I seem to remember Verizon threatening to throttle us to 3G. But 2G? Isn't that slower than the old dial-up internet speed?

Congrats on the 66K post, Jeff. But my sympathy on the moving in 100* heat. I guess she has you wrapped around both pinkies

Just a quick note: We arrived for the FCOC rally at the Goodlife RV park on MaIn St, Mesa, backed into the assigned slot between two park models and proceeded to level up. Most of that process was completed when the hydraulic pump quit working. OK, we're more or less level, I'll put the slides out Oh dear, slide ready light is not on.
So we call the rally organizers who promise to send a tech. round (The Freightliner crew are here already).
In the meantime, I go visit my good friend Google and discover a thread on the Thor Owners Forum dealing with just this problem. One post advised me to go look for two breakers in the battery compartments. They have a yellow arm which pops out when tripped. So, there they were with their arms hanging out - once reset, everything was good. Quite why they tripped is a mystery as the engine had been running at the time. Maybe it was the 100 deg ambient that did it. Also, why doesn't the skimpy info from Lippert talk about this?

So tell us, is the Journey your Destination?
Can you name one thing that your Bounder does not have that you don't need?
If you can answer the above questions, you are fully qualified!!!!
I see you are also a Minnesnowtan. Way cool! I grew up in Bloomington.
There are over 300 RVMs waiting to welcome you!
Dave and Nola, RVM1
Journey, no telling who or what one will bump into. Our Bounder has us covered. If it isn't on board and we think we need it then punt!
We are transplants to MN. Followed kids/grandkids. Now they all moved. We roll away when it turns cold.

I've accused others of being a blockhead, but never considered myself one until now.
I missed commenting on signal strength and I wanted to say that I have the same fat head syndrome as you do. (Was that a nice way of putting it?)
