Re: Traveling in a group— How do you handle it?
When I'm traveling with a group, we just meet up occasionally. Especially before it's time to leave pavement and find camp. We have cell phones if we need to get a hold of each other. Usually the plan is "I'll catch up at the Walmart in Ridgecrest." Or "we'll meet up at the big pull out at mile marker 25." With different rigs, different needs for bathroom breaks, different stuff we forgot to buy at the store... Trying to caravan is way too frustrating.641Views0likes0CommentsRe: No Warranty on your RV? Don't buy new?
I bought new because I could get it set up exactly the way I wanted. Solar instead of a television. 12 volt vent fans. Larger grey tank. Yes, I know I could have bought a used Nash and done modifications. But I work full time and definitely don't need another thing to tinker with. I used the snot out of the trailer that first year, and never did need any repairs. Since then, repairs have been minor things my independant repair shop handles quickly.743Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anybody else have trouble packing for camping
My travel trailer has it's own set of stuff. Old towels and bedding that still have some use. A pair of sneakers and flip flops. A sleeping bag. Toothbrush, hair brush, hair ties, and basic toiletries stay out there. Same with pots, pans, and melamine dishes. When I'm heading out, I just pack food and clothes, hitch, and go. I'll make a stop at Fred Meyer on the way out of town if I need anything. Part of the point of having the trailer is that it stays basically ready to go. An hour and a half, and I'm on the road.547Views0likes0CommentsRe: Best route from Merced Ca to Mesa Az

If you just want an overnight parking place, the junction at 58 and 395 has a big parking lot just east of the light on the right. we've stayed there, but it's busy with trucks.. and we've stayed at Barstow at the Flying J which is a mile south of the I 15 and 58 junction.
