The Tool That Every RVer Needs
This tool should be in everyone’s repair kit! The ClampTite clamp maker can put a strong, low profile, good looking clamp on any material. Did you blow a radiator hose in the middle of the Mohave Desert? Is your leaking supply hose an embarrassment to you? Did you break your shovel handle while getting your tow vehicle unstuck? No problem! Just clamp it! The ClampTite comes in several different models and four sizes. My personal favorite is the Premium model (CLT01) which is large enough to do any job I need, yet small enough to get into places that would be tough to do with a screw type clamp. The clamps it makes better looking than any automotive clamps that I have seen and works better. The only thing I would buy differently next time is the kit. Having a zippered kit in the truck would be much better than my current bag setup.

Garmin Fusion Upgrade for Elim
Переглядів 6672 роки тому
Elim gets an upgraded stereo! The 2019 Classic had a Polk PA4A stereo which was a dated design and the Bluetooth functionality was horrible. I chose the Garmin Fusion as the replacement before I knew that Airstream had made the same move. It’s a much better stereo and works with modern smart phones (our main source of entertainment) much better. We’ve been very happy with the Fusion and it’s in...

    I went with a Visible wireless unlimited hotspot on an iphone 12 mini ($230) from Amazon that feeds a TP Link AC750 nano router ($37). I now get unlimited internet anywhere on Verizon's cell tower system and the router signal extends out to about 40 ft from my Airstream. Works like a champ, is cheap ($25 a month flat fee), is stable, I routinely see 5-8Mbps, and I've run 9 devices on it simultaneously without any issues, plus, I use the phone to support the internet 24 hrs a day and as a dedicated house phone. I could up the service to 5g for $10 a month more but have no need for the extra speed.

    I have an Airstream Classic and also a Pro Pride hitch. I was wondering does the snap pad on the tongue jack make it harder to disconnect the hitch. I ask because with the stabilizer bars on the Pro Pride, the hitch needs to be pretty straight behind the truck in order for the tongue jack pad to go down (fit) between the stabilizer bars. Did you find the Snap Pad for the tongue jack to make that even more of an issue as they make the tongue jack pad wider.?

    I love how you conveniently left out the most difficult part of the repair - getting the hose onto the hose end. Did you install the inner lining first and then the outer fabric sheathing or at the same time? The fabric sheathing nearly makes it impossible to get it on far enough to clear the two notches on the hose end without either ripping the inner lining or outer sheathing. I tried lubing it with dawn dish soap which worked getting the inner lining installed but no dice on the outer sheathing. I tried pulling it on with a pair of pliers but that only caused the strands of the sheathing to unwind. I finally threw in the towel after an hour trying to mess with it. My time is worth more than trying to salvage a POS $50 hose.

    • @weeeves
      @weeeves Рік тому

      I decided to try one more attempt at it and I finally got the hose on there. First, I burned the edges of the fabric lining to prevent them from fraying and then I put the hose under hot running water while expanding the outer fabric sheathing with a pair of needle nose pliers from the inside (in between the inner lining and outer sheathing). This stretched it just enough where I could get the inner lining and outer lining on at the same time (while using dish soap and hot water). Then I tried using my 0.041" stainless wire from the 90's but it was way too stiff to bend around such a tight radius so I used the next size down I had which was 0.032 and that ended up working well. I've got the newer ZeroG hose with the plastic grip instead of the rubber one you have. The 2nd notch/recess on this newer style hose end was further inward, underneath the aluminum coupling making it a bit more difficult to use the tool but it can be done. Now I understand why so many of these ZeroG hoses leak right out of the box - they are extremely difficult to assemble without tearing the inner lining. They need to be pressure testing these hoses before shipping them off.

    • @elimlife5980
      @elimlife5980 Рік тому

      If you get the hw3 version, the BR1 is a great deal. The earlier versions have some drawbacks so I would stay away from them if you can. In particular, the hw1 version has some real throughput issues when using WiFi wan and local WiFi at the same time.

    • @jongrote5387
      @jongrote5387 Рік тому

      While the BR1 Mini does have 2 SIM slots, it has only a single LTE modem, so only 1 SIM can be used at a time. With the Transit DUO, that has 2 modems, and each modem has 2 SIM slots, so you can insert up to 4 SIM's, but you can use both modems simultaneously.

    Hi. Great video! I became an instant subscriber from an earlier video where you mention your experiences with Airstream technical support. I had similar experiences and took my router from Airstream's control too. I am integrating my Starlink into my 33' 2019 Classic and am following your procedure. I am using the same converter and PoE injector. I cut the Starlink cable and wired it to the "B" standard. I verified my connection by installing an Cat5e jack (also to "B") on the router side of the cable and restored my connection. I have verified that I have 48 volts with the correct polarity at the PoE power terminal. What I'm not sure of is the jumper configuration. It was difficult to see in the video. I setup what I thought I was hearing but when I power up and wait for several minutes my Starlink app says that it is disconnected. I can only think my jumper setup is wrong. Can you show a picture of the proper jumper configuration? Thanks so much and I look forward to future videos!

      If your cell phone is capable cellular connection over WiFi (most smart phones are, but you need to check with your carrier) it will enhance your coverage by being able to use whatever data connection is being used by the peplink. Just know that you have to change the registered e911 address in your phone whenever you do that. Some jurisdictions have severe penalties for incorrect usage of e911 calls and it does you no good to have your emergency cellular call routed to someplace you are not.

