    2018 RTR

    I had a lovely time. My neighbor did comment she found some trash near her rig once.... someone had dropped a cigarette butt!!! That’s it .... the entire time, my local camp found one cigarette butt in two weeks. (Yes, we picked it up and disposed of it). No one was parked on top of me. Yes...

    Official DATES for RTR 2018: Rules and Maps

    Yes, the few minutes I spent talking to him before he took a dislike to someone else asking him to turn it down, he was pleasant .... and his very aggressively ACTING dogs are sooper sweet animals, when you actually go up to him. I’m not suggesting he’s the devil incarnate by any means. Just...

    Official DATES for RTR 2018: Rules and Maps

    I think a solution for next year would be to change the label of the areas .... I picked [music] because I have to use a generator, and I figured that generator use would be more acceptable in this area. I made sure it was running yesterday while people started parking close to me so that they...

    Official DATES for RTR 2018: Rules and Maps

    Even the random ones with monkeys?  :D I am directly across from this guy. His music is so loud I can hear it over my TV inside my rig at (nearly) 9.30pm I won’t call the Sheriff as I don’t want to taint the RTR’s reputation when all eyes are looking this way. Honestly, I could of tolerated...

    Women Only Forum: RTR - who’s going?

    So I’m a full time, early 40’s, and heading to the RTR this year for the first time. While everything I read just says “turn up, park, it will be cool”, I’d really appreciate a buddy or two who either knows the roaps or wants to figure it out together. I’m noisy, I need to run a generator...

    Women Only: Travel together to RTR via I-10? [split from W-RTR]

    I’m in Austin right now, I’ll be setting off from here probably around the 2nd - 4th. I’ll take it slow, 3-4 hrs a day (couple of hundred miles a day), and just taking long breaks in rest stops / truck stops along the way. On the highway I’m a 60 / 65 mph driver as I tow a lot of weight. Its...

    Women Only: Packing Heat - Yay or Nay?

    I love to shoot, and enjoy the sport of range shooting and would actually like to have a gun in my rig. Currently my biggest drawback is the storage & safety. RVs are not that secure, if someone was so inclined it’s very very easy to break in and it’s not uncommon for me to leave my door open...

    Heh I was at SXSW in March 2015 too.  I didn't really get to see any of Austin as I was working, hence the desire to go back. I'm currently thinking of leaving Sunday, subject to nothing going wrong. *fingers crossed*

    I'm in Northern Illinois, so not too close Detroit but its possible we may hit some of the same roads.  I'll be heading to Dallas as early as Saturday but as late as next Friday (or beyond). My trip will take me to St Louis, Springfield Missouri then skimming past Tulsa Oklahoma as I head south...

    Been full time for about a year, hoping to get to the 2018 RTR

    I envy the van dwellers, I ended up going bigger after year one (but I still have to work in my rig, and it just wasn’t feasible in 19 feet). I have a fantasy of building out my own box van one day, but for right now I need more. It’s getting blooming cold up north! I’m desperately trying to...

    I’ve met some amazing women on the road so far, and I’m very excited to see everyone at the RTR. I get the impression it’s a very safe environment at the RTR. Look forward to seeing you (I’ll be the short English woman with Yorkies ::)

    Thank you! The women’s RTR is actually what got me to finally sign up to forum.  Looking forward to it.

    Hi Pat, and thank you for the welcome. I’ll keep an eye out for you and introduce myself. (I’m terrible with names but I’m good with visual clues so I’ll remember the rig) No idea where I’ll be parked, probably near the noisy generator people as that’s how I’m currently getting my power and I...

    Thank you for the welcome. Don’t ya know you should never ask a lady her real age  :D (I’m really 43, but I assure you I’m very immature :P ) I’m always open to meeting new folk so I’m excited about the RTR, I feel I’ve learnt so much from Bobs videos and that this will be a great learning...

    Well the title pretty much tells you everything. Hi, I'm Samantha, I'm a 43 yrs old British woman living here in the USA in a 36 foot fifth wheel. I joined today because I'm considering going to the 2018 RTR and wanted to learn as much as I can before I arrive. I'm currently in Illinois, but...

    A Women's RTR!

    I'm hoping to come to the RTR (first time) and would seriously consider staying a few days longer for this.
