RE: WIFI Connection
No, you do not need your own provider when using WiFi. Your Google email will work nicely no matter how you access the internet. It sounds like you are good to go. Hopefully you will have a strong WiFi connection with adequate bandwidth. Many campgrounds advertise having WiFi and you actually find they have weak signals or inadequate bandwidth. A lotwill depend on how close you are to their antenna.

Carbonite.com, but you will need a fast connection to upload GBs at a time.

RE: AUTONET
So, I don't get it... :?
The WIFI available for FREE at campgrounds, libraries, businesses, etc, etc has always been more than adequate. Especially since I upgraded to a 19db gain directional antenna at a total cost of less than $80. There are no contracts, no monthly/yearly fees, etc. I can use VOI for free if I want.
Am I living in the dark ages? Am I missing something? :?
WiFi works fine IF it is available. If you are camping 20 miles from town and need access daily, a wireless cell signal or satellite is about the only way. I personally don't like driving around town (even if it is close to the campsite) with my computer on trying to find an unsecure WiFi connection. I would much prefer just turning on my MiFi and doing what I need to do. I usually spend about two hours a day online and I prefer to do that in the privacy of my coach, not in a public area where WiFi is available.

RE: 2004 Jeep Liberty Limited
Congrats, I believe you will love your new toad! My signature pic (visibile in my first post above) was in the Mojave last year where we took Libby on a little off roading to the Lava Dunes.

RE: 2004 Jeep Liberty Limited
We love our 2004 Libby. So far have towed it about 24,000 miles and driven it 30,000 miles. I am six foot and weigh 250 and have no trouble getting in or out and being comfortable while driving it. It is a 4WD Jeep and has a stiff suspension, thus a little rougher ride than your Honda. It also only gets about 16-18 MPG but is a tough vehicle and goes just about anywhere.

RE: Electrical adapter
I know that you can't get more amps from an outlet than what is being supplied to it. Like you said though, 2 separate 15 amp circuits would be able to supply 30 amps. And, the unplugged cord is a hazzard if it is connected to the plugged in one.
I see where they sell a single 15 male plug to a 30 recepticle though.
Most likely there is a single circuit running to the duplex of 12 gauge wire which will not handle 30 amps regardless of the circuit breaker. If there are two separate runs of 12 gauge wire, each on its own 15 or 20 amp breaker, it would work. The single 15 male plug to 30 amp receptacle is just an adapter that allow you to get 15 amps through your 30 amp cable. That will run most things in the RV but usually not enough to hande the A/C.

RE: Savannah GA to Lake City FL
The construction on I95 will consume about half the time the traffic and traffic lights on 17 will. Yes, you will have a little bit of stop and start on I95 but it isn't that bad, especially compared to US17.

RE: 12 Volt Help!!!!!
also check your GFI outlets in the bath or kitchen and be sure they have not tripped off. if one has tripped off reset it and see if that solves your problem.
GFI's are in the AC circuits, not DC. A loose connection at the battery or open circuit near the battery is my guess.
well, duh.
So kindly inform us how a GFI problem would affect the 12V system the OP asked about????:h

RE: 12 Volt Help!!!!!
I had the same trouble on my MH and it was a 50 amp breaker near the battery disconnect relay. My suggestion would be to get a 12V probe and start tracing the 12V line from the battery all the way to the fuse panel.

RE: NEXUS PASS - GOOD IDEA?
Last year we came into Canada about 10:00 am on May 1 on 13/539 just below Aldergrove and there was no line in either direction. We were there and through in less than 5 minutes. We saw no one coming into the US during that time. Depending on where you are headed, it may be too far out of the way but if not it is a good route.

RE: Switching from "S" corp to "C" corp, or LLC or personal
You didn't say if you were on the payroll and paying payroll taxes. If not, the IRS has really started looking at this, especially if you are taking distributions form the S Corp. That may be what your accountant is looking at. As others have said, you need to get some real good advise regarding your state and other effects on switching types of business.

RE: FL route 301
Be careful of your speed, as there are several towns that rigidly enforce the speed limits, but the are NOT speed traps, as they have huge signs several miles before the enforcement areas. Also as you approach a change in speed limit, the signs are very well marked, so just be mindful of the enforcement areas.
I guess it depends on your definition of a speed-trap. IMHO any road where the speed limit is lower than safety dictates and is rigidly enforced (do 46 in a 45 and get a ticket with the police waiting where the speed limit drops), and the community uses speeding fines as their sole source of revenue, that constitutes a speed trap. The area of Waldo and Lawtey are so notorious the AAA routes drivers around them. The big billboards warning drivers are not erected by the communities involved but other concerned citizens.

RE: FL route 301
It's good 4-lane road all the way, a few stop lights in the larger towns. Just be careful going through Lawtey, Starke and Waldo as they are all well known speed traps. That is always our preferred route when connecting wth I-75. Cut over at FL-326 to avoid all of the Ocala traffic.

RE: Driving to Skagway, Alaska
Leave the trailer in Whitehorse and drve down to Skagway. Yes - you have to backtrack - only the one road to Skagway!
Another option is to camp at Carcross and make a day trip to Skagway. If you are traveling to Alaska, leave Hwy 1 at Jakes Corner and take Hwy 8 through Tagish to Carcross. When leaving Carcross, take the Klondike Highway (Hwy 2) north back up to Hwy 1. Not quite as much backtracking this way. The highway was good last summer - no gravel at all.
One advantage to this also is that you will not be taking the fiver through customs on the way to and from Skagway.

RE: Itasca State Park, MN?
We were there that time of year two years ago and were able to get reservations a week before arriving even though many sites were not available. We had a 35' MH and there were many sites that acepted MHs 40' long. Don't forget to bring mosquito repellent and something to wash the dragonflies off the front of the MH. :B
Our blog entry for this stop on our trip can be found here.
