<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I got a PM from Ann, but when I tried replying to it, I got an error mssg from hotmail saying 'delivery failure'. I'll post my reply here and hope that she reads it!<br><br>Hi Ann:</span><br></span> </span><br><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Thanks for your message and the great ideas!</span></span><br><br><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">I can't take the back seats out of my vehicle, but they do fold forward with a 60/40 split, to a flat surface, and I should be able to sleep easily on the "60" side with no problem. The other back seat will be my place to store my Luggable Loo, laptop, and personal items, that I would use daily. My car is a Toyota Highlander, which is a full size SUV, so I'll have lots of storage room. The only problem is it's a very heavy vehicle, so the gas mileage isn't what a smaller car would get. It IS very comfortable to drive though, which is a definite must for me.</span></span><br><br><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">As far as sleeping bags, some people have told me to just bring sheets and a comforter to save money. I'll take a look at the sleeping bags though, now that you've told me what to look for.</span></span><br><br><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">I've got one day assigned in my calendar, for searching my condo for what I can take with me from home as far as utensils, plate, cup, bowl, etc. I don't have any unbreakable dishes, so may have to just buy one of each in melamine, plastic, or enamel.</span></span><br><br><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">One of the other ladies suggested a <a href="

I also signed up for alerts for a Luggable Loo, sleeping pad by Roots, a headlamp, and a folding camp table.</span></span><br><br><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">I just remembered that I have a folding cooler in the back of my car! One less thing I'll have to buy.</span></span><br><br><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">I've traveled all over parts of the world alone, and I love it too! This will be my first camping type trip since I was a little kid, but of course back then I didn't have to worry about the logistics, I just had fun. All of this boondocking stuff is totally new to me. A few months ago I would never have dreamed of sleeping in my car for a month and a half, LOL. My daughter is concerned about me doing this, so I have to make sure I address all of her concerns so she'll be more comfortable with my decision to take off on my wild adventure.</span></span><br><br><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">I read in one of the product reviews about sleeping mats, that someone took a yoga mat to put under it for added insulation and comfort. I have one that folds flat, so that would be perfect to take in addition to the new sleeping pad. I'm all about comfort.</span></span><br><br><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">As far as running my CPAP machine, I've been warned against using the car battery to run it. The problem is that once I get to Quartzite I won't be driving enough to recharge the battery. I'm looking into a portable power inverter, to see if that would work, but I can't remember where I saw the one I was looking at! I found one online on the <a href="

It's $59.99, and has 3 or 4 USB ports in it, that let you charge multiple items at once. </span></span><br><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>
