GOING TO THE R T R , WANNA COME ALONG

[rvwanderer11]

The rtr is in January 2019, I'll be in sw Florida and heading that way,  rt 75 to 10 to az, can't get lost. Anyone else is Fla going and want to follow along or lead the way, I'm expecting to do 5 or 6 hours a day, no hurry ... some boondocking except for the day before. I'll stay in a park, dump tanks fill water etc if interested leave a message

Sounds like it's for full timers?

 

[PJ Stough]

It is for anyone who wants to attend, but I would guess that it is mostly fulltimers who attend, and most of them are into "cheap RV living".  Lots of other you tube videos on the topic.

Cheap RV Living is the website of the organizer of the RTR

It sort of caters to van dwellers that are looking for a cheap way to full-time off the grid as much as possible, but any kind of rver is definatly welcome.

Rtr started out for vans, now its grown to all rvs .  They have seminars for all things rving. Its turning into a big party in the desert . They expect 6 thousand or more . Thats a lot of rvs n tents . Im gonna go check it out and then explore maybe south and go see texas ...

That number sounds wildly optimistic.  We average 1000-1500 people at the Escapade each year, and it's only manageable due to lots of advance planning.  Large FMCA rallies probably draw similar crowds.  Six thousand people would create an unmanageable mess, IMO.

I think it is in Quartzsite so limited facilities.

 

[rvwanderer11]

The rtr location has moved since last year, they needed more space. Last year estimates were 3500  by the park rangers , and 4500 estimated by tbe people putting it on.  Either way its a lot of people.  Its east of quartzite just off of rt 10... i figured 1500 miles for me ,now i mapped it, its 2350. Miles. If your not retired or doing full time, thats a long trip ...

 

[rvwanderer11]

Oh and no water, no sewer and no electric , your boondocking , >

The last FMCA rally at Gillette, Wy drew 1800 COACHES,, double that for people.>>>Dan

That's a lot of people. Lock up your stuff.

I drove thru it last winter when I was at Quartzsite.

Mostly Vans, cars, tents, and various other RVs.

They were spread out over a large area south of the Interstate and east of town.

It did have a kind of Hippy feel to the gathering.
