Speaking of which... for anyone newer around here you'll notice some people have "podders Helping podders - pHp" by their name. They have volunteered to provide assistance to podders on the road - some will help get help if needed, or pointers for their area, or even offer up their camp driveway for a night or two. Personally I offer up all three. Look for the pHp sub-forum for a list of everyone and their locations.

Yep. On the Airstream side it's called "Courtesy Parking". We met a couple nice people that way. We used to live right on the bikecentennial route, which became the TransAmerica Bike Trail, and we had touring bicyclists camping in our yard quite a few times.

taking first trip since i put in the fuse/relay for charging(about a month ago); I understand all the pros/cons of traveling battery vs gas; but 1 question; I thought the the charging system off the tv only operates/works when in run position, therefore would not wear down tv battery when stopped; and if fridge is really cooled down, the pod battery would hardly wear down, and what little it did would recharge upon start up and rolling down the road; so why switch around until your at your base? just curious. going dry camping, have plenty of battery for 4 days, plan on gas while base camping............

Depends on how your particular charging system is set up on the TV. Some are litteraly nothing more than a fused lead from the battery.. But if you are hooked up to a TV with a factory tow package, as far as I know, it will protect the TV's battery through the relay.
We stay on 12v the whole pull. We run dual batteries, and my playing around with the multimeter tells me that with a pre-cooled fridge, we can sit overnight no problem. So a quick trip into Wendy's for some frosty action is going to be OK.
YMMV, as they say. Or, your YEMV in this case. (Electrons)
