The biggest barrier really was the decision to take the chance. The rest kind of fell into place. Today there is a large industry around RV'ers and hookups range from the basic to the lavish. Many retired people live 'the circuit', much of it along the coasts. It's not unusual to run into people with better ways of hooking into the net while on the road. In Maine a while back, I ran into an engineer guy who figured out an easy way to deal with 2-way satellite provider's restriction against mobile hookups. At one point I almost had such a gadget put on the roof, but decided not to when they talked about (necessary) drilling into the roof (it's an older camper and I think too delicate for that). Power isn't a problem. Just about every site provides 20, mostly 30 amp hookups. I think UPS's are a must, but power actually has been quite reliable. Even enough to run A/C with equipment running. Scanner is integral. I've gone through a few, but the one I have now is a really cheap, thin, easy to use Canon with a USB connection that works okay for me. As for more about "technology on the road", I'd love to participate in any related exercise, but could really use some funding around now :) Bill > Kevin Cully _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
