Where Travel and Learning Come Together
We were offered the KING Omni GO OA1501 portable Omnidirectional HDTV antenna to test and write a review on. First let’s disclose that we were provided the antenna at no charge in exchange for testing and review. But we are giving an honest review and thorough test of this product. At first glance, this seems…
Alright, we have traveled quite a bit since last time I discussed Mileage. Here is the mileage since my last post. The first stretch we got 13.1 MPG, but this was a pretty flat stretch, towing, then we drove without the trailer up and down the coast a bit. The next move, there were some…
