Anyone from our group towing a Dodge Ram 2500 pickup care to share how well this vehicle tows? I am thinking of setting mine up to tow as my Chevy equinox is trying to lay down on me. It has several miles. Let me what you think.

Just came back from six weeks on the road, half of that time spent in Quartzsite, AZ living off the grid on BLM land. Our 200 watts of solar and 50 gallon holding tank (with infrequent showers) made it possible.

I attended the Quartzsite RV show and Quartzfest and checked out a number of seminars at the show on RV electrical systems and solar setups.

While there we ran into the nomads who were the folks behind the story in the movie Nomadland. Most live full-time in their RVs which are usually converted and modified vans. When the folks found out I was a retired mechanic I went to work on a number of older rigs fixing electrical/charging problems, work I like to do.

Another Orlando HamCation is in the books! It was great to have the RV Service Net, the RV Radio Network, and the FMCA-ARC share some happy-hours and pot-lucks. Many of those in attendance were members in more than one of these clubs and it was a great opportunity to put a face with the voices heard on the nets, and to renew acquaintances with those we see only on such occasions.

Thanks Mark, N0CAL, for representing RV Radio Network in your Red, White and Blue motorhome. Hopefully we will be able to gain a number of West Coast members to the ranks.

Another Quartzfest goes in the books with 570+ amateurs in attendance. My RV was set up just across the drive from the registration tent. The RVRN banner was proudly displayed on the side for all to see. We were received with great interest from the west coast hams. So much so that i ran out of brochures and most of the flyers announcing our up coming rallies. Several current members gathered for a photo.
I had wanted to operate a special event station using the club callsign WE2RV Portable 7, but the RF was just too much. You could say it was an RF rich environment.
I understand there are already new members that from Quartzfest 2023. I sure hope to see more.
73,
