Anyone use Tracfone? I just need a small amount of data per month and hotspot for my desk top when travelling . I just cancelled my verizon hotspot which was my only internet for home and travel because i got fiber to house. Will be going to a smart phone rather than flip phone.

The Connect was until 2015 i think. I went with the Promaster City for the roof height.

I have a idea of slats or firring strips attached with zipties and or Rivnuts. Then attaching thin TandG with velcro. velcro would be glued and or stapled. East to removed for wiring or to change things.

I am leaning towards 24V.Most portable AC units are 24v and my chest fridge can run 24V. Seems like the technology is going that way recently even for the smaller systems.Will use a converter regulator for the 12V stuff.

I used Will Prowse book for my PMcity 300 watt system.

My very rural relatives lost TV with the change to digital signal and some cell service with the change from 3G to 4G.

I hope they don't stop making it. I only bought it cause the PMC was discontinued. I think Ram, Dodge should have promoted the PMCs usefulness or made lifestyle ads.

I am looking at controller charger inverter units. I will have 400 to 600 watts solar and start with 200 amps battery. Still on the fence about 12v vs 24v. Will have some kind of aircon vented to outside. I spend about half my time Boondocking and half in camp with electric hookup. The bed area...

Well i got a newer van. PM 118 low roof. I will fit in the garage with a maxxfan on top. Will have to pull the antenna down with a string. First thing i found out was not many windows for the 118", but i did find some. The bulkhead was slapped in with the non bulkhead B pillar trim so I have to...

I would like a wired backup camera. The Garmin BC40 has not been reliable connecting. Even after following all instructions to get it working. Once got it working by finding a menu in the garmin i have been unable to find again, Another time got it working merely by plugging the GPS into my...

Is anyone familiar with the T shaped protrusions on the Promaster roof . Are there several manufacturers? Planning on building my own solar rack onto them.

I had the thought of installing a home window air condioner in the cargo bulkhead of my van exhausting warm air into the cab. I would crack the windows as i do now when running the maxxfan. i know there will be moisture coming from the unit but it might be worth a try. Will use 110ac shore power.

Do You have ventilation?I have a Maxxfan and some rain guards on the front windows and crack the windows a bit . Without a cargo barrier like mine You would need screens. You may also be able to remove rear seats and use the basement area. my wife has a Caravan and it is much longer than my van...

I think i will buy a larger one.