    • @elimlife5980
      @elimlife5980 Рік тому

      Ahh, I see. No it won't. The antenna simply terminates in an SMA connector on the back of the Peplink. The Peplink has it's own cellular modem which needs the antenna. You could, if you wanted to, disconnect the antenna from the Peplink and connect it to a cell booster to get that functionality, but then you lose the data-over-cellular in the Peplink. If you are not using the Peplink cellular data at all, I don't see why you couldn't do that, but you will need a cellular boosting device to connect to the antenna. I think the only thing you would gain by that is having a slightly better antenna outside the Airstream. If it were me, my first choice would be to use cellular-over-WiFi through the Peplink data, and the second choice would be to get a better antenna mounted on a pole (better height and more directionality for a better signal.)

      Starlink is just another ISP (Internet Service Provider). All it does is give you connectivity to the Internet. All of those services (streaming, email, web browsing, etc..) are the same services you would use with a normal provider like a DSL or Cable company (or even cellular hot spot) use. Once it's connected, it acts just like all the rest (Except for other satellite services like Hughes net, or excede. It's way better than those - faster and much less delay)

  • @LilyWasHereMB
    @LilyWasHereMB Рік тому

    Another question, why did you cut the cord? The holes you made were plenty big enough to slip the dishy-end Starlink connector through and all the extra cable could stow in the box you installed your connector in. My Starlink cable runs behind my van's B pillar trim to a hole in my roof originally put there for a light bar. No problem passing the proprietary Starlink connector through the hole or the cable gland. Then I ran the cable to the back of the van and have it stowed and a Pelican type case using a M25 size watertight cable gland to get the cable into the case. When I put the dish up, I take the cable out of the hard case and connect it to the dish and I'm ready to go. I have a Starlink pivot mount bolted to my roof rack but I still have the X base for ground deployment. In my case, there is no break, no added vulnerability, in the Starlink cable and the hole in the roof is no different, and no more vulnerable to water leakage, than a solar panel, WeBoost, or WiFi Ranger connection. The downside to my installation is that it's more or less permanent as removing the cable would be rather involved. But why would I want to remove it? If I want to use the dish at the house, and I don't but if I did, I simply buy another 75 ft cable for the house.

      When the Starlink is being used on the road with this Airstream, I do not use the Starlink router. (It requires 120VAC and running the inverter 24/7 while boon docking isn't acceptable for us.) I use a small 12V to 48V DC-DC converter and a POE injector to directly power Dishy and the Airstreams Peplink router provides the wiFi/Routing functions. It cuts power usage in half. The cable must be cut and a standard T568B connector used to connect to the rest of the system. I also have an additional 75' Starlink cable that packs with it (and I do carry the router) so that I can still use the Starlink when away from the Airstream.

    Why do you need cell service at all when Starlink is running? I just returned from a 3 week trip to Colorado, Wyoming, and South Dakota plus 7 drive through states. My van has ATT and I have 2 phones, one Mint (t-mobile) and the other is verizon. There were locations where I had no cell signal from my providers and the van's ATT wifi was also unavailable but, I could still make calls, check email, send texts, and surf the web on my phones because I connected to Starlink wifi.

If we are traveling on the road and stop to make lunch or to rest, I don't want to have to set the Starlink service up so the cell service is nice there. I also recently stayed at a campground where Starlink was not an option due to the site being nestled in a grove of tall trees. Cell service was all I could use there. The key for us is to always have service so that I can run my business.

    Want to do a similar install into my Airstream, but am a little leery of wiring the RJ45 5e connectors. When assembling the connectors on either side of the L-Com piece, do you wire each connector the same, or do you reverse the second one so that the same colors line up. Hope you understand my question, and thanks.

      The connectors are always made the same for a given standard. For the T568B standard, the order of colors will be white/orange, orange, white/green, blue, white/blue, green, white/brown, brown. Insert them into the back of the connector oriented so the clip side is down. Good luck and thanks for watching!

      I would recommend doing it with a Ethernet smartplug instead. The wire would come out where your current coaxial cable ports are located.

      I actually considered that. Is the smartplug actually a shielded ethernet connector? When I look at pictures, all I could see was a plastic housing where the ethernet plugs in. the shielding is critical for the lightning/ESD protection. While I used the connectors I already had, if you are buying them new, you are looking at about the same cost unless you use the lower priced connectors off of Amazon. You would have considerably more cable laying on the ground if you also use the flagpole method of mounting the dish. Those two issues kept me from using the SmartPlug. (tripping hazard and unsure of the shielding). It helped that in our Airstream, everything was right up in front so entering with the power cables was easy and meant less internal cabling.

      The shielding is fine and I put the cable on a spool on top of the propane tanks. I use a cyberpower surge protector to power the router and minimize potential damage. The cable goes from the side of the rig to the front without touching the ground.

      @@elimlife5980 I have routed the 75-foot cable from under my front couch through the original battery-cable route (I too moved batteries from box in front) and into battery box. I coiled the cable in the box. To use it, I can access cord (with original Starlink plugs) and wrap it around a 20-ft flagpole to a pole mount or to the three-legged tripod. Won’t need the L-com connector. Thanks.
