Traveling Wednesday

[AlmostThere]

Has anyone used a 12v crock pot?? A trucker friend used one all the time. I used 12v appliances on the boat a lot. They work on the house batteries that are being charged while driving or when connected to shore power.

Here's one by Roadpro at Amazon

That led me to this website.

Interesting and perhaps would interest me if I boondocked.

When Steve was an over the road truck driver, he had a 12 volt refrigerator, coffee pot, TV & pot to cook meals in. He was gone for a week at a time and made out just fine. Now, I reaalize he had LOTS more batteries in his big truck than campers do, but it's still doable.

YAHOO! Happy evening to all!

We made it to Florence South Carolina RV campground today----formerly Florence KOA where I have stayed many times over the years, but never in an RV. I tented here first, then stayed in one of the little cabins by the pond several times----the one in which dogs are allowed----and now in the trailer. It's beautiful here, and much warmer this afternoon than it was than anywhere on the trip so far. We ate lunch at South of the Border----fireworks mecca!

Now that the sun is down, it is very cool again, but we have electric heater heat tonight after using my furnace so long that we ran my two batteries down to nothing. I thought that the furnace ran on AC as well as DC, but I guess not. Now I know to use the electric heater when hooked to power. Batteries bounced back to full charge today, thank heavens.

Kathy just took a hot shower at the rest rooms right across from us----great location! I will force myself to take one in the morning, maybe! I hate showers----only take baths if possible.

Sorry about grandson's kitty, Liz. Always a sad time. Sure hope you feel better tomorrow, too.

We really lucked out getting south as far as we did while the Nor'easter hits the northeast again....with snow this time!

Irmi, my thoughts are with you and Steve as you tackle your house cleanup. And I sure do hope this new Nor'easter misses you...good grief.

Time for bed, with power and a comfy bed! I love having my favorite bed with me every
night, no matter where I might be!

Irmi, so sorry about the flooding and hurricane disaster at your place. Hope everything is quickly back spic and span and dry.

Soos, happy to read you are making good progess and not making the drive alone.
