Nice setup for some family camping fun!
How do you like your Ecoflow cooler? Do you use the ice maker? I played with it at CES when it was announced. Thought it was a cool novel idea having the ice maker, but it seemed to take up a lot of otherwise usable space.
Yeah we used it to keep the other cooler chilled without needing to buy ice. Made cubes, tossed them in the freezer compartment, then just kept the baggie in the other cooler topped off. A bit energy intensive, but the kids loved having ice cubes in their drinks too. If your drink is getting low, start making cubes from the app, then when it’s done go grab a new drink, drop the new cubes in the freezer compartment(we had a Tupperware for them), take the cubes you want and repeat. At night if you have extra energy and need a fireside task, you can make a bunch up for the next morning too. Have a D2M and Wave 2 as well
Oh the Wave 2 is awesome! It has taken a lot of effort to keep myself from buying it. I just can’t come up with a viable use case for it (we don’t tent camp).
I’m a fan of Ecoflow in general. Their power solutions are top notch in my book.
Too bad their robot mower flopped though 
Now this is what I’m talking about! My kind of “camping”. 
I have been eyeing their power products for a long time. I will pull the trigger one day soon I hope.
It’s my full time AC in the summer for my office
OK, OK 1 more OT EcoFlow comment from me
This was on my list to investigate as I saw at least 1 other person in the groups say they had it working with a resistor across 2 data pins, but procrastination pays off yet again:
Got the Starlink in 2021 for internet in our full time RVing adventure. Worked great in South Dakota and some other areas. Southeast US didn’t work at all in 2021. There were months were it didn’t work at all where we happened to be traveling. I continued to pay the bill convinced it would work eventually. And it did. LOVED the high speed internet all over the US. When I bought, the monthly fee was $99.00 a month. Starlink grandfathered that for quite awhile after the increase to $120.00. I kept the residential plan instead of moving to the mobile plan. (Just moved the service address to where we were staying). $40.00 dollar a month hack I suppose. Now we have a home with fiber Internet but dishy goes to the $5.00 a month plan while we stay home and goes back on the residential plan when we crawl back into the RV to continue the adventure. Could get faster speeds with a new terminal, but its fast enough for use at this point a time.
Still rocking the old round dishy, and I have 3 others in the family, all roundy. I was still using the original router till early this year the gave me the new little one. I bought 2 more so now I have 3 total making a mesh. I had the $99 plan to start that then became $120. Just last month I moved down the 200 plan that is $80 per month, I can’t tell I moved to that plan, so $40 per month back in my pocket. I live in rural area, so only thing near me is slow dsl.
I went to my own router a long time ago. Contemplated getting the new modem but never pulled the trigger.
I’m still running the second gen motorized flat dishes. They’re perfectly reliable, and I’d rather have the automatic tilting for better and more precise positioning so I haven’t bothered to upgrade to the new non motorized ones.
I don’t use the built in WiFi though. Like Ken, I use my own router and WAP setup.
Actually I had a mesh setup with a TP Link system. I did not use the old starlink router. I would add a remove it every once in a while so it would stay updated with firmware from starlink. I never noticed any issue with it on, so after a while I just left it on, but no devices were connected to it wirelessly. It was odd that starlink did not have a way to shut off the radio in it.
