Re: Big Bend National Park - RV PARKS
In the park, Rio Grande Village has a few full hookup spots. On the west side of the park, the town of Study Butte has several RV campgrounds and numerous restaurants. There are about 125 miles of paved roads within the park. Fuel services at Panther Junction and Rio Grande Village. Convenience stores at Rio Grande Village and the Chisos Basin. Restaurant at Chisos Basin. Super busy at Easter.673Views0likes0CommentsRe: Winch Battery
JimBollman: I sincerely doubt an 18Ah battery has the oomp to drag a full size vehicle up on a trailer. Gdetrailer: Sears Diehards were manufactured by Johnson Controls. Do we know that is no longer the case? Yes, I know many batteries come out of the local region battery manufacturing plant and just have the retailer's sticker applied. (Wouldn't it be nice if there was a source that identified the actual manufacturer.)891Views0likes0CommentsRe: Winch Battery
Good comments thus far. Would appreciate more like MEXICOWANDERED where a specific battery is recommended. The whole point of this discussion is that I don't want to be at a remote location, trying to load up a vehicle, and have my battery **** out. (Squeezing every last minute of life out of a battery is not a goal). If a "jump start" battery is a viable option, that would be good, but I need more confidence that that would work.888Views0likes0Comments
