    Has anyone had experience in the Camp Verde area of Arizona in Jan or Feb or have an RV Park recommendation? I'm thinking about spending a couple of weeks in that area next winter. Looks like average lows around 31 for this date in Feb, which I consider acceptable. There appears to be a...

    Anyone use Sprint's Magic Box while camping?

    Just received my Magic Box and it is huge! Am thinking of taking it on the road to see how well it will do. It's a 'data only' booster that Sprint offers for free. Since I have unlimited data on Sprint I thought I'd give it a go for streaming. Any insight is most appreciated.
