120, 108, & 4 will all be closed until May (hopefully) so getting over the Sierra is problematic. Highway 1 is a must do lifetime bucket list item but it is not a quick road at all. 101 isn't bad but 5 or 99 is fastest if more boring. So I would say Oakland first since you'll be on 80 or 50...

What time of year? It makes a difference. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

This is the one I am thinking about getting. http://www.busdepot.com/details/awning/ I really like the crowned top instead of just hanging a tarp out there. But I am finding that most of my trips I don't sit still long enough to warrant putting up anything.

Missing Link - what is the red tarp over the clam. Looks like it has cross poles over the top. I am looking for something like that for my "back porch".

jimjxsn Check with ATC about a Reno delivery. They will take it there (for a fee I believe) which saves you big time in California Sales tax. If you are not a California resident you can get away with it. But they will know the details.

Conditional maybe based on dates and location. Sounds like fun!

If you place it over the bed it cannot be used when the lid is lowered. But it is delightful to adjust without getting out of bed. Why not two?

The worst is behind you. Relax and enjoy it now.

Definitely a journal. I can feel the brain cells dying daily and want something to refresh my memory when I can no longer get out there. But I do like the idea of keeping a calendar in the rig, too. Simpler to check. And I do a blog after most trips, also. All part of the experience.

Well, my original goal of informing people who might not know about the card to get theirs ASAP to maximize cost efficiency has been met. I agree with the many people who say it is a bargain even at the $80 (or going rate in the future). Our public lands are a great treasure and deserve all the...

ETAV8R - thanks for the heads up on Amazon pricing. I have been wanting one, but our hardware store is charging +$100. So I will be getting a belated Christmas present for myself.

Some of us are very disappointed we aren't old enough yet. That is the first time THAT has happened. Well, maybe waiting for 21 was hard, too.

So the House and Senate are getting set to raise the price of our beloved Geezer card ( from $10 to $80, or whatever the yearly rate for the Interagency Pass is in the future). Not sure if they will listen to input from constituents or not, but it is worth a shot...

Remember you don't need room for ice. Also things like drinks can be added as you use (at some cost to efficiency) which frees up space. I think you are aiming too big. Remember it also takes up precious space. Smaller is sometimes better. Sent from my iPhone using Wander The West

I use 1 gallon water jugs to contain different items because that was what fit in mine. Go to my site in the sig line and look at the Dometic fridge topic. Sent from my iPhone using Wander The West

Hebegebe and Longhorn1 are right. I wondered what they were talking about so I checked this thread with my phone and it does route to entirely different posts. Very odd. I use Tapatalk app for WTW viewing.

Bookmarked this to peruse at leisure. Love your style and technique. Thanks for putting it all in one place.

As I pack for a little winter jaunt, I realized I need to pack more books, etc. The days are mighty short and chilly, so I retreat into the camper earlier than in the summer. So you must have some form of entertainment or you will go stir crazy. Not quite the direction of the post, but my two...

I have a Dometic 40L. When I noticed that 4 gallon water bottles fit perfectly, I now use them with the tops cut off leaving the handle on to organize my cold food storage. No wasted space at all and I can easily find what I need. One for drinks, one for lunch stuff, etc. I think they are...

I rely on my phone to tell me what day it is for campground tags.

Sounds like you are leaving with a good plan for reintegration if necessary. Most people who make these life changes either love it and soar, or find that they hate it, but learn something from the experience. It think you have a unique history that will allow you to travel in the adventurous...

Bill D - I don't think you are going to get answers to your questions. Bombsight is just posting a you-tube he found, he is not the owner of the rig. But condensation is an ongoing concern here. Here are some previous threads...

I saw an old fleet that carried the jacks in a parallel position by one bolt. When needed he just unlatched them from the C shaped holder and bolted the second bolt in place.

Perhaps that’s what I learned on this trip: to take one step at a time, not to give credence to the future unknowns, and watch for cairns – the markers of where others have gone and suggested a reasonable path. There's your epiphany. That sounds like a great formula for making a great life...

For resale value alone I can't imagine not getting the slide bed.
