AC THERMOSTAT MY PETS DIED - Event Date: 08 Jun 2012 - 08 Jun 2013

Waggle from nimble does NOT get added to your cell phone plan. It has its own cell phone service. It uses Verizon network. As far as data, it does use a small amount on your cellphone service for you to receive temperature information and alert information. Price of unit varies. $200 for basic and $300 for basic plus GPS. Units are usually on sale or you can get a coupon. Thanksgiving weekend sale is 50% off. BUT you do need a cellphone plan from them. We get the yearly and runs $120 yearly. They do offer monthly if that is your choice. I hate the cost of the cellphone subscription but it is worth it for the piece of mind.

Some/many of the places where we camp, there is no cell service.

These are half off right now for Black Friday. The website says it works with verizon.  I have ATT&T but would consider switching.  Can you tell me how it works?  Do you have to buy an extra data plan for it?

Most of the reason we are going to upgrade is so if the a/c quits, the thermostatically controlled fantastfan will come on and start pulling air through the trailer ... we currently leave the fantastic fan onlow.and.a.window open,even with.a/c running, just in case ..

Not usually, but many here leave the vent cracked open (fan off) and a window or two cracked open during cooler weather to prevent moisture buildup.  There was some discussion here on leaving the fan running with a window cracked open along with the A/C in case there is an A/C malfunction or the utility power goes out.  The fan would still run off of the pod's battery.
