Local Walmart/Home Depot

[mike_brez]

Saw this when I went to the Depot today





Then this one has been on the other side of the parking lot on the Walmart side for over three months now.

Thats awesome!! A solar awning!! Sure am glad I can't see it from my house!! We had a few at our local Wal Mart,, one even pulled over the parking lot drain and changed his oil!! Well at least he's doin PM!! Only bummer is,, they don't have slide outs,, kinda nice when they take up a few spaces with slide outs and all there junk!!

I got pulled over on a California freeway because my freshwater Overflow was dripping!! I filled at home until water ran out from underneath (overflow), got on the freeway and I guess it was dripping some!! LIGHTS AND SIREN!!
CHP officer was great about it!! He came up as I was getting out of my truck (Do Not EVER do that) hand on his gun told me to Stop and get back in my vehicle!!! I complied and apologized!!
Told me my trailer was leaking an unknown liquid!! Started giving vehicle code violations and I interrupted him (Do not EVER do that)!!
He orders me out of my truck (Vehicle) as he refereed to it!!
We stepped back to the middle of my trailer and there was a small wet patch well in front of the forward axle!!

I went thru a complete explanation of my holding and fresh water tank lay out!
Showed him the roof vents for the black and grey tanks at the rear and then showed him the label on the Fresh Water drain valve located at the wet spot!!
He then asked where I was headed, if I had reservations,did I have proof of reservations (I did), did I have any firearms,bombs or anything illegal in my trailer!! Told him no (glad he didn't ask about my truck)! He then told me to get that leak fixed once I got to my destination! I told him i would fill the toilet bowl a few times and that should fix it!!
He then told me that if I returned thru this same area that he would be looking for me!! I thanked him for his vigilance and he let me go about my journey!!
Oh well,, Good luck with your urban campers!!

Just so you know. There are two things in Taxifornia that you can expel on the road. One is fresh water and the other is chicken feathers.

This ain't no joke

Could be on their way to Burning Man.

It was a she I asked if it was ok to snap pics. Wish I had more time to BS with her. The one with the leak is dripping on the gray side at a 3 inch clamp.

nice way to haul your solar panels 🙂
the other one, dripping waste tank, is not cool, but it's not the first time I've seen that trick and sometimes, they don't even try to hide it. 😞

SHE

We had a Class A DP with big time delamination, missing basement door, etc, sitting in our local Wally World, partially blocking a lane, for a while. It is gone, and No RV Parking signs have been erected.

Looks like the solar panels swing up on a hinge and then can be used as a awning.

She can even run a AC with her solar power And 8 batteries

She's a free spirit and knows more about electrical things than many men. The plumbing leak was not on her class C.

[azrving]

lol. She may have a mig welder or plasma cutter on board. I give her all the credit in the world and would help her out with anything I could because shes TRYING. 🙂

The plumbing leak looks like it's along the lines of "If it just seeps a little and evaporates" we wont have to empty the tanks. 🙂

I say this stuff jokingly but some of the most friendly and nicest people I have met have not been well off. The poorest couple I ever ran into were living in a tent and 1980's mini van. Others in the area who belong to a very large rv group wouldn't lower themselves to even talk to them but we did. Those people could tell you everywhere to find a deal or get something for free. They brought us fruit and vegetables that were given to them. Another guy was telling us where to go to churches in the area for free meals. I thanked him but didn't think it appropriate to pull up to the church in a $48,000 truck. 🙂

Not my idea of C'ing da US of A.

Typical "down and out" homeless YouTuber. But, interesting solar panel awning setup!

First RV...I came across when thinking solar couple months ago, not my cup of tea but interesting just the same.

Second RV...what is going on with plumbing near dump handles?

[2oldman]

Unless they have something to do with Pandas, they spelled Pandemonium wrong. But I love the solar setup.

Yes, they're abusing a privilege.
