    Anyone still in the Quartzsite/Ehrenberg area?

    More specifically, are there any of our vandweller mechanic types still around? I need my front brakes done and a rotor replaced. Preferably someone that won't mind letting me help so I know how to do it myself next time. :) I have the parts already and cash to pay.  You can message me here, my...

    free water in Quartzsite?

    Oh and the .25/5 gallon water tastes fine. It just has more minerals in it than the filtered water.

    plunger style manual clothes washer

    Honestly, unless you are near a water source it just isn't worth it washing your clothes by hand. I have a homemade plunger thingy that I haven't used in more than a year and will probably trash out.   A year ago I wintered in SC. One of the FS campgrounds I was at had water spigots around and I...

    Ehrenburg ??

    hmm. So why when I posted the map did it show up as a link and when you posted it, the map showed? (Don't answer that, it was a rhetorical question)

    Ehrenburg ??

    This is the map from Bob's Thanksgiving post. Take the East frontage road exit on the roundabout. I think there are still some colored streamers on the post where you take the left. http://images.cheaprvliving.com/ehrenberg-map-new.jpg

    Freezer and cool chest

    Almost There: My freezer takes up a LOT of room, you may want to look at a fridge/freezer combo like this: http://goo.gl/3qQ1A7 . If this had been available when I bought my freezer, I would have gotten this instead. Ice cream is essential!:heart:

    Freezer and cool chest

    I have an 86qt Edgestar, it runs on both 110 or 12v. Been running it 24/7 for 18 months and haven't had any problems with it. I don't believe it takes any more energy to maintain 0 degrees than it does to maintain 20 degrees. I have 330W of solar power charging 3 - 12v 114AH el cheapo walmart...

    What did you, yourself, Repair recently?

    Don't know if it counts but I hooked up a 20watt solar panel to trickle charge my starting battery so I can use it to keep my phone/kindle/mifi charged and listen to the radio. Also replaced a cracked leaking propane line this week. Got a working stove and furnace, I'm ready for colder weather now!

    How Much Data Do You Use for Internet?

    I used HughesNet for 3 years in my S&B. I wouldn't wouldn't wish their service on my worst enemy. When you are using Netflix or Hulu or even youtube, make sure you are not viewing in HD. Changing the resolution (or quality) to 480p or even 360p will cut your data usage in half or more. To the...

    I need electricity for a small heater (its cold)~ prefer solar

    I agree with Bob. Renting a space for the few coldest months was a valid suggestion. Making that suggestion while mocking other peoples suggestions made the whole post unacceptable.
