Since it would take you a little while to find your vehicle and downsize why not car and tent camp on your days off while you plan your takeoff? Based on everything you said it sounds like you know what you want you just are looking for someone to tell you to do it and that there are no risks...

10 years ago we stayed at a Colorado KOA and it rained and rained and was muddy as heck.  Ever since then I have packed my rainboots in my camping gear and they are packed already for our upcoming fulltime.  Wayne doesn't have any yet but they are on the list before we leave.  They wash off easy...

Good to know if you knock down cacti. I guess then covering the roots until a flat bed can haul it off to a nursery. Maybe a nursery would be willing to take it even but with Gov shut down they can't take it without permission as it's Fed. land.

I love my camp list. It does have things to service - a safe trip is more fun than a breakdown any day. I love having ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner and grocery check offs. I don't bring everything on the list but I can quickly scan it before I leave and make sure I brought what I did...

Are you near any campers that look friendly and safe? Campers are the best people and it wouldn't hurt to ask for a bite if they could spare it.

Good timing on the RTR, isn't it over now?

We have a 4x4 truck but we are towing a 7x16 trailer ... I am curious about how that would have worked. I've never had that situation before.

It gets pretty dark out there.  I hope someone did try to save it even if just covering the roots to protect it and informing someone.  It would be hard to replant a cacti that size (ouch plus it's tall and bigger than we are).  The roots are not used to being in the sun so that's why I was...

MrNoodly is not an artist in the field of painting.  Wet canvas means wet paint - project in progress.  There has to be space between the cover and the canvas surface.  I'm thinking using plexiglass type material to make a box lid that sits over the shelf the canvas wood frame can be screwed...

Remember that the tow weight specs on your van include all the weight in your van including occupants and gear. That has to be deducted from what you can tow behind the van. A lot of us think "tow" means tow behind. In the case of specs and weight it means what you bring with. We had a 10'...

We always travel with a hand-crank weather radio. The good thing about the RTR being as close to civilization as it is signals can be had fairly easily and anything coming is likely to be known before hand. Sometimes I worry more about how long it would take me to pack up my site before I...

The fact is, mother nature has her own rules. I'm past 65 and have seen many emergencies over the years and have watched the news of many deaths. Things like The Big Thompson flood here in Colorado took out many a camper as have many sudden water downpours throughout the world. I've been in...

If I was at the RTR I'd be there! Alas, I have to wait for the snow to melt and the windows to be put in.

There looks to be a lot more room and a lot more options then some of the early videos and not as huge a crowd as it looked like it might be.  Well done.  I would still worry about being parked behind a single lane road in case of emergency but alas the weather looks good and there are a lot of...

I needed to read your post this morning.  Last couple days I've been working on the kitchen/pantry supplies and cabinets.  I use my living room to simulate the trailer because it's too cold to work on the build right now and besides, I'm downsizing in the nice warm inside so no guilt for not...

I really like how you control the browning and crispy crunch of the crust. 10 min. at the end uncovered gives me a gentle crisp that keeps the bread slices firm while cutting. 15 min. and it gets a nice crusty brown and real crunch. Yeah, next week I am going to attempt a fruit and veggie...

I forgot my porta potty and table, ..... I started camping regularly at age 17 (50 years ago).  I had a check list that I made a master copy and then had copies made.  I used that list every time I went camping to check what I was bringing or not.  All items were grouped by subject (bedding /...

I cannot believe it is so easy. And so much better than store bought. Once we are camping full time I want to try to figure out how to make it with fire dutch oven style. She also has flour tortillas, which I've made with a different recipe. I like hers because mine uses butter so I'm going...

We (hubby Wayne and myself and 2 50 lb. dogs) will not be heading out until Spring so will not be at the RTR 2019.  Not sure yet of our schedule but hope to meet up periodically next year with one or both of the caravans even if it is only for a few of the stops, just to get to know folks a...

Pretty awesome!
