The topics are to be anything related to mobile tech, living on the road, working on the road, etc. This is a great opportunity to attend free classes that could enhance your Tech Life on the road.

Is anyone local that has a set of bus ramps we can use next week?
If so, we will treat you to a dinner and a show here at St. George RV Resort.

M&C,

Thanks again for the great rally you hosted in the spring.

Do you have a date certain for the "class"? I have a busy schedule the whole next week. I have a set of ramps available but I don't know if I will be able to make it down to St. George or not. Please share specifics and I'll see if I can put something together. I'm always interested in anything to do with a 4106 especially if Clifford touched it.

BTW I live in Cedar City.

Looks like they will arrive this Monday and the topics and dates are as follows;
Living and Working on the Road on Tue at 6pm and
The Promise of Lithium Ion Battery Technology for RV Use on Thur at 1:30pm?
We can keep them fairly open ended as well, and do them more as a Q&As depending upon who is there and what they want.
And looks like fellow busnuts, Ben & Karen, will be following us up there later in the week.  So you'll get to meet them too.  They're working on converting a 1962 Flxible Starliner, but are currently living in a 40' Prevost.
M&C ;D

Michael it's easy to build a set of ramps from 2X12's
start by cutting 2-48'ers, 2-36"ers, 2-30"ers, 2-24"ers, 2-18"ers, and 2-12"ers.  (if done right you should be able to do this out of 3 12' 2X 12's with left overs or 3.5 8'ers)

Just use drywall screws to hold them together.
;D  BK  ;D

We have arrived to a very warm and friendly welcome from Michael at St. George RV Resort today, and looking forward to being here for a week or two.  We're also greatly looking forward to our talks.  If those dates/times don't work for folks in the area - come on by anytime that does work. We're always up for bus geeking :)

And yes, our friends Ben & Karen of http://www.creativecruiser.com (http://www.creativecruiser.com) will be joining us this week as well.

Here's some descriptions for next week's talks to start pimping out:

Boondocking Basics: Affordable Off-Grid Living


Description:  Boondocking is a great way to stay in remote locations, or just to save money by not paying for camping. Chris and Cherie will go over how to find boondocking locations as well as how to be prepared to maximize your experience.



Keeping Connected: Mobile Internet Options


Descriptions: Technomads Cherie & Chris will go over a wide array of internet options that can be used while RVing, exploring their costs, advantages and considerations.  Cellular data, satellite and public wifi options will be discussed.


Cherie Ve Ard & Chris Dunphy of Technomadia have been living and working on the road full time since 2006, and consider themselves technomads (technology enabled nomads). They run their software & technology consulting business as they explore the country and beyond in a geeked out vintage bus. They enjoy sharing how to make it possible just because it's fun, and blog regularly about similar topics at www.technomadia.com (http://www.technomadia.com).
Dates and times to follow M&C

Fantastic news, Don & Sheila!  Looking forward to meeting you both... and Sheila is going to have a great time exploring this area. Absolutely beautiful. 

(Just how many buses does it take to consider it a rally? :) )
