RE: Best spam blocker app 50!! Holy bat poop batman. I answer all spam calls and screw with them, eventually end up on their do not call list. At 50 I would change my number.	jjrbus	09/09/23 06:17am	Tech Issues

RE: External Fuel Tank for Generator I have an external extended run fuel tank for my Honda 2200. I see no reason you can't do one with an Onan.	jjrbus	09/05/23 07:45pm	Tech Issues
Leveling app display on android radio head. Looking around the net and trying to figure out how or if I can send or view my phone leveling app on my new android head unit. Head is a Atoto 9 inch A6 PF Not sold on leveling app yet but it does seem promising. Any input appreciated. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eland.camperlevelerfreeedition&referrer=utm_source%3Dapps.facebook.com%26utm_campaign%3Dfb4a%26utm_content%3D%257B%2522app%2522%253A0%252C%2522t%2522%253A1692459085%252C%2522source%2522%253Anull%257D&fbclid=IwAR3NIJvQZF5cECE-CZaAJi1Sz3twjOOb2ZAroDTMevTGniyI_DoCxxxOaI4	jjrbus	08/19/23 09:35am	Tech Issues
RE: How to search for tires? I am more concerned about having TPMS, compressor and being anal about pressure than I am about brand. https://www.rvtiresafety.net/	jjrbus	08/16/23 06:20am	General RVing Issues
RE: First Post, Out of Frustration over Dometic AC They have been selling low quality generators and AC to RV'ers for years, it is interesting to see some of the new products coming on the market. I modded a window AC for my Toyota. Noise, first they put a hole in the roof and then install the electric motor, fan and compressor in the hole. Simply ducting the intake and cooled air would reduce noise a lot, very inexpensive to do during construction.	jjrbus	08/07/23 11:38am	Tech Issues

RE: Unsolicited want to buy your RV people I haven't had it happen, but it happened to my parents fairly frequently in the 80's. At the time my dad worked in the service department of an RV dealer. In talking to the salesman where he worked he found out that sales people from certain dealers would drive around asking people if the wanted to sell. Happened to my bud Fred, they did not want to buy it they wanted to steal it. Probably a $10-$12K RV, they offered him $1500	jjrbus	08/04/23 07:41am	General RVing Issues
RE: Unsolicited want to buy your RV people I have a camera door bell, I have a home security system which also includes the RV, I have a home surveillance system. I recently put a sign on my door that says ATTENTION, if you are not a friend, neighbor or making a delivery do NOT ring the bell or knock on door! Still had one banging on the door! When I get the calls, I open the front door and ring the bell, then tell them give me a minute someone is at the door and set the phone down! I do suspect that they buy lists of the elderly and target only us. I’d suspect telling them to F their hat or pretending to speak an Asian language, or my favorite when the kids were little, hand the phone to a toddler and let them talk to “uncle Henry” on the phone (fun game when you’re drinking btw) would get you less call backs than some polite seemingly legitimate excuse. What I wonder is the telemarketers now that even if you answer (in Engrish) don’t ever talk or respond. How you gonna sell or scam someone if you don’t try? Is it some other sort of phishing to verify the number is attached to a person? Poom pood pasa thai die mi ****? My go to when I don't want to talk to someone.	jjrbus	08/03/23 07:43pm	General RVing Issues
RE: Unsolicited want to buy your RV people An FBI report shows crimes against elderly was up 84% in 2022. Got me thinking why am I approached so much. So did some searching and found they are using tax records and marketing data to find elderly victims. https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/nation-world/fbi-report-elderly-scams-florida/67-16658d62-9f94-46b1-8fb5-f2f1db79d66f	jjrbus	08/03/23 06:54am	General RVing Issues

