It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform you all that highsesertranger, aka HDR or simply my friend Mike passed away today from Lou Gehrig's disease. I met Mike at the 2017 RTR and was lucky enough to spend the next three with him. To know him here you would think that he was gruff. He...

I have often seen it mentioned that people use Eternalbond to mount flexable panels to a roof. I never paid attention because I don't like flex panels. They don't last, they don't produce the same as the ridged panels and they cost more. Today I was removing five 150 watt flex panels taped down...

I have some batteries that I have I have replaced in installs that might benefit someone in need. I am in the Flagstaff area.  These are for pickup only. I really can't load or install them right now. The first set are a pair of year old or so Interstate grp 24 marine batteries that saw very...

As our community grows out of popularity, financial need and the pandemic, our actions are causing the amount of places we can use to be reduced. i know not all of what has happened has been done by those on this board, on the road or even full timing. Then again, some of it is.   We are doing a...

Need your meds, dental work or another medical appointment down in Algodones? I did and have been waiting for the boarder to reopen. Last week I found out that it never closed for essentials and a few of us visited yesterday.

For those of you with pets you may want to find out what plants in a given area are poisonous. My ignorance of it has landed Max the wonder puppy in the hospital with less than a 50% chance of surviving. He got a hold of some Oleander yesterday and barfed all through the night before I could get...

At 2 AM a woman from my camp knocks on the door to tell me that there is a fire burning not far from us. Sure enough the camp to the east of us built a pretty good sized fire and then went to bed. It is big and hot enough to spit embers and it is on the edge of a dry grassy area. Should it start...

With the recent 100 degree heat I was running the little A/C from as early as 8:30 in the morning until 5 in the evening off of the solar system and batteries. After 5 the solar was not able to run it so I either switched to the generator or simply shut down allowing the solar to get something...

Does anyone know the price of propane in Quartzsite and surrounding areas? Thanks

I am in the process of replacing my Redpocket $60 a year plan on a Sprint phone that gives you 100 minutes/100 text and 500 Mb of data a month to their $279 a year plan with unlimited talk and text plus 10 gigs of data a month on whichever network works for your phone. In my case I will be...

Today Bob and I set up two 200 watt portables, one with a ECO-worthy 20a MPPT ($97 on their site, $85 on ebay), the other with a Solar30 PWM controller ($25). Both have displays so no remote meters or fancy dongles needed. While it wasn't the extended time lapse test I had hoped for, it did...

Normally I only post hands on reviews of products and services, however I have data coming out the ying yang so I am just passing these deals on. Both are based on older ipad deals being resold by DRWireless. The first is the sim and account only for $119. The second is Sim, account and a...

As I sit here waiting for the solar to finish up a absorb cycle so that I can run a equalization cycle I am wondering where the power is going especially over night. I put my booster and Mobley on a USB brick plugged into a killawatt to see it average .2 amps at 120v or roughly 2 amps at 12v...

I know many of you are looking for the deals on solar, craigslist is how I find mine. Here are some of the deals in the general area after searching solar/ title only. Some are a drive but the deal may be worth it. New Miasole 130 Watt Solar Panel - $60 (Glendale)...

I arrived in Quartzsite last night for a brief stop over before I find a quiet spot. I did not set up the booster but I did turn on all of the hotspots to see who got which signals. AT&T and Verizon are strong here as they were last year, The big difference is Sprint and T-Mobile. Sprint was 3G...

This is a open invite to any forum members in the Ehrenberg area to come enjoy a Thanksgiving pot luck with us. Please bring a dish, a chair and whatever you feel like drinking. There will be signs directing you back to where we are. Right now I have four of the 6 solar ovens cooking rolls...

Wandering duck, the wonder twin puppies (both named Max) and I made it to Ehrenberg tonight. We have to get water and such in the morning so we came in just far enough as to start seeing other rigs for the night. Tomorrow we will find my group and start planning Thanksgiving dinner.

I replaced my window A/C with the more efficient version that pulls 410w. It was suppose to be here the 18th and even said out for delivery by 8 PM but never showed. It said that the 19th and the 20th too with the same result so I call to set it up for a pick up. That's when they told me they...

I have mentioned RedPocket in several other threads and having recently ordered and received the starter kit a few days ago I thought I'd make it a thread on it's own. There are two sources of the RedPocket service. First is their website, the second is ebay which has the better deals. Their...

I wanted to start a thread listing what we all find as cellular deals that come and go. Please post if the deal you find has expired or changed so that people are not planning on it if it's not there. I will start with my current favorites. The Verizon 3G unlimited flashed hotspots on ebay...
