- I hold another post in the Buckeye Trail Association and I finished writing information and rearranging a document concerning the logistics of the circuit.
- It was a rest day for me and my mechanic on the motorhome. He predicts that he has one day left. Then my uncle is going to help me tile it's floor, hopefully this weekend? I'm probably going to spend the next few days replacing the analog coax cable and mounting three antennas. There's two for the the wi-fi/ cellular signal booster and the other one is the upgrade from analog to digital TV. I have all the parts, they're just waiting to go in.
I might be able to tape, or couple the digital coax from the outside and master bedroom, then go to the other end and just pull them through? I've got a new faceplate to accommodate the some more ports that I wish to add to the current arrangement. There's a breaker switch to the converter that needs replaced. That piece of equipment is what converts AC power from what's known as the "shore cable," or the electricial line from the outside plug to the motorhome. It also converts the DC power from the batteries to it's AC outlets. At the moment, I'm convinced that the dual house batteries, which use 2 - 12V marine batteries have seen their last winter and are totally dead. I'll probably have them replaced on Friday?
The motorhome is pending a windshield and full replacement of all seven tires. It gets that seven by having 2 in the front, 4 in the rear (call "dualies") and one spare. From what I've seen on line, tires have a 6 year life. Mine are going on double that. The ones that I have now are a rough ride for about 20 minutes until they warm up.
The overhead cab might be strong enough for me to sleep in? I'm 6ft 6in tall and it's difficult to get up and down from, so, I'd like to sleep up there. That leaves the master bed and the table which sets down lower and the cushions convert to a bed. And I might have hikers stay with me?

Two Wi-Fi/ Cellular Signal Booster Antennas and Wiring
I found an SMA splitter. If I'm right, that means that I can have two Wi-Fi/ cellular signal booster antennas mounted on the mirror bars. I'll now have to purchase the second antenna and about 20 feet of SMA cable to go from the passenger's side cab door to the table overhead compartment in the chassis on the driver's side. I'll probably get it at Micro Center when I purchase the second antenna.
With the brakes out of the way, we're on to more cosmetic things in the chassis. Since we're going to tear apart a lot, this is the point where we'll have access to the analog coax cables and get to replace them. There three ports in the motorhome. One is outside to jack in cable TV. The other two are inside. One is above the table and the other is in the bedroom area. The SMA cables will have simiar routing, so we might as well do it then.

Mock Hike Written Simulation & Motorhome Antenna Parts
It turns out that my North Country Trail tracks for the State of Michigan are going to need more work than I originally thought. I'm probably going to have to re-merge five chapters, this time without taking any shortcuts. But I just took a look at what I need to do and it seems like the bog is waiting to break when I get past Michigan.
The problem with the NCTA's mile markers is that you can only see what the mileage is if you click on them. It comes up in a bubble. That's not good for what I'm doing. I have to see labels, so I'm going ahead with getting mileages off of my tracks for Michigan and North Dakota since I've recently found out how easy they are to do. With all that said, my mock hike written simulation for the North Country Trail will continue.
I ordered a new N type coupler for my wi-fi/ cell signal booster. My plan is to drill a new hole right near where the bar mirrors mount and screw it in. Then run the line inside the door to some shielding between the door and the cab, then under some plastic shielding and up into a set of cabinets where my cable and antenna TV couplers are. The CB antenna cable is running through the side crack in the door, but computer equipment is usually more sensitive to kinks and breaks.
The motorhome has old ports for special tube screen low, DC power tube screen TV's. But, even if I do get an LCD, or LED television, they're so easy on power these days that I'm never going to use those special ports. I'll probably use a digital TV tuner card on my laptop anyways.

Wi-Fi/ Cellular Antenna and USB Cable
I just purchased an outdoor antenna for the Wi-Fi and cellular signal booster with 15 feet of cable to connect to a port over the table. I also got some USB cable to connect a headlight that I got from a Chinese bicycle company that my bikes don't need. It's mounted on a light that has a swing arm on my desk.