Unsolicited want to buy your RV people OK I am paranoid, I was not born this way it is an acquired trait. I live in a small out of the way neighborhood and the likelihood of someone just driving by and seeing my rv is rather slim. I see people post that someone has stopped by and wanted to buy their RV and they are excited. I think they should be very cautious. I poked around the net and found very little on this so looking for some input. Like I said I live in a small out of the way neighborhood in FL, in winter we get a deluge of door to door sales people from solar setups, roofs, windows. I no longer answer the door, if I am outside when they approach I ask to see their soliciting permit and if they cannot produce one I tell them I am calling the police. This past winter after the hurricane it was about 2 a week! Anyway last month I had 2 different people stop and ask if I wanted to sell my RV, I am quite rude and tell them to get lost. Any input on this. https://www.irv2.com/forums/f59/someone-tried-to-scam-me-329657.html	jjrbus	08/01/23 06:53pm	General RVing Issues
RE: generator damages AC, other electornics Nothing special about the Champions. Every manufacturer has a similar warning and similar risk of damage. How exactly would a generator know it was getting ready to run out of fuel until the instant there was no fuel? And how would the generator do a “smart shutdown”? It’s the equipment that needs to be turned off. The answer is simple: Pay attention to how much fuel you have and shut equipment off to refuel before the tank is empty. I read an article where they tested the various clones against a Honda. Real testers with equipment, not Joe with a Kill a watt meter. You are correct the clones are poor copies. Lost the bookmark to the testing. I try to shut my AC off before shutting down generator but run out of gas on occasion. Much less since I added extended run tank. No damage in over 20 years of Honda use. New AC LG 9500 dual inverter has me a bit concerned.	jjrbus	07/28/23 05:11am	Tech Issues
RE: Wi-Fi, Blue tooth antenna question. Thanks appreciated. The 01 Chevy van has a metal frame around the radio, seems an antenna would not work well in a metal box?	jjrbus	07/17/23 01:13pm	Tech Issues
Wi-Fi, Blue tooth antenna question. Purchased a Atoto A6PF for my 02 Roadtrek and trying to muddle my way through the instructions. One connector has a large yellow plug for rear camera, I got that one. Then there are 3 wires labeled Wi-Fi, Blue tooth and parking brake with little clear plastic pieces on the end. Are the little plastic caps the antenna or do they have to be connected to something?? Cannot get picture to post? https://i.imgur.com/w1ioUocl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/w1ioUocl.jpg	jjrbus	07/17/23 08:42am	Tech Issues
RE: 10 inch radio monitor Thans for the response always appreciated. I spent half the night trying to figure this out. It looks like the cheaper units use RCA and accorded to the internet the RCA should not be used outside. Although shrink wrap should make the connection water tight. The better units use 4 pin aviation connectors and also carry the power for the camera. CAn buy RCA with a power wire also. Then they sell an adapter for 4 pin to RCA. I was happy I figured it out and all ready to order and found there are AHD cameras and analog cameras, the head unit needs to be compatible with the camera. Analog will give the marking lines for parking and the AHD does not. So another evening spent figuring out which is which before ordering.	jjrbus	07/11/23 05:48am	Tech Issues
10 inch radio monitor 2002 Chevy Roadtrek. I bought a 7 inch back up monitor and can find no place I would find acceptable to mount it. The monitor comes with what appears to be a decent camera with a 4 pin connector. The easy way out of this would be a 4 inch monitor but don't think that would be big enough for my aged eyes. I like to keep systems separate but looking at double din 7 inch radios with monitors. Then saw the 10 inch monitors w radio. Doing some searching and it seems that the better cameras come with 4 pin connectors and the others have RCA connectors, or am I misreading something? Do any of the radio/monitors come with 4 pin hookup?? Any input on this would be appreciated.	jjrbus	07/10/23 04:32pm	Tech Issues
RE: Discontinued control board There is not much in RV's that I am fond of, junk, garbage, **** are terms I can relate to. If my fridge went out. Fridge is only 2 years old, so I can count on it for another 2 or 3 years. I would find a 120 volt model install it. With an inverter and add a house battery or 2.	jjrbus	07/09/23 01:54pm	Tech Issues
RE: Beech Lane/Anderson levelers I agree, made for TT. I have used 2X10 for ages, I had holes drilled in mine so I could use them for for support when I needed to break lug nuts free. I have a Roadtrek and it is a PIA to level so time to try something else, worse that happens they end up in a campfire. After I remove the bolts of course.	jjrbus	07/07/23 06:40pm	Do It Yourself Modifications and Upgrades (DIY)
RE: Beech Lane/Anderson levelers From an idea to a prototype. I looked at the levelers and they seem to be designed for travel trailers, I made mine longer, wider and taller, should be able to get a 6 1/2" lift from these. Are they going to work/last, time will tell. https://i.imgur.com/9mJRApxl.jpg]https://i.imgur.com/9mJRApxl.jpg	jjrbus	07/07/23 03:46pm	Do It Yourself Modifications and Upgrades (DIY)
