RE: Wallet finder
There is a "Tag" that couples with many cell phones.. of course if you lose your phone..... The devices are generically called RFID and they work like the anti-shoplifting tags on goods in stores Only without the burn out feature.
Now to find your phone... Many phones. Including all Android. and Samsung and others have "Find my phone" features (Google for yours) ANd somen Phone Security programs like LOOKOUT have a "Find my device" feature. Works well. MOST of the time.
I think you are referring to a tile. That said, tiles have to be in decent proximity of your phone - like 50-100 ft. So, it will find it in your house but not if you lost it at a store miles away. For that you would need a device that actually broadcasted it's own wifi.
I believe you will find that the "tile" device works via wifi, too. Not only will it locate your wallet/bike/computer/phone, etc. IN you house, it will notify you of its location if it is near an open wifi hotspot, AND you can set an alert if it is stolen that will yell at any other tile user that there is a stolen/lost/missing thing here, go grab it!

RE: Photoshop alternatives
Do note that there are not 27 alternatives to Photoshop, but 27 alternatives to various parts of the entire Adobe CC universe. Only three or four PS alternatives are listed.

RE: ? Cooking While Traveling?
You have cold beer in the refrigerator. Why not a hot meal in the crock pot :@
Goodness, some wag might point out that if you have cold beer, what else could you possibly want?

It's nice when "the fix" is simple and cheap as replacing a fuse. Don't do that again, eh?

RE: propane quick connect
(1) you need to know that there are at least 2 incompatible propane quick-connect systems that have been used on RVs. They LOOK identical, but are just enough different (no doubt by thousandths of an inch) that they will not work, one with another.
(2) I don't buy the "wrong regulator" business. It's nonsense as far as I can tell.
(3) I use the propane quick connect on my TT with my portable grill. I had to buy both of the two disconnect plugs to find the right one and return the one that didn't work to get it right, but my grill works perfectly. It IS true that there are single stage as well as two-stage regulators, but as far as those being incompatible, nope. they all seem to regulate the pressure to the same level, it's just in how it is done.

RE: One mechanics opinion about oil
Fancy expensive oil (aka full synthetic diesel rated) is specified for both our turbo-diesel vehicles. I’ll go with the makers engineers over any auto mechanic, thank you very much.

RE: DEF for my Dodge?
Get DEF wherever it is cheapest or most convenient. The composition is spelled out in Federal regs. There is NO allowance for “secret sauce” or any amount of deviation. It’s made of two of the cheapest compounds known to mankind, so incentive to make it cheaper is lacking, as well as outright illegal.

RE: What apps do you use that you find really helpful?
Allstays, RVParky, for finding campgrounds and other attractions. Scan & Go for shopping at Sam’s Club. OpenVPN and a VPN subscription for doing banking online at hotspots. ProHDR X for taking photos especially in challenging lighting. GasBuddy for finding fuel at good prices. Pages, Numbers for “office work.” Calculatrice for an RPN calculator. And of course my bank’s app to simplify banking even when there is no nearby branch, and especially to deposit checks from afar.

RE: shattered window
Would this be a dual pane window? Is it tempered glass? I blew out a dual pane window a couple years ago, and got a large glass & plastics shop to order a custom dual pane panel to install in its place. Call some of the glass shops in your area. Surely there is one that can handle the job.

RE: Urban Meyer 7 - Michigan 0
Computers can predict the winners with a fair degree of certainty. So can pundits and just plain rabid sports fans. But there are two compelling reasons we actually go ahead and play the games anyway: (1) to give the favored team the opportunity to prove they are really as good as everybody seems to think they are; and (2) to give the underdogs the chance to outdo themselves and all those naysayers and actually beat the favored team. Those two reasons are worth all the rest.

RE: How safe is your safe deposit box ?
Got a notice several years ago that my wife's bank was getting out of the safe deposit box business, so not accepting new depositors, but those of with current accounts were welcome to leave our stuff there, and they were quitting billing for them into the bargain.
Fast forward to now, got a notice they were closing that branch next month, and existing safe deposit boxes would be transferred to another branch. We were invited to get our stuff, or we could sit back and allow the transfer. After thinking about it, we're going to get our stuff and put it elsewhere, but not in a bank SDB.

RE: Roof vent repair
Yeah, I agree with @donn0128 about gluing the broken cover back together. I had to replace mine in October, and I think it cost about $5. Camping World sells them, but you'll have to ask at the parts desk. Not sure they are shown on the web sight.
As for the roof, I, have no insight, but I stay off mine (I weigh almost as much as you).

RE: More Solar!
You guys are scaring me.
I just bought two 100 watt panels and a 40 amp MPPT controller (looking to the future). The panels hinged together to be a portable briefcase thing rather than mounted. Fortunately there’s not enough room on my 21 foot TT for as many panels as you guys have.

RE: Urban Meyer 7 - Michigan 0
Watched the Rose Bowl, and it was clear that the OSU offense went home after their 4th TD midway through the 3rd quarter. I guess after you've piled up enough points to win, showing you were unstoppable in the process, there was nothing more to prove. Oh, yeah, that leaky defense that was so troublesome all year . . . well, I guess a 25 point lead is hard to overcome.
Definitely was not the same team that obliterated Michigan, was it?
