Anyone else wonder who designed Loves Campgrounds...

They are not destinations to me, but a place to spend a night on the way To The Destination. Why would they design them all as Back-In's? A pull thru would have made way more sense if they had any intelligent person creating them. Quick in and out...

i know they are probably the noisiest places on earth but for an simple overnight they would make a lot of sense when you are just trying to get somewhere else.. Of course we are in a motorhome with Toad (4 wheels down). For us to detach and back in for a single night the place has to be spectacular! I am pretty sure they do no Qualify..

Was looking for a Locker to use as we travel thru Maine..

used the amazon.com/lockers site and found a locker in Lovell ME. It was in a local hardware store. I decided to call them to verify prior to buying something I needed. They did not have a locker there. The employee mentioned that any packages sent there not destined for their business are returned to sender. The place is a UPS shipping center, but only for outbound shipments, like Amazon Returns etc.

Is this something others have encountered? I am not sure why I thought I should call them, but glad I did. -Bill

Trying to determine when my next block of data arrives..

I see in the app it says I have use X data since May 18th. Does that mean my next 300 GB block arrives on June 18th at UTC midnight? I'll be cutting it close as a traverse Canada this summer and want to keep Internet costs down as Fuel costs have skyrocketed this summer. (They are about double what they were just last summer. (thanks Billionaires)

ThinkBook 14s Yoga (14") Seems to have stopped charging yesterday

The charge icon is showing but the percentage charged is not going up. Yesterday it stayed all day at 27% while I was trying to charge it back to 100%. I had it hibernate overnight and this morning it showed 23% charged. Been charging it a couple hours now, while using it a little bit and its still showing 23%. Battery lasted for 3-4 hours just a couple days ago. I usually charge it to 100% then drain it down to 10-20% and plug it back in. Its there something that needs to be reset what? Its a few years old now but normally I use it once or twice a week. Now i am using it everyday as I am traveling. Maybe the battery is actually charging but its just not updating the charged state?

I know I cannot have 2 AppleTV remotes connected, can I have a 3rd party remote using BT as a second or does it need to be IR only?

Its seems odd Apple wouldn't allow more Apple TV remotes as it could be a revenue stream and make its users happy, but they don't. I see the Function 101 remote has a BT and an IR remote available. Will the AppleTV allow a second BT remote if its from someone else? Or do I need to buy the IR version as Apple will remove the 1st BT remote if I pair the Function BT remote like it does with a second Siri Remote?

Cerbo GX and SeeLevel BT integration question (v3.73)

The Cerbo v3.73 version release says its added SeeLevel 709-BTP7 Bluetooth tank sensors integration capability. Anyone figure out how? I upgraded and checked the BT settings and the Tank settings (the latter are physical connections) and see nothing yet. I have integrated some Ruuvi BT sensors in the past so I know its possible. I searched professional and regular Victron documentation and found nothing except the RVC stuff from a couple years ago.

Looking for idea on installing dead bolts on my garage door?

I was thinking about using a smart-outlet to power them on to open the lock or even something like a regular front door deadbolt to put a square piece of steel in the way of a roller on each side. Electric would be good. I see a lot of 12v things being sold for hundreds of dollars but 12v in a garage seems like a kludge. 120v would be best as that is what is usually available in our garages. Has anyone mounted a regular manual deadbolt one one, what did your bracket look like? Anyway looking for diy ideas for doing this prior to our next 6 month trip.

I was shocked to learn there is no way to fix this without sending it in to apple (not a store) There isn't a reset button or anything else. Not as well engineered as I had thought before yesterday.
