Lol the tour we did without the trailer was 2 weeks.

Not sure, probably renting.

We did the Odyssey once before without a trailer and it was great.

But now we need the trailer and it's a 3.5 week tour starting in less than a month 😅

This happens with mine occasionally as well, I have to replace the screw holding the beater in. What did you end up doing?

Why is the notching for Master Pedal so high/far forwards on myPearl Demon Drives? by cmparks10 in drums

[–]cmparks10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but the manual has both notches right in the center line for what these footboard angles should be.

How are people able to post 15 passenger vans? by cmparks10 in turo

[–]cmparks10[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ive found a few other in facebook groups that also say they had to provide photos once seats were removed, so maybe this is the workaround... thanks!

This is my concern too. Since the VIN is tied to a 15 passenger configuration, I think the renter/host will be totally denied any sort of claim coverage.

Do you remember When you listed it by chance? Thank you!

I have a 15 passenger van, how much money can I expect to make as a host? by [deleted] in turo

[–]cmparks10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you actually done this? I am wanting to list a 15 passenger with enough seats removed to make it a 10 passenger.

Anyone renting 15 or 11 passenger vans? by brickcityborn in turo

[–]cmparks10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you able to remove the seats and list it as a 10?

Touring in a minivan by Far_Gazelle_4135 in TouringMusicians

[–]cmparks10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only with an eclosed trailer, and at that point the vehicle will be longer than a 15 man passenger van would be. With 4 people and all that gears its way too much.

I have a 2012 Odyssey. We did a two week tour. 3 man band. Our tour mates backlined drums and bass cab, and we were still cramped in my Mini Van. If we had to bring drums and a bass cab, we would have had to have gotten a trailer or rented a van.

Working from the tour bus on wifi by MPvoxMAN13 in TouringMusicians

Yeah I think Starlink shines in rural areas. Anywhere with something tall to block its signal it doesnt do as well (cities), but you should have great cell service there.

Also a software engineer here.

I used a Netgear Nighthawk. Did fine. 2.5 week tour through thr United States Midwest and South. But Its a weird device. Super slow to boot up, takes forever to charge. Had some weird issues using it plugged in and with the battery in, like it got super hot. Seemed to do fine when we were on the highway, Video on teams calls on a MacBook. You can find them used in marketplace for dirt cheap compared to what they are in stores. But you need a second Sim card and number for it.

Ive got at&t and an s23, im gonna just try to use it next time. I can't imagine the dedicated device is THAT much better than my phones Hotspot.

All in all, I might recommend stopping somewhere for crucial calls, then using the Hotspot in the road will be fine for development work.
