Evie, if you need a ride, PM me. I may be available sometimes. Promise I'm not one of the infamous axe murdered in the forum.
Oh! Please let me know the name of the park! I just might make reservations too!
I have been hoping to come to Q for the last couple of months. I have most of the "bits" for a solar install on my van, but have been dragging my feet in getting it done. My primary concerns in coming for the week for the GTG are these:
1. Being too cold. My van is well insulated, but without hookups I don't have heat. Have looked into the various models of "Buddy" heaters, but they scare me. The space inside my van is so small, there really isn't a stable place that I could put one, the concern being a fire and/or C02.
2. Water. I have two five-gallon jugs I can bring, but I need to bathe every night in order to be comfortable. I have a lot of "phantom itching" that is only quelled when I bathe. I can generally ignore the itching during the day, but at bedtime, when trying to fall asleep, I can't ignore it. So I bathe every night before going to bed. Ten gallons of water for bathing would only last a few days - and then there is cooking and wash-up that also requires water.
3. Sewage. I am not self-contained, but I do have a very nice Thetford porta-potty (that was recommended to me some years back by the ladies on this forum! Thank you!
) but this will only last a day or two. Where to dump the Thetford?
A stay at a park with hook-ups would be
just the ticket to get me moving. Really anxious to get away for a bit, especially after the Christmas debacle that is shaping up for me.
Thanks!
