Gage, Have you researched the possibility of operating your machine off a 12V battery?
Jon & Lyn's 2014 trip to California to attend the International Redwood Gathering of Teardrops, including visits to many national parks and the Evart Hammered Dulcimer Funfest.

For $30. I was able to buy an adaptor from the manufacturer of my CPAP machine that allows me to use it for at least 3 nights on a 35amp AGM battery before recharging.
You may be able to also.

the IRG might be our only trip to California in 2016????

BTW......
It is not TOTALLY dry camping as there are faucets located throughout the park, and a large sink with hot water in the cookshack. But there are ONLY vault toilets on-site. Swimmer's Delight, the sister campground nearby, has a very limited amount of RV sites with electrical hook-ups, about 6 in all. There is a main bathroom there with flush toilets and only 2 coin operated showers for that campground, which we are able to use.
Hope to see you folks again, and LAUREN, if you make the haul, I will personally pay for your registration and T-shirt (professional courtesy as an educator coming from the East)
cuz I want to see your build and meet you in person!!
ttfn, TDN xoxo
You are a doll to even offer! It is a matter of finding someone to give up two+ weeks to travel with me though. I will start planning and looking into places to stop along the way. I have gone the northern route before and hit up Yellowstone and South Dakota. (Thanks to whomever shared Jon's trip earlier by the way) Maybe you guys can keep an eye out for me if you see anyone possibly coming from the East. I really want to make it out to meet everyone AND to see the redwoods!! As a science teacher, I HAVE to see the redwoods I will keep checking back here, but am looking forward to the news in January!

As Grant did not want to lay claim to "The Damp Gathering" I just might claim it. BUT I will hold it in a desert where there are no campgrounds.
No running water ( unless you run around with your supply), no tables, no camp sights, no showers unless it rains, no flush toilets unless it rains very hard. I have seen it flush a few times. Something that is tremendous to see but also something you do not want to happen. And something that can not be planned upon.
My wife and I sat down at the table last night and began our brainstorming session for what the upcoming IRG will be like.
We are really looking forward to this one as it will be OUR final version!!
Here are some of the things we discussed and decided upon:
1. I am going to do T-shirts again this year for those who wish to purchase them
2. There WILL be a deep pit BBQ on Thursday
3. We are currently planning to open on a Wednesday and run the event through Monday morning
4. If the drought persists, we may have to limit the total amount of people to 200
5. The registration form will be on the Pamplin Grove website after the first business day of the New Year
6. On the form we'd like to have your contact phone number(s) as well as the Emergency Contact #/person
7. Enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelop with form aka (SASE)
8. We are holding the cost of the event the same: $50.00 per registration with one trailer/one vehicle
9. We are NOT going to do a Teardrop Derby this time
10. The raffle is on, and you may contribute items for it
