Any of you early arrivals able to comment on two things.
1. Quality of WiFi?
2. Quality of over the air TV?

Lots of channels.

Thanks Emery,

Because of your posting, I just spent an hour looking of a hunk of RG-6 and come connectors. Then I realized my crimper and cable roll was 45 miles away at my daughter's. I finally found about 50 feet of RG-6 and some screw on connectors.

I am going to look for my cable jumpers this morning also, Ken. If I can't find them will build a couple. May not even raise the satellite dish.

I like the idea of complete coverage WiFi coverage. I do not have to do anything this time. I wasn't asked to do it. In fact I did not even pack the WiFi stuff to bring to the rally.

Never mind the WiFi. Make sure you have something on board to deal with
ant infestation. That park is the worst place we've ever stayed when it
came to ants. We were there two days and were infested for over two weeks
with buzillions of ants in the coach. I did a little on site reaming and
the grounds keeper said that they had just treated the entire campgrounds a
week before our arrival. Sure didn't look like it to us.

Steve,
Sorry this happened to you, but we've been here 3 days now and no sign of ants.

Just a note to others, don't expect to come here and use the KOA WIFI to stream movies. It will bog everyone down. Just keep it to email and some low impact web browsing and everyone will be able to do the basics. JWIT

FWIW, there are 48 analog channels on the KOA cable system. If you want HI DEF, you will have to put up your bat wing. We found 9 HI Def channels mostly from Springfield which is 38 miles away. Not all of the major networks are available off air.

How many years ago was that, Steve?

1. I've been here 5 days and don't recall seeing any ants.

2. This site was not a KOA until recently. The KOA that was in Branson was farther away and doesn't exist anymore.

The one we stayed at was in Branson, on Animal Safari Road. The whole
place was crawling with ants.
If that is where you are now, and there are no ants, good on the place for
taking care of it.
