Finally Got It..! Our new 3121
So.. as i mentioned Izzy and i were to pickup our new 3121CK on Monday.. which we did.
We picked up our new unit in LaCrosse WI, and finally hooked up at about 3p. which was pretty late as a leaving time. But with all the stuff we had to do.. oh well.
we drove until about 5.30 and found a KOA open with 50a service and decided to stop. turns out it was 27 degrees on Monday/tuesday morning in WI.. and we burned through about 1/4- 1/3 of a tank of propane.
Tuesday.. our first full day of traveling... GAWD... 30 to 40 mile headwinds which doubled down on the fuel as we were only getting between 5.4 and 7 miles per gallon. we stayed at a super 8 so we could take showers.
Wednesday.. good sailing on our last day home we averaged 10.7 mpg for 425 miles.
TST507: Bought it.. used it on the truck on the way up and it worked flawlessly. swaped the sensors from the truck to the unit in WI and it worked flawlessly on the way back w/o the repeater.
RV Life APP: WTF... almost everytime i tried to use it.. it would cause my phone to hang 'forever' if plugged into my f250. Very un-enlighting.. no eta/times.. blah blah blah. Blank white screen when launching... 'if this is the best.. we're screwed'..!
all in all.. it was a great first experience (i won't tell you about trying to disconnect for the first time.. sheesh! hahahaha.. MORE VIDEOS!..

Ron, glad you got your TST 507 on. Good peace of mind. On the RV Life app, did you download the states? I have done the RV Life/RV Trip Wizard session at the Fall Rally the last two rallies. We primarily use the Trip planning portion. Personally, we have the large Ram GPS and a Garmin RV GPS. We also use Waze on occasion or Google Maps. I love RV Trip Wizard but there are still some bugs in the RV Life mapping program. One that I ran into is that the turn directions does not return you to Sirius XM. Enjoy your new 3121.

A couple of small electric heaters and using your fireplace saves that expensive propane. Especially if someone else is paying electric.

Maybe this is a naive question, but did you mean this is a 3231CK? I just haven't ever seen a 3121CK

Ron, that’s why it’s 37’. We have the same model. The 3121 is 35’.
