Wow, I'm getting even more great info that I'd dreamed. We thought we were so tricky and smart with the emergency blankets ;) Hehe. Thanks for the tip on the bubble foil stuff, I'll definitely invest in that. The cooler we can get the RV in the first place, the less I need to run the geni, and that ...

....as long as we can all agree that these generators, independantly owned and operated or communal, will not be running 24/7 over near my camp, right? Agreed. We only run it for the peak temperature time in the afternoon, and when we need it for something in particular (like me having a temperatur...

Hahaha! Thanks, Captain Goddammit. :) I do rather enjoy my other electrical amenities, and the lights....oh yes, the lights.... I have decided to take the advice given and simply bring a good supply of extra fuel. Thank you all very much. I realize you're tied into your local community, so this may...

Yep, coming in on Thursday. My project this year is the Art Yard, a place to paint or draw, just be silly with art. I'll be between chefdaddy's canoe club and the potties. Whewhoo!

Sweet! We're coming in Thursday afternoon/evening. See ya soon!

Hugs,

And I would argue further, that as a group here our efforts to discourage helpless dependency and encourage intelligent preparedness are an asset to Black Rock City.

You may be surprised to know that I actually agree with you wholeheartedly on that point.

OMG, you guys I'm really sorry I missed all this last night! This has been my first chance to really read all the replies, and I'm super embarrassed to admit that I didn't realize there were four pages of them! :oops: Wow, you have given me some great perspective and advice. I admit, I should have i...

Hello Lucky!

Ok, I'll tell you, but you asked, ok? I suffer from severe hot flashes and night sweats. I bring cold packs to put in the freezer to use when necessary. Temperature can become quite an issue for me. That's all I'm willing to say about that.

Thank you very much, Eric. Your information is very helpful. I would not want to be caught plugging in somewhere where I was not allowed to do so. :shock: Our RV generator is fine, is just that we inherited this RV from my husband's parents who both died this year, and we are unfamiliar with it. We ...

I bow to your wisdom. Perhaps my introduction and words should have been chosen more carefully.

Thank you for what you have taught me.

Listen, I think we've gotten off on the wrong foot, here. Please do not assume that I am a complete newb at this, or that I would not volunteer anyway (I DO, I do it for the regional burn here, too, and for nothing in return--I don't even accept the volunteer discount for the ticket that they offer....

I have a generator in the RV. I am concerned that we will not have enough fuel for the time frame, so I'm looking for backup alternatives.

Thanks for your rueful disdain.

Thank you all!!! I appreciate the info. I have located a group from my hometown that has a setup, and has openings they are willing to share/sell for a payment of dues, willingness to volunteer, and a share of the final power cost split up evenly. (I am not an unknown burner to this crowd, and they ...

ok. Well, in my first year at the Burn we camped with a camp based in utah that brought a large generator. You paid a fee to camp with them, and they provided electrical hookups. I thought there would be more camps like that. Seems weird I would luck into the only one in BRC my first year. Anyway, t...

I'd like to camp somewhere where I can plug in my RV. I am willing to pay, obviously, to join such a camp. I am also willing to volunteer in the camp to help out. Can anyone point me in the right direction to where to look for such a thing? I need a camp with power and space for a 28' motorhome. Tha...
