I saw an Agile that used a vertical bike rack with the left size removed so it could fit with the spare without an extender. I've been trying to track down the unit so I could check it out.

Re: Roads to avoid

I've made that mistake too. The road reminded me of the uphill switchbacks in the National Forest north of Clear lake, from the lower campground to the top of the mountain. By the way, if you take...

Re: The Redwoods in late May - Early June

If you're staying at the campground for awhile, don't expect much charge help from your solar panels. But you probably will see the sun. :lol:

Re: A "B" with a RV-style door, not a sliding door

It always seemed to make a lot of sense to me to replace the sliding door with a hinged door on a B. It would be quieter in a campsite and much easier to deal with.

Re: Sportsmobile options, split from E-Trek topic

The Roadtrek Agile has a pull-out table (small) available to the driver's seat. It pulls out of a drawer in the cabinetry behind the seat. I find it useful for a laptop.

Re: Roadtrek Sprinters all compressor frig

My Agile has the compressor fridge. There is plenty of battery capacity to run the fridge, furnace at night, watch a movie via inverter, charge iPhone and IPad, lights, etc. When spending more than...

Thanks. I'll try that. For now I just run an app on the iPad.

Re: Late Winter Trip to Death Valley

395 is on the eastern side of the Sierra, so you'd be avoiding most of the danger of snowy roads. There is a bit of elevation, but nothing like the mountains you'd have to cross going down I-5 or...

Re: Quietness/Insulation & Stereo

My Agile's in-dash stereo/nav system and the rear Sony system can use the same speakers or flip the switch to change. Both units also can play the same format music DVDs and USB memory sticks. A...

Re: More efficient campsite checkin?

I stayed in a National Forest campground that was just what I wanted. I was looking for tall trees, quiet, maybe a babbling brook. I carefully drove down 8 miles of dirt road to get there. It was...

Re: Touring or Camping?

We fit the definition for a tourer. We seldom state at a campsite for more than a couple of days before moving on to the next National Park, state park, forest, or some cute little town. On a...

Re: Apple Announces CarPlay

In the case of my Agile, there is a little door on the front that holds a microSD card. That card holds the map database and probably the software for the nav system. Pop it out and plug it into a...

Re: Apple Announces CarPlay

A modern nav/stereo system is a computer that has to boot up like any computer and whose software and maps can be updated. I'd like to see them come with some sort of industry standard connector...

Re: Apple Announces CarPlay

I guess I'm not seeing the advantage of CarPlay. The dash unit that came with my Agile can play DVDs full of mp3 files, organized into however many playlists/directories you want. The USB connector...

Re: California trip bits of this and that

I'm glad you enjoyed the trip. Tioga pass (eastern route to Yosemite) isn't usually open until sometime in May or June. As you can imagine, it is quite a job to plow that road since it hangs on the...

Is Travasak back in business

It looks like Camping World is selling them. Does anyone know if this is the original company or whether someone just bought the trademark?

I expect to see campfire restrictions later in the season at some locations.

Re: Really basic digital tv question

I use the "TV Antenna Helper" app (android) to show a map of my current position with respect to the tv broadcast towers within range of me. It is handy to knowing the direction.

Re: New Roadtrek manuals coming soon ( now available ! )

Thanks! The new manual for the Agile is a big improvement, but is missing the wiring and plumbing diagrams. I guess I'll keep both.

Re: Apple Announces CarPlay

If CarPlay is popular with users, I would expect to see Android versions. The interface to the vehicle is supposedly via thunderbolt connector on the phone. Thunderbolt is basically a very fast...

Re: 270.49 MPH

The shift points are amazing. Shifting into top gear at 230+ mph? If I ever see one of these on the road, I hope I can get out of the way fast enough. :shock:

Re: California drought and camping

I haven't heard anything about a camping ban at state parks. If so, it must be only some state parks or very new since I had no problem at Big Sur a week ago.

Re: Future Projects & Brainstorming Ideas

Hmmm. You might be right. I'll have to see how it is wired to the Sprinter. I'm sure that the nav system will be a little confused, since it tries to measure my speed by sat positioning. Note to...

Re: Future Projects & Brainstorming Ideas

Two of the switches will be momentary switches for next track and previous track signals to the in-dash stereo. Those should be easy.

One will be to trigger a little circuit to flash a small LED...
