RE: Class A in this campground is to big with toad...
"Challenge accepted" is not a phrase I would use. Seems fraught with the idea that "no matter what" you would prove him wrong. You may not have intended it that way but is the way I read it.
Having said that, you did exactly what I would have done. I have walked the route to a site and knew I could maneuver with the toad.
Some CG staff would recommend unhooking to every rig over 32 ft just because there are those, as mentioned earlier, who do not know their rig or limits.
There are some CG that it is better to unhook first, not because you cannot make it but that you will block traffic. It takes us a few minutes to unhook and then back in. I know of 2 CG which we visit that we do that with.

RE: wifi help
First, recognize that a repeater or antenna does not necessarily recieve or send a better signal. If the signal is very weak or you are far from the origin of the signal and your wifi does not reach back to the origin, you will not improve the signal. Most often the lack of signal is because your internal wifi adapter/antenna does not reach the originating antenna.
A repeater or antenna with signal boost, 9-15 db gain, will help. Also of note, is the position of the antenna. If the repeater or antenna has several obstacles, such as RVs, boosting the signal may not work. Blockage is blockage. Getting the antenna up over some obstacles will help.
WiFiRanger is probably one of the best, today, especially for a novice. It's expensive but because of the purposed design, and ability to place on the crank up antenna, it works well.

RE: Rest Areas Safe?
Not but that does not stop us from stopping. We take precautions. Everything is locked. We do not go out without looking first and then only with the dogs. Not alone.

RE: New RV'r - Batts + Chargers + Inverters = clueless
If I were you, I'd list what my batteries are, size of wiring, distance of run and if you are willing to upgrade wiring. Then call Randy at Best Converter. 100 amps may be over kill.
I might disagree with the idea that the generator is a better option than an alternator. This depends on your alternator size and charge line size. It might even be cheaper to run the engine alternator than a generator. Check out the fuel consumption, per hour, on your genny. Genny's are convenient but not always efficient power converters, especially just to plug into the rig for running a converter/charger. You could use a 3 stage battery charger straight from genny to batts.
Now if you are running the genny in the am, while using the micro to cook or the electric coffee maker, than you can charge batts at the same time then combining the two requires the genny. Just charging batts does not.

RE: Electrical
OK. Got it. How many and what type of batteries? What else are you running beside the fridge? Remember that the parasitical draws, CO2, will keep drawing you down. Which inverter did you get? The inverter draws continuous until you turn it off or disconnect from batts.

RE: Electrical
I'm confused. What are you hooking the 30 amp shore line to? 30 amp service? Then why the inverter?

RE: Batteries not charging from power cord.
If you can reach it and it may be worth some contortion, disconnect the 12v from the converter and test it. This will tell you exactly what is being output. No feedback from solar or batts.
p.s. If you have ID the solar pos, now might be a good time to throw in a 12v disconnect, so you can isolate (turn off) in the future.

RE: Cool app to transfer pictures/files from your smartphone....
Neat app but I would find it inconvenient. I tether (USB) and use Windows Explorer to copy to a copy or cut to a specific folder.

RE: VIP211k DVR
You can switch out the drives. Think Dish charges 40 dollar to enable the receiver then you can plug the drive in. It will reformat it when you plug it in.
I can confirm this. $40 and use any drive you want.

RE: Fantasticvent stuck?
Mine sicks occasionally. It is the plastic on the seal. I crank it inside, go up, open with fingers, finish opening completely and spray with silicone spray.

RE: Wireless (outside) Speakers Hook-Up.. How Do I?
I think this will help your question... these work great for me with the transmitter connecting to the "audio in" on my stereo.
If he has aux out, those speakers are what works for me.

If you have an aux out there are a few choices of outdoor wireless with a transmitter.

RE: ELECTRICAL PROBLEM
Is your converter putting out 14 volt and then is it properly connected to the batteries?

In MS Word, right click on the pic and choose "Wrap text". There are several options to wrap text around or even through a pic.

RE: Fried A/C, 2 TV's and micro wave-my fault or electricians.
At no time did the OP say he provided an outlet or receptacle. He showed them a plug.
If you showed the electrician a RV 30-50 amp adapter (dogbone) plug and he put in an RV outlet with 240, he is wrong. Can you take a pic of the outlet he installed? Can you also post a pic of the permit?

RE: Camping would sales not honnering there commitmen....Update
My post was deleted and I am pretty sure that I said nothing inappropriate. But then interpretation by others is some time different than the original intent.
Glad he went to the head person, as I suggested, and got a favorable response.
x2 on all points.
