Hello Fellow Rvers!

[Robi]

Hello Fellow Rvers! &nbsp;I started this journey, living in an RV fulltime (with two dogs), about a year and a half ago. &nbsp;I had some wonderful support from one of the members here as well as others I met on RV group websites.<br /><br />I stuck it out in Slab City this summer to see what it would be like to live in 110-120 degree heat. I also wanted to save money on gas as I have a 33 ft Southwind. (Don't know what my actual MPG is but it is LOW). &nbsp;I used the hose A LOT! &nbsp;hehe Thus WATER was a biggie. &nbsp;Did not worry about water conservation, just kept filling up the tank. &nbsp;I survived! &nbsp;ANd I saved.<br /><br />There is lots to see and do here in Slab City if you are confident with Boondocking. &nbsp;If not, there are plenty of people here that can share their experience and help. &nbsp;There is good, bad and ugly issues, but the good is pretty cool so we stay. &nbsp;The fulltime residents have meetings every Sat trying to come up with solutions to these issues. &nbsp;We try our best and welcome positive ideas/volunteers from Snowbird visitors.<br /><br />I hope to have some sort of van to take off next the summer with pups in tow. &nbsp;Better gas mileage and smaller than the Southwind that I will keep for my fulltime living. I welcome ideas for that endeavor.<br />Cheers!<br />Robi

&nbsp;I think that Robi relies on finding a WiFi source when she posts on here or to her blog. There aren't many available out there in the slabs so here's the link - <a href="http://tumbleweedsandlemonade.blogspot.com/">http://tumbleweedsandlemonade.blogspot.com/</a>

<p>Welcome to the forum Robi!&nbsp; Holy macaroni, Slab City is over 100 degrees?!&nbsp; I guess I won't visit there anytime soon! &nbsp; Even 80 degrees is warm enough for me <img src="/images/boards/smilies/eek.gif" /></p>

Robi has a mobile hotspot for wifi setup there. When I was visiting in July it was 107 at night, but there was a breeze blowing that made it bearable. The wind stopped around 10pm and we went back to sweating uncontrollably. I thought I was prepared for it living through a couple of summers in South Central Texas, I wasn't anywhere ready for how hot it was out there.
