Is anyone else planning on flying in for the 2020 RTR?
Does anyone have any advice or want to exchange info and ideas on flights, car rentals, and what to bring?
I know the RTR is not confirmed yet, and I'm not going to buy anything until it is, but are there assumed target dates? I am wanting to get estimates on flights and rentals so I know approximately how much money I need to save up.
I am guessing it will be held 7-19 since the Big Tent is the 18-26, and Bob said in the 2018 RTR announcement video that he likes to have the RTR end the same weekend the Big Tent starts.
Is it normal to not have the RTR details this late in the year? When does it normally happen?
So far I have found that flights are about the same into Phoenix and Tuscan but rental cars for 2 weeks are about $300 cheaper in Tuscan. My parents are going to be moved to Tuscan by then so I am happy about that, although it is almost 2 hours further away from Quartzsite.
I have not looked at flights into Yuma or other airports, any suggestions? I guess it depends on if it will be held in CA (or has that been put to rest?).
I am currently living in a house in Charlotte NC and was originally going to set my car up for living in and driving out to the RTR to experience it and learn about my future life. I also wanted to look at other rigs to see what I eventually wanted to move into. I was going to try to get a camp host job at the Big Tent, but until that started I would have to do deliveries (currently work for Postmates and DoorDash), or some other job until May, which would require stealth parking. I would also have to search for and try to set up rig at the same time, all in a strange city!
After paying for mechanical repairs and maintenance to my current car, gas and food to drive the 2k miles, and the possibility of having to drive back to NC if I can't get a job before May, I am looking at several thousand dollars to live in a car for the foreseeable future. I am not 1000% confident my car will even make it there and back, plus every dollar I spend on the car the less dollars I have for a long term rig.
So my current thought is to spend the ~$1k on a flight and rental car for the RTR, figure out what type of rig I want, get a camp host job, and return to Charlotte where I will still have a place to live (I can stay where I am for as long as I want) and I can make money while searching for my perfect rig. Plus that gives me more than 90 days to tie up all the loose ends here!
OK that's it for now, I can go on for almost as long as Bob , [font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]I will update as I [/font][font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]find out more. I am happy to exchange ideas and help if this is your plan too.[/font]
