RE: Laptop switching between battery and power supply
I would not do it yourself if you have never soldered before. get a friend to do it. Every laptop is different too.

RE: usb gps receivers (looking for a sensitive one)
The LT 40 uses the TESEO chipset which is supposedly better than the SIRF chipset.
thanks again!

RE: usb gps receivers (looking for a sensitive one)
DeLorme has just come out with a new receiver, the LT-40, specs look great and packaged with the new Street Atlas it's around $60.
Funny I was looking at that unit too. :p

RE: usb gps receivers (looking for a sensitive one)
Nice setup. How much was the TS? what OBDII program are you using?
I didn't like to leave the laptop in the open either and decided to go with a touch screen.

This works nicely in case you don't want to buy a second receiver.
Lot more details when you click the link in my signature.

usb gps receivers (looking for a sensitive one)
Hi guys, I have both a laptop with streets and trips 2008 and a magellan miestro 3250. I like not always having to have the laptop open in the truck. BUT the older usb gps receiver I bought 3 years ago off Ebay kinda stinks. Its no where as sensitive as the Magellan is. I can get reception in our 2 story home on the first floor with the magellan. I get no signal at all wih the oldusb gps receiver.
Does anyone have a recomendation on a usb gps receiver? How is the SIRF III chipset?
PS: you cant beat the detail and ability to zoom in and out with streets of trips and a 15" LCDscreen :p
thanks

RE: condensation on windows
This was our first time camping in our 2000 flagstaff TT. It was pretty nasty outside so I was bored and started cleaning the windows and screens on the inside. The black******and mold that came off was just plain nasty. The gook was not even from us. It was laying at the bottem of the windows. It too me 1/2 a roll of paper towels to get it all off. The window trim is black so its not that visable by eye.
The condensation on the windows is what prompted me to clean the windoes and Im glad I did.
here is a pic

RE: Winterization

RE: Need a voltmeter w/alarm
I do not think a battery voltage alarm would be practical. Battery voltage is like a rubber band which is pulled up with a charge and down with a load. The alarm would be going off all the time. Battery voltage is only indicative of charge level when there is no load and no charge. IMHO
This is true. I guess I will find out when it comes and I try it out. If anyting it stops me from having to bring a my nice multi meter on trips. :W

RE: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.

RE: 3000W Chinese Gensets Info.
FYI: I was at a local homedepot and saw a Champion gen for 199$ It was an introductory price the sign said. I think it was a 3000-4000 watt model just like the 3500 Power pro.
This was last week at the home depot here on Long Island Ny in the riverhead location.

RE: Washing EPDM rubber roof
does anyone elses EPDM roof seem like it was not glued down to the underlayment? I do some roofing at work and have only installed one EPDM roof on a commercial kitchen and we used firestone rubber cement to glue it to the recomended underlayment.
On my TT the roof just seems like its got lots of large uneven bubbles. Like the company just skipped the rubber cement process.
