Well I live in So California and I was just out this last weekend at a beach site. We enjoyed our selves but you might enjoy what happened to us and laugh too! Everything was going good got going in a good time so much so that even after stopping to pick up my wife from work at noon we got to the campgrounds and had to wait till 2pm. Got to our spot and everything was cool the beach was about 200 steps from us and we could hear the waves pounding the beach, cool right, but for here it was getting cold as the sun went down. Time to fire up the Generator and start the fire and cook dinner out side (we don't cook inside as my DW does not like the smell where she sleeps). Now this is a NO Hook up place to as the generator goes off all is good. As we head to bed later I fire up the Catalytic heater to take the chill off as it was dropping to 46 that night. Wife learned a lesson in layers on the bed, we sleep on an air mattress and she had put down a sheet and then a flannel sheet but it was still cold, found a old quilt and put that under us and that made all the difference, with 3 blankets on top we were good to go. A bit chilly in the morning but ok, off to start a fire an coffee. About 10am I start the generated to chg the battery for an hour and start our day. All went well till dark, started the generator and all was good but it soon died as I expected since I only had about 5 oz of gas left.
Soon we noticed the lights going dim so off with all but the leds. After dinner we tried in side to light the stove for some hot water, No gas, what was that about, 2 tanks and hardly used so far. Then I remembered my friend saying he felt heat on as it was sitting in my drive way and went to turn it off, just did not think that it may have fun for days before that. So now we site with no electricity and no propane, water but no pump. Luckily I had some bottled water for the toilet. Also since no propane no Refrigerator so we did quickly move everything to the freezer. So before our next trip in Jan 2016 I have to fill both tanks of propane and ck the battery.
Oh by the way it was only 50 over night the second night so it was not that bad and 70 during the day. By the way were in El Nino? Not much rain here yet.
So yes some of us are still camping and there was one other Hybrid camper there.
