re: Towing a vehicle with a class B/C motor home....
Posted by clschwartz on 4/24/24 at 9:42 am to bengalfan50
Unless you have a need for something different, save all kinds of headache and plan on towing a Wrangler. There's no steering wheel lock and they take 60 seconds to put the transfer case in neutral. You almost can't screw it up.
4 door Jeep is over 5K lbs so if you are a stickler for the rules, you would probably need to drop to a 2 door if you were trying to town it behind a class B. I suspect any Class C would be fine pulling a 4 door.
As someone else pointed out, you're probably going to be overweight regardless on any Class B/C if you load it up. Heck half the Class A's without tag axles are running overweight too...
My Class A stops just fine without supplemental braking on but it's a jerk move to run without a safety mechanism if the towed vehicle separated so to me this isn't optional. Legally it's required pretty much everywhere anyway.

re: Li-Time (formerly known as Ampere-time) Lithium batteries.

To add a little more... I suspect you've already done this research but you'll need a Lithium specific charger and if you want to connect it to your alternator to re-charge on the water, you'll want an Li-BIM or a DC to DC charger to protect the alternator.

Not specifically with Li-Time but so far I've had good luck with the cheaper Chinese batteries on Amazon.
Have 4 12v 100ah DJLBERMPW (dumb name but it's an abbreviation for something) in my golf cart and they've been awesome.
Just put a Temgot 12v 200ah in my motorhome and it's great as well. Has low temp charging protection and an app to monitor the BMS.
I'd have no concerns with Li-Time.

re: TV's at your Tailgate
Posted by clschwartz on 9/8/23 at 3:54 pm to mdomingue
Yeah, I have it on my motorhome so I can only speak to the RV package. I think last time I was in BR I was seeing between 30-50Mb down and 10-20 up. It was plenty enough for me to take all my video calls for work while simultaneously streaming HD content to the TVs.
Latency was around 30ms if I recall.
The RV plans get throttled to save bandwidth for permanent addresses.

It'll be fine on Starlink, but streaming that much data over a mobile device on a game day is going to be problematic. Mobile data is usually fine on the Friday...
re: Camping World Stadium is a dump
Posted by clschwartz on 9/5/23 at 3:26 pm to Art Vandelay
Piling on here. My first and last time for that stadium. They seemed completely unprepared to host an event that day.
For all the effort to get to a destination, the game experience needs to be better.

You only pay for what you use but the cost per month is higher. Speed is also throttled on the RV plan as well.
If you aren't moving it around, you can get better speeds for a cheaper price but you have to keep the service active.
If it's a vacation home and you don't need it every month, you are stuck with the RV plan...

re: Pre-game action & parking for Camping World?
Posted by clschwartz on 8/29/23 at 3:34 pm to 18handicap
Thanks. I saw that Central Garage option, I just wasn't sure of how that shuttle was going to work out. I got suckered into doing Park and Ride for the rodeo one year and it was like a 2 hour wait to get on a shuttle out of NRG...
What's the story on that tailgate a block in the other direction? Alumni group or something?

Pre-game action & parking for Camping World?
Posted by clschwartz on 8/29/23 at 3:22 pm
We're a group of 6 flying in from Houston Sunday morning. Rather than screwing with 2 Ubers every time we want to make a move somewhere, I rented a Pathfinder (allegedly seats 7) for $65.
Any advice on Parking for the game?
None of us have been to this stadium before so was wondering if it's best to park downtown and just take the shuttle or if that's a isht show and we're better to just pony up and pay more to park closer to the stadium. There are resale parking passes available but they are pricey. I assume you can just find some random lot for $50-$100 but maybe I'm crazy. The wimenz are high maintenance so a mile walk isn't going to cut it...
As for Pre-Game, is the Fan Fest likely to be anything worth attending or should we just find a bar/restaurant to kill some time?

I think the universe is messing with me. Was just able to grab a lot 412 ticket straight from the website. I’ve been checking multiple times per day for the last 2 weeks…
Anyhow, I’m all set now…

The site is weird. It looks like they'd be available but when you try to add one to the cart you get:
"We are sorry. The number of seats you requested could not be found in any price level at this time. You may request a different number of tickets and try again."
I assumed the tickets were available so I drug arse on making plans only to see that those games weren't available.
I'm in Houston so I can't make all the games. Next year, I'm just going to buy them when the come available and sell what I can't make. For now I only have Army...

re: flat towing a Jeep YJ

My Automatic is designed to tow in Park with the T-Case in neutral. I'd have to go look closer at the user's manual but I don't recall there being separate instructions for the manual transmission...
re: Are these inflatable kayaks worth a crap?
Posted by clschwartz on 6/27/23 at 3:34 pm to SwampyWaters
I have a Bote Zeppelin and it's super stable. 3 air chambers so the odds of going down are low. Rated for 700lbs.
I'd stay away from the cheaper ones though.
As for worth the money, it depends on how you are using it. I have to pack it in a motorhome so a hard kayak isn't really an option. It's worth it for me to not have to rent at the destination.
