More Preparation (More toys)

As June 3 approaches, we are still looking ahead as to what we may need as full time RVers. Here are a few of the latest items we picked up.

Internet.
Donna has an Iphone 5 and I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. We each have internet access via our smartphones (4 gig/month) and will access wifi at our campgrounds when possible. I picked up a Cradlepoint MBR95 router, a Bullet2 2.4 Ghz 100 mW access point, a Power-Over-Ethernet power supply, and a 15 db Omni directional antenna. I got the router from the 3g Store, and the antenna assembly from Streakwave. Now we can pull in the weakest of wifi signals. Works great!

Now for the times we need connectivity and no WiFi. To feed our Ipad, 2 netbook computers and my laptop, I picked up the Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi 4620LE. We have found only I area that it didn't work. This also works great.

 

With our new (er) 5th wheel, our tires are G rated and needs to be aired up to 110 pounds instead of the 80 that our old Cameo had to have. So I picked up a bigger air compressor from Sears. It was recommended by RV Dreams and Gypsy Journal. Good to 150 PSI.

I picked up these cool valve stem extensions for my truck dually tires so They can be aired up with out standing on your head.

And another must have is an inflatable sport kayak. We picked up the SE-270 from InflatableBoats4Less.com. Recommended by many.



 And finally, a pickup bed cover for the truck. This rolls up when towing, and has Velcro along each side to seal up your load. Looks good and works like a pro. It is a TonnoPro LoRoll Tonneau Cover from RealTruck.com.

Seals up great.

We are moving to another Thousand Trails Preserve located in Leavenworth, WA in a few days. Just kicken back for now.

Later....
