A stable and reliable Internet connection is an important requirement for us.  We both often work while on the road.   We also travel with our beagle Cappi and need to be in control of her environment when she has to stay behind. After a fair amount of research I decided to install a WiFi…

For several years now I’ve been running a Victron Quattro Inverter that is capable of handling 30A of AC input and 30A of AC output.   Unfortunately the stock wiring and breakers to and from the inverter were only capable of safely supporting 20A.   To accommodate the stock components  I’ve been programming  the inverter…

The rear sofa seat belts were a feature that we viewed as a real plus when we decided to purchase our 2017 Pleasure-Way Lexor TS.
