I hope to meet you, Kenny.  You are the only person I have talked with, so this is a little like wandering into the unknown for me.  :-)  Your walk-through of my electrical options helped me to get "unstuck" and move forward with getting things I needed for car camping.  Much appreciated.    :)

Thank you, Trebor English.  I won't be working while at RTR, and don't plan much computer usage.  I'm still getting used to how this forum works and where responses show up etc.  I'll be repeating myself here from a post I did a few minutes ago.  Sorry if that is something that also pops up in...

Thank you, B and C ... stuck in Houston Howdy, Texan.  I'm from Texas originally, and the twang lives on ... a bit ... even after many years in California  :-) That's wise advice you've given.  I'm coming to RTR to learn and to meet folks, and I certainly don't want to be in my car unless the...

Thanks, Neal.  I ended up getting a BatPower UL listed 120W car charger for MacBook Pro to keep my computer charged.  (I wonder if I should have gotten the Bestek instead? ... ugh ... sooooooo many decision.)  Then a small folding solar panel and solar lights, and battery banks to keep things...

Thank you, MPruet, for your suggestions.  I talked with Seminole Wind about a week ago and he carefully laid out 4 scenarios for likely options.  Given that I haven't camped in decades, and this will be my first time at RTR ... and I'll be in my Honda CRV, I went with the low-fi approach.  :-) ...

---------------------------    Yikes ... I'm sure glad you are around and responding to my questions !  :-)

---------------------------------- *  My laptop is a MacBook Pro 15" and I'm on it a ridiculous amount.  Currently, at least 8 hours a day.  I suspect that will drop significantly at the RTR *  re: car charger for laptop  (I don't know that I'll be running my engine that much while at RTR) ...

--------------------------------- "other small things" ... I'm copying that from some of the other postings I've seen.  :-)  Best current guess - lights, if the new solar lights I bought aren't enough. Possibly an iPad, but currently rarely use it.  I use my computer a lot;  some one asked what...

I just posted this in the Car Camping at 2019RTR but maybe this place is better.  Please forgive this clueless newbie is this is inappropriate. I'm hoping some kind soul out there can help me.  I plan to come to both the WRTR and the RTR this year for the first time and will be camping in my...

I'm hoping some kind soul out there can help me.  I plan to come to both the WRTR and the RTR this year for the first time and will be camping in my 2013 CRV.  So far I have purchased a "camping bundle" which has a tent, sleeping bag and sleeping mat;  also some solar lights that Bob recently...

I'd like to post an individual response to each posting but it's not intuitive how to do that.  So, for now: ---------------------- @Moxadox  I hope you are right about the CRV being a good camping vehicle.   BTW, "Dire Wolfess", just guessing here, but we may have similar musical tastes...

Thanks @travelaround. (It took a minute to figure out how to reply) I figured the WRTR / RTR would be the prime place to learn as much as possible so I'll have an idea about what to buy in the way of wheels. And ... a general sense if this feels like a good path to follow.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to let my adventurous spirit loose to freedom on the road.  It's all new to me.  I haven't camped in decades.  Not sure I'll even like it, but I am totally captivated by all of the cheapRVliving and other nomad-type videos on YouTube.  I have a true passion for being in...
