Last Day of Rally

Classes started way to early this morning at 8am but I forced myself to get up and attend. "Boondocking/Solar - this means camping without any hook-ups, we plan on doing some of this in Quarsite AR this coming winter. Of course that will means we will have to get some solar panels for the caravan but it can wait for now. The rig was order with another compartment for more deep cell batteries. I do like my hook-ups but it is a way to camp any where you want for free and in some beautiful areas. "Choosing Campgrounds/RV Parks"-lots of good info about finding campsites which is very important when you are a gypsy! "Packing Your RV For Full-Timing"-again good info, once we really start to pack it should be interesting as we have alot of stuff. You have to really think about how much things weigh as you can only carry so much weight. This reminds me of when we went camping with our good friends Karen and Stewart. When we rolled in and she seen everything we had she said the only thing missing was a rocking chair on the hood of the truck-I believe she called us the Clampits! Hey we got to have our toys-golf cart, kayaks, motorcycle and corn hole boards! I will be following Mark with a truck and trailer-just can't give up our toys at this point, should be interesting. "Traveling To Alaska By RV-good class but it has changed our mind on going to Alaska with the Caravan. When we do go it will be on a cruse ship or by train. Yeah classes are done with, this afternoon was open rig walk throughs. I didn't open up ours as it was just too new to have a bunch of people walking through but did show it to some of the nice people that we made a connection with. Our dealer RVs For Less brought two units to the Rally and one of them was our floor plan so I didn't feel to bad about not opening up ours. In the evening we had a catered dinner and a 70's Theme party which was fun. Exchanged info with some new friends that we met and hope to see them down the road some day. That is what is so cool about this life style-the people, places and new experiences.
