Topic: Question For Rvers

[amsoiltek]

What do you suggest for portable use on a RV?
 Wireless is key, rain gauge not needed just the basics and easy to setup and take down.

Hey Josh, want to keep it under $150. Was looking at the OS WMR90A $129 at Ambient.

Yeah I saw that one but the outside package is kinda large. I was going to take down the pkg and just set it on the bed of my 5th when traveling.

You didn't say if you wanted to hook it up to a computer.  If you don't, here's one for $79.95:

I'd advise getting the radiation shield listed at the bottom of the page, too.  Mount it on a pole, and put it up when ever and where ever you stop.

[amsoiltek]

Yeah no computer interface needed.

Google fine offset as they are the Chineese manufacture of these units, poor rain gauge performance but otherwise good budget unit

It's been quite a while since this thread was active but it's my question as well. I'm wondering if anyone has anything new to add since the last post. I already own 2 Davis stations but need something for the field that is compact, wireless, with wind speed and direction.

All replies are greatly appreciated.

I would think for mobile, quick setup and tear down, an all-in-one type of station would be the way to go like  the Vantage Vue or 5N1 type.

 Careful buying the cheap stations they have more issues. It would be a Vue for me.
