See if this is right. 1800 watts is 15 amps @120 volts AC x 2 hours = 30 AH's + losses. Minimum 5% loss x 2 conversions = 33AH's

What happens after 2 hours? Do you just restart?

Check out the caravan section of this forum and the website. There are 4 caravans running for the next 3 months and beyond that will be following the seasons to cooler / higher elevations as things heat up. One of them is for just women if you are interested. Somewhere between 20-50 campers...

I have been looking at these tools trucks, they have some very nice features, but I'm not sure they are worth the extra money. They are aluminum body, already insulated, at least 1 AC unit, often 2, central heating, generator with big battery bank, and a lift gate in the back. (regular doors in...

I'm sure that within a group of 5-10,000 people, there will be folks that appreciate what you offer. Enjoy your RTR. I almost said, what a shocking offer, but then decided against it.

Thank you for being the downside, some people would  consider that the "sky is falling " person, the nervous Nelly, the glass is half full person, but no I see it as a public service. Thank you

Some people can see the down side to anything, must be a gift.

Warming up next week, just in time for the RTR. https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/USAZ0180:1:US

Everyone is welcome regardless of how you get there or how you camp. I'll be in a tent as well. Bring a sledge hammer for our tent stakes.

Here you go, 250 watt, more than enough to heat a...

The best solutions for heat that I've seen is a 12v electric blanket / mattress pad and / or 12v ceramic heater. It's more efficient to use 12v than an inverter and 120ac. The car will start less often using electric and if you engage the emergency brake, the car will move less when it starts...

What are your thought on this second entrance / Exit. I think it could help a lot of traffic in that single track lane in. It's approximately 1 mile past the RTR entrance on Mitchell Mine road. 

At the basics you can park overnight at many interstate rest stops. The link below gives the rules for each state. Next there is the free camping page, linked below. Then there is simply doing a google search for "camping" in the areas along your...

Sounds like NM is impassable, maybe go completely around that roadblock state. Are NM residents in a constant traffic jamb?

I know if Toyota made a hybrid camper van that used the same technologies that are in the Prius, I'd be all over it. The Prius is a marvelous piece of engineering, always makes the top ten most reliable car list, 50+ mpg, built in electric generator, extremely low maintenance. The main traction...

It will not affect the RTR or camping on BLM land except that there will be no permit to pick up. They will close the LTVL areas to new people, but then again there will be no one to tell you no. The garbage pick-up in those areas may stop or may not if that service was privatized. Any other...

This is a good idea, you could make that decision the day of the drive. Also it looks like going south Santa Rosa on 54 is about an hour faster. According to google maps anyway.

The route I posted above avoids those mountains, but adds distance.  I'm going to wait and see, maybe call the NM DOT a couple days in advance and see what they say about the forecast.

Bob asked us not to camp in the area the Escapees use, but I heard they will not be in that location this year. Can anyone confirm this? That would be a good place for big rigs.

For those of us that may want to camp farther away from the crowd or just interested here is the boundary for the wash. It's the first result in this google search. It's a PDF file and Scaddan wash is in the upper right...
