Portable Satellite and Mobile Satellite

By Tom, March 14, 2010

Here is the popular VuQube mounted on the back of a semi tractor cab.

Portable Satellite and Mobile Satellite are the buzz words for the most useful 12 volt television accessories. This is the hardware that will bring in Satellite transmission entertainment when you are way out there or just out of any other hook up range.

These VuQube Portable Satellite systems are vehicle mountable as well as hand carry. That’s right, you can just walk out where there is an unobstructed view of the sky and place the dish. Run the long cable back to your campsite or vehicle and watch TV.

I recommend 12 Volt Travel for not only 12 Volt DC Televisions and Satellite accessories but for all of your travel needs. The customer service is real and when you call your questions are answered by a customer representative. Telephone waiting times are kept short. Emails are answered.

Visit 12 Volt Travel and I’m sure you’ll agree, the prices are right, the selection is grand and when you do business with these folks you will get the best that the Internet has to offer.

Beltronics Radar Detector GX65 Professional

By Tom, July 10, 2009

A “Professional” Radar Detector? What’s up that? I was not even aware that there were professional speeders. Hope my new Corvette comes with one of these!

This puppy costs five hundred bucks, so it better jump through some hoops. I’m not really a speeder and I was not aware of what all radar detectors do, with any detail.

For example this one comes with a built-in GPS. Not to tell ya’ where you’re going but to tell what’s waiting for you on the road ahead. It comes, “pre- loaded with thousands of red light and fixed position speed camera locations throughout North America” and you can update the database at their website. Boggles the mind.

There’s more, the list of features is genuinely impressive. I’d chat about it here but it gets “a little” technical. It’s a Radar Detector but it’s also a Laser Detector…Yikes!

So lets see, I’m up against a Police Officer with an Interceptor car, Radar, a Dog, assorted small arms both lethal and non-lethal, two way radio, a cell phone and now Lasers too.

If this baby can report the future I guess I’ll be OK, but if things go awry, I’m gunna stop and pay the ticket. Here’s an even better idea, leave early, enjoy the scenery, drive safe, be cool.

In case the $500.00 price tag is a little steep, you can peruse a boatload of Radar Detectors by Cobra and Escort at 12 Volt Travel dot com.
