Re: Hello... probably should introduce myself
I looked at the Verizon site and the best prepaid plan for the JetPack was $45 for 8GB plus a bonus of 7GB (so 15 total). So maybe the unlimited plan is gone. The store personnel are not always up to date on current offers.
Search YouTube for JetPack. There's a channel called Mobile Internet Resource Center that seems to have pretty reliable info.

Re: Hello... probably should introduce myself
I am going to dig into it a bit as far as tethering being restricted. I was working remote this week in NV. I have multiple T-Mobile lines and was using my phone for a Hotspot. Noticed the phone worked pretty good even though signal was a bit marginal, tethering worked good at 1st, but then dropped to an unacceptable crawl, basically I couldn't work. I do sometimes need to move large files and I think for this billing cycle I am now around 16gb, it seems on tethering I have been cut back to 2g or slower, but on phone it still works ok. I tested about 20 miles away on different tower, same result. I don't think a booster is going to help in this case since it looks like I was throttled. I am back home in Oregon now so will investigate.

Re: Extending Stabilizer Reach
VictoriaP said:I would absolutely buy “shoes” in a sturdy plastic version!Sharon_is_SAM said:@jgram2, I enjoy using the drill, too!
Actually, I like the simplicity of the horse shoes that @MuttonChops added to his stabilizers. That would be a simple addition in a light weight, paint-free, plastic. Maybe someone with a 3 D printer should create something for the Outback folks!
No need for someone to make something special. Just use a couple bolts like @MuttonChops did, a couple large flatwashers and locknuts, and pass said bolts through a stack of those "lego" blocks.
Come to think if it, I may do that myself since I always use a stack of those blocks even on flat level ground. Permanently attaching them to the stabilizer pads would free up precious storage space. Hmmmm.
Re: Water leak!
Sorry, @Photomom, but I wrote that as soon as I found out. I was cursing myself too, but because I'm right-handed, it just never dawned on me to try my left until yesterday when I started wondering "how are people reaching this?" and gave it a try. I was surprised it made such a difference - not huge in distance, but huge in results.
PS: I had also gone back into the trailer to see where I might be able to cut a new access hatch for reaching that lower connection & needed to feel the inside of the wall for obstructions. In the process I ended up trying my left hand. The new hatch idea is on hold for now, since I learned how to reach that connection.

Re: Water leak!
TIP:
To reach the city water port for hand tightening, especially for all the short statured right handers out there, do this:
1. Don't use your right arm!
2. Put your head down in the right corner behind the toilet.
3. Reach your LEFT ARM down into the left corner behind (forward of) the pump hose.
4. On the side wall you'll first feel the very small air vent tube & large fresh water tube. Reaching behind (forward of) & farther below those is the 1-inch size plastic collar of the city water port. Hand tighten.
I was able to reach far enough to firmly grasp it with thumb & two fingers to hand tighten a bit more. Previously, using my right arm with head in left corner, I could barely touch the top of it with my middle finger. I am 5'-8" tall.

Re: Making use of the Roof Rack
I think there's a weight limit. I wouldn't exceed it.
I saw someone put a longer box on it, but my impression is that anything that's above the roof line (especially something sticking up kind of vertically) would have a negative impact on gas mileage.
I think that if I had those rails, I'd be tempted to get a soft cargo bag and use it for carrying things like folding chairs, tables, awnings, sunshades, etc.

Re: Shelf instead of TV
I've yet to regret swapping my TV for a shelf. I use mine for all the little items (keys, wallet, dopp kit, water bottle, etc.) that previously had a hard time finding an accessible but out-of-the-way place to land.
This year the radio/DVD (and possibly the speakers) may be joining the TV and A/C in storage. I'm thinking the precious spaces they occupy can be better filled with something I actually use!
