Yawn. June Glooms here in the San Diego area. We're all anxiously awaiting the early arrival of flocks of full breasted Zonies. Every July they migrate to our beaches and remain for the summer. A truly beautiful sight. Today Low clouds and fog and drizzle in the morning then partly...

LOL! It appears that we have similar goals while RV'ing, Mike. Mary sold her business in 1990 and we full timed for a year in an Alpenlite 29, taking a long break. Actual length of the rig - 31 ft. We downsized over the years, down to a 21 footer then back up to a 26 foot 5'er (our personal...

Well, like Jim, I started out 5th wheeling in 1975 and sold my last one around 2004 and went to a Class C. With that truck you have almost unlimited choices and that's based on what you plan as an RV lifestyle. First decide if you will be living *in* or *out of* your rig. All of them can and...

It connects to a cell phone via bluetooth and the user dials out from the Dect 6.0 handset instead of the cell phone. Very similar to high end in-car built in blue tooth devices, there is no need to touch the blackberry. In turn, ALL handsets act just like they would if the system was connected...

Off the landline grid? Check out the "AT&T TL92278 DECT 6.0 Bluetooth Digital Expandable Dual-Handset Cordless Phone with Caller ID and Answering System." It’s a viable option for people who are off the landline systems and using cell exclusively. Not a bad option for folks who have both...

Plagiery from THT follows: Here is a quote from the Michelin web site -- " If two radial and two non-radial tires are installed on a vehicle, the two radials MUST be installed on the rear axle and the two non-radials on the front axle." and the RMA web site --- "When two radial tires are used...

His surge brake reverse solenoid will burn up. :mrgreen: Don

Thanks, Pete. Also found a great review at this site. Don

I thought he wrote that the Wilson techs said the Sleek would have no separation problems at all but the higher powered unit like yours needed the 12-15 ft. separation. Hey Pete, that Adapter # 97119. I couldn't find it anywhere on the Wilson site. Do you have a URL where I can get it or are...

A "Cantenna" might, though the ability to keep it focused on a cell tower while mounted in a C-Dory increases the complexity. Google Cantenna. I've played with Pringle can versions for WiFi and they do work well but IMHO they're a kludge and aren't really suitable for anything permanent...

Indeed it should work, Pete. LOL. Doesn't have to be large, just grounded (maybe). Doc, gotta remind you, a vertically polarized antenna doesn't receive or transmit for s*** off the ends. Especially in the gigahertz range where power losses are measured in inches of separation (well...

Well, if I were the experimenting type, I'd get the Sleek, mount the antenna somewhere directly over where the holster is mounted, and cross my fingers. The Wilson antenna with radials creates somewhat of an electronic shadow directly below it. Then power it up. Green light yer in. Red light...

No. As sold, the Sleek looks like nothing more than a nice looking (albeit a little thick) phone holster. Very cool looking. It has a couple of extra "arms" for fat phones or odd size phones and a dash mount "kit" included along with a USB to mini-USB patch cord for a power connection. It also...

Wilson Sleek user report: I was not aware of the Sleek until I saw this thread. I had been looking for a modest retransmitter that could be used both in my RV and on a boat. My first test was in/on our Lazy Daze, an aluminum skinned RV using the existing rooftop cell antenna. Works great...

Big boats yes, Mike, but not C-Dorys, even here in San Diego and despite the factory fiascos of the last three years. The C-Dory has a cult following just like the Bertram 25/26 do. You'll drop over $20k or way more for a 1966 through 1980 Bertram under 26 ft. IF you can find one, while NADA...

Don't come cryin to me, Pat. I can't get there right now. Mom is in Palliative Care and it's a zoo around here. But I do remember there are only a few "commonly used" bearings and they go by diameter. West Marine is actually a good spot to check in an emergency. It'll cost you more but...

Actually, the sleek can be found on Amazon for under $100. Good value. Don

Yah, in a couple of years you can change it to C-Nile, Charlie. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Don

Jeff, the 22 came stock with a door and shelves where the reefer is located. Your toughest job is finding material like a door and the shelves in matching stock without paying an arm and a leg and your firstborn's lifetime earnings. Marine Decraguard ain't cheap! My shelves were mounted at the...

Hey Joe, I sort'a like this version of "Popeye's boat". Don
