b,
Excellent list above!
You think the way I do ... even though we don't camp off-grid as long as you do. However, once we're out there (rockhounding), we don't want to have issues to deal with that aren't covered by some form of redundancy ... ESPECIALLY ... we don't want to have to cut a trip short because some(dumb) thing failed.
I would like your cut on something - what's up with those composting toilets, anyway? For instance:
- How long before you "empty" them?
- How do you empty them?
- Do they smell?
- Where do you empty them?
- What's their disadvantage(s)?
- Why don't all RV's nowadays use them if they have so many advantages?
- Etc.?
P.S. - Regarding use of an iPad out in the middle of nowhere ... how do you get amplified signals into them from a cellular band roof antenna that feeds a 12 volt cellular band amplifier inside the coach? (I can do this with my 12 volt powered laptop.)
