Carl Well all they have to say is "we are anxious to get home" not we can't find a campground. I understand they are trying to conserve money so offered suggestions.

We are ready to head to El Paso in the morning. The old GPS let out the smoke so we picked up the highly recommend Rand McNally trucker GPS. We will find out tomorrow how it works. All fluid levels check out perfectly and haven't used one drop since we left home. At this point we are not worrying about the generator. We are more worry about being tied up in a repair shop a few days or longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted January 23, 2017 Ray. Stay safe, long and boring road to El Paso! Also, there is a major winter storm, that should nail you someplace around El Paso. Black Ice is not your friend, nor high wind! Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted January 23, 2017 Puff, return the Rand McNally GPS if you can. If you want one that bad Ill give you mine, but caution its about as useless as......a wheel chock for guidance. To make matters worse the companies support is horrible. Maybe....maybe you will be the 1% that it actually works correctly for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted January 23, 2017 I still like COPilot It works realey well many customizable features and you download maps on wifi so you don't use data. I have it on phones and on tablet. The tablet (10") is much bigger than the stand alone gps systems. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to call the rv park in the morning about late check in just in case. going to be a long day tomorrow. We will be there till the 23th. Had construction going on the the past days and missed the post. Did you get to stay at Fort Sam? There is a FamCamp El Paso a Fort Bliss, but problem this time of year is the Winter Texans filling up the parks. They do bring a little money to the area though.

manholt Report post Posted January 23, 2017 This time of year, you also have all the RV's going to Quartzite and next month FMCA pre Rallies prior to Chandler! If Ray left early enough this frozen morning, 32 in Bandera. He should be around Ft. Stockton by now! Per NOAA, expect high wind tonight and tomorrow, 25 to 35mph with gust's to 40+. Same goes all the way to Benson, AZ. Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
