space) above the fridge. I removed the cabinet and the compressor fridge fit like a glove. It is a Magic Chef 10.3cf, very efficient, ready to load about an hour after turning on. It also required an inverter, I install the AIMS 1200w that has auto-transfer switch. The fridge was just under $300. To remove the RV fridge, I dismounted the cooling unit and it fit through the entry door. I removed the doors from the new Magic Chef and it fit through the door. Not sure if this will work for your fridge setup since I don't know what is under your fridge. Do some research for that. I have ran the inverter and fridge for over 28 hours on the original house batteries a few times. Those batteries were 3 1/2 years old when I finally replaced them with AGMs. I ran the fridge on those for about 36 hours on a recent trip. Batteries were at 50% so I started up the genny. Haven't ran it that long since but I know that I can, but shouldn't very often. Overnight and into the next morning is fine. Depends on what else you are powering at the time. Install a battery monitor and watch those amp hours! I'm frugal.

Nano-Shield ceramic coating is just what the name implies, ceramic coating. It was designed by Vinnies Northbay Airstream (CA). It is top notch ceramic coating that will last the life of the RV. It is not just for Airstreams, it works on gel-coat as well including on boats. Once applied, no ,ore polishing and waxing. It looks like new from there on. Much cheaper than full body paint (I will never buy another RV that is not full body paint but, moot point here). For our coach, it is a little over $4000 but worth it to me (maybe not to others). Search YouTube for Long Long Honeymoon, they have a few videos about the coating including a recent live chat with Vinnie and Brian regarding their new Florida location. Lots of good info on that one.

Darn, the first line of that got cut off. Here it is:

On my Vegas 25.5, the fridge has a drawer underneath and a Cabinet above (wasted space).

I see that Bob Denmon is complaining about not using his more, but he has done 21,297 posts. Get off the computer and drive Bob! LOL

When AT&T discontinued the unlimited plan and Wineguard unlocked the TOGO routers, I went to Cricked and got the sim that would be used in their hotspot. I installed it in the Wineguard and loaded info in the app as if it were AT&T (Cricket is AT&T) and it has worked great. 20gb for $35 or 100gb for $55. You can add data when you run low. If you are not using it the following month, skip that month's payment (as long as you don't go over 60 days from your last payment) then pay $5 to un-suspend and the $35 monthly fee...good for another month. Run low on data...just add more. You have control of plans, data and add-ons in the app or call for assistance. I have no complaints, never even had data speed slow down.

You see.... Bob was previously an Outlaw, past experiences has taught him to be diligent and careful with travel, besides you cannot save the world unless you are at home on computer

.... and all the while a genuine concern to help other fellow American RVers enjoy, and be safe with their RVs and a good dose of humor mixed in. In our current pandemic environment that is no small chore.

With your Winegard cricket plan have you ever noticed a signal with hotspot when there is no 4g or 5g on your phone? We have been mountain camping and no 4g or 5g phone and Winegard sim picked up signal?

Good luck in Wild Wonderful WV with cell coverage. You can have the greatest data plan in the world... but if you're not within range of a tower... nada data. Most places in the mountains you're lucky to get one bar, let alone useable internet.

Ground propagation of cell signals just doesn't work in hilly terrain. The low Earth orbit satellite experiments hold promise.
