink antenna. It’s still useful for me, and I’m on a relatively inexpensive plan, but...

Re: MicroAir EasyTouch 352 RV Thermostat
Phone connects through the internet. For my test I had WiFi turned off on the phone, so it was accessing the thermostat on the internet, using cell minutes. In your case, you could leave the AC off then when you were getting close to going back, you could turn it back on. That would work with Starlink running all the time for internet purposes for the thermostat and your cell phone having cell service. I have a fairly big battery bank and solar set-up, so I could potentially leave the...

Re: MicroAir EasyTouch 352 RV Thermostat
Couple questions. When you say wifi, is that connection to your router and internet (starlink) and your phone? Or is it phone's WiFi (hotspot)? I tried to get cameras, for camper and even though, they ran on WiFi, I needed internet connection, to connect remotely. It would be handy, to adjust temperature, before I got back from fishing or running around, instead of just leaving it run.

Re: MicroAir EasyTouch 352 RV Thermostat
Thanks that makes sense, to me. Being able to access it, via hotspot, could be useful. When I had T mobile hotspot, it was for "home" use and "booster" had gps. Do you use yours, on the road, or just at park?

Re: MicroAir EasyTouch 352 RV Thermostat
To clarify about the WiFi capabilities: The thermostat has to talk to a WiFi router to be able to use remotely, a source that has to stay in the trailer. To talk to it you can use a device connected to the internet - it doesn’t have to be the same network. So I can have the thermostat connected to my Starlink router and my phone could access it with cellular data through the app. Or if you were at the library using their wifi and your thermostat was connected to Starlink, then you could...

Re: MicroAir EasyTouch 352 RV Thermostat
That's more understandable, than way I put it. I've only had one host and couple campers, complain about my leaving AC running, while gone for day. Breaker was off once, when I returned, I wasn't impressed. I also had someone unplug boat charger. Of course nobody knew anything about either.

Re: MicroAir EasyTouch 352 RV Thermostat
Interesting question, Robert. My take is.... Bluetooth has a 30 foot range. A WIFI router has a 100-300 foot range. Thus, the thermostat would have a 30 or 100-300 foot range depending on the choice of mode, BT or WIFI. When Harriet walked through her park, her phone was too far from the thermostat to utilize the 30 foot range of the Bluetooth. So, it had to rely on WIFI. It seems to have either picked up the park's WIFI signal or went to a cellphone tower for her request. Either the...
