propane prices in The Q For pnichols.
Thanks much for the pricing info link.
I'll probably fill the P-tank here in CA and we can usually make it through the whole trip without refilling anywhere else - 18 gallon tank.
However, we're noticing that the Quartzite nights are chilly now. I hope they start warming up soon - as we do keep the propane furnace on a low setting all night long.
We're going to do other sight-seeing in AZ after Quartzite, but hope to keep the altitudes low so we don't get into freezing nights if we wind up drycamping some of the time. Maybe we'll have to use the 12 volt tank heaters on this trip!
I'll look for a 100-130 watt portable/foldable solar system at Quartzite, but won't buy unless it's a "just right" system: The two panel sections wired in series instead of parallel and an MPPT controller that can be remounted and used back at the RV close to the batteries instead up out at the panels. Still haven't decided on poly or mono ... I'll listen carefully to the hype at Quartzite on this issue ... right now I'm leaning towards mono but am a solar-amateur on this.
