Oh man, what a bummer! I know the organizers did some local advertising. It's too bad you missed it. I think they'll have it there again next year. How exciting that you're in the planning stage of hitting the road! We did research for about a year before buying our van and then it was a little over 3 years before we went full time. We absolutely love it! Thanks for watching and we hope to see you on the road!

@@grayandgrumpy Wow! I saw your van video. 800 watts sounds healthy. Do you find that the fridge causes you to have to plug in a charger regularly? Watts (get it?) the power consumption on start up and running, if you know? I have a small table top fridge that I used to use in my semi before I retired. Our van is set up to use that or a 54 qt cooler that keeps stuff good for at least a week with the right amount of ice we bring from home. The company's semi had a big enough alternator to handle the fridge but the truck was running most of the time going cross country anyway.

@@SteveAudra We've seen probably all your videos. I can't recall the fridge you have now but I seem to remember some kind of an issue in the past with maybe a different one. I think you went from a 110 volt to a 12 volt, or something like that. If it's not a bother, can you tell me which video has the fridge you have now and how do you like it? I think I have seen all your vids but Ginger doesnt seem to care for watching builds. I like watching builds for two reasons. I get to see other people's ideas and maybe incorporate them. I also get to validate my own build or get ideas to improve it. It's even better when it's a Transit build because it's easier to relate to structures, common issues, been there and done that kinda stuff. Cant wait for Sunday's video.
