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: LPG Tank Check
Great stuff! I plan on getting one of these as well but I have heard that the monitor that comes with the unit does not always match what you see on the app. It may turn out that your experience will be different. Just a heads up.

Re: LPG Tank Check
You pair them to a certain sensor so I don't see a lot of them around, being a problem. As an update to my installation, one of LEDs on the monitor already died. I ordered a replacement and that monitor doesn't work at all, both sides just always show a level of 2 LEDs which is completely wrong (even though the levels are completely correct in the phone app). So . . . I'm going on my third monitor . . . sounds like the quality control on the monitor may be suspect. Hopefully, once i get a...

not bad for a buck 99. Missing a few places, but perhaps a private campground may have to pay a fee for inclusion in the database.

Re: LPG Tank Check
just not worth the time I think the LP tank check is garbage I worked with the MFG for while and the guy was nice enough but it was just a waste of time the remote display is junk , I had 3 of them at one time , they could eat a battery in minutes if they worked at all your best bet is to read the tank level then shut it off ASAP or just use the APP I have 3 senders and i just hate having to refill my tanks because I know I will battle sender placement to get any kind of a reliable reading...

I'm going on 2 years and second set of batteries! They do have aluminum stand-offs in place of the Greenies! Below is a screan shot I took from my living room of the house with trailer 60' away. Great setup with the phone app. Happy Campers BobnRobin

Re: Wikicamps app
I downloaded the free version yesterday and after getting it setup, I think it will be a nice addition to the RV Parks and Campgrounds app I currently use.

Just downloaded the full app. Seems to be well designed. Thanks for the tip!

TireMinder Smart TPMS - Smartphone Based Tire Pressure Monitor for RVs
http://www.minderresearch.com/...ure-monitor-for-rvs/ Our last TPMS (by TST) which we used for the past few years completely failed us last month so it's time to give another one a try. Having a single-axle trailer we realize the many benefits in monitoring the pressure & temperature of the TT's 2 tires as well as the main spare tire and a 2nd extreme emergency spare tire that is for trips that are more than a few hours from home (it will stay home for local trips). The main spare tire...

Re: TireMinder Smart TPMS - Smartphone Based Tire Pressure Monitor for RVs
Final pre-trip report. Once the Bluetooth adapter is turned on the app syncs within 30 seconds. I really like that I get tire psi, tire temperature, & tire sensor battery level readings in a single glance before it moves on to the next tire. I prefer/keep my 2 rolling tires at 62 psi and the spare at 65 psi. * This is a semi-local trip so leaving the 2nd spare (50 psi) at home which rides in the truck bed. Since it's staying home I disabled the TV section so that the app doesn't keep...

Quick update - My phone received the Android 9.0 ("Pie") update 2 days ago and the app is running smoothly & properly.
