First day seminar gathering

All of the rain has made the desert green...

and the fire ring a popular spot!

Another day of sunshine! The RTR site is elevated above Quartzsite so we get a view of the town.

The free tarp is a great place to find something that you didn't know you needed.

A few of the interesting homes at the RTR:
Dragonfly (Diane) and her colorful trailer

Linda's vintage fiberglass trailer

Sharon's cute little tear drop

I have been active on this forum for three months or so, but timing to attend the RTR didn't work out this year.

I just wanted to thank everyone who posts pictures here; they provide additional perspective to the van dwelling lifestyle and I can put some names with faces now!

The downside; it's even tougher not being there!

Thanks to all for your extra time and effort!

Thanks for the pics! Now I really do want to attend, hopefully next year.

It's true! I've been a mere three hours away, since November and every plan I've made to get there, and there have been several, has been a failure. So glad you're all having fun. So sorry I've been missing it!!!

With their permission I present a couple of super-cool rigs.

This is Sherry's [if that is not your name, please correct me] van and fabulous cargo trailer.

Here is Scott's totally cool custom travel trailer. The picture doesn't do it justice. Stop by and see it!

BradKW · Jan 10, 2016

yay! more pics more pics!

mockturtle · Jan 10, 2016

On edit: The above van/cargo trailer is Gerry's, not 'Sherry's. [Well, Gerry sounds a lot like Sherry, doesn't it?] :blush:

SaltySeaWitch · Jan 10, 2016

I love the pics!! Thanks!

Optimistic Paranoid · Jan 10, 2016

I'm planning to convert a cargo trailer also. Alas, I'm not there this year to stop by and check it out. If Scott doesn't object, and if you would be willing, I'd love to see some inside shots of it. Thanks.

Regards
John

Looks like a great time. Super pictures, thanks for sharing.

Awesomatic · Jan 11, 2016

You're right! I wish that was available to be there as well.

Optimistic Paranoid - Scott does not object to posting photos of the interior of his trailer however I got sidetracked along the way today and never made it to his place. Photos will be posted as soon as possible by one of us!

A few seminar pictures:

Bob leading a 10:00 seminar

GotSmart's (John) solar upgrade seminar

Some favorite gadget demonstrations

Blars lithium battery seminar

And just for HarmonicaBruce we now have a small stage/bathhouse/pavilion but we couldn't get the grass to grow. Please stop if you come this way before the 19th. There are people here who would love to meet you and the sun is back!

TMG51 · Jan 12, 2016

Ahhh so that's what that stage/bath house sign is about. I never put that together when I saw it. Good one.

Great pics. Thanks for posting. I was at RTR about 3 years ago and that helped to motivate me to do the full time van lifestyle for nearly 2 years now. Miss you guys!
