Yeah, and I think they're allowing that again too. For some reason I think they didn't allow it last year.

sneake will be fine without me, though. lobster did a fine job looking after him last year.

I remember someone by that handle. I miss them too (psst sneake)

Have you tried using your car to charge your Rv battery?  

"I swapped out my single 12V battery for dual 6V golf cart batteries."

That's what I was thinking. I was looking at a couple of 6v's for a class A. Hadn't considered golf cart inards. Maybe the same but gives me another place to look. Thanks.

Check out Goal Zero for some solar options

So parking and camping tix are now available. Anyone else think the price of RV camping is a bit steep?

Hmmmm.....$150 for boondock pass leaves $200 leftover. Enough to buy solar panels!

This is all I need for our tiny camper. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B8L6EFA/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Does your tweets by camper have a battery?

Here is a note that I sent to the owner of The Festy followed by his response:

Thanks for the note Michael. I think that it is great that you are offering so many different options this year. Love the idea of the shuttles. $350 seems like a lot of money for 30 amp powered RV considering it was $250 for the same thing last year. The $150 offering for boondocking would be great if we could bring our own external generators. Not sure why this has changed since we were able to use our own generators at the old location and it is in the same county so I would think that the same laws would apply. Hopefully you will reconsider this decision. Anyway thanks for what you are doing and look forward to seeing you on the farm!


Steven...we caused ourselves some issues last year as $250 did not cover our costs for offering power. Bringing in that temporary infrastructure is expensive. The adjust pricing made sure that we can cover our costs...and make sure that the RV section is better attended...including Shuttles.



The old location "operated outside of the law"...in many ways. As events are getting more popular...the regulations around them are getting looked at more closely. The Fire Marshall is the one who regulates onboard generators vs. others. We welcome the opportunity to create long-term events that are economically sustainable...and after the first we had last year, we are extremely sensitive to safety issues. We are going to constantly look to improve our offerings and welcome the feedback...and the venue will improve over time giving us opportunities to offer better accommodations each year. .

This is excellent customer service getting a personal response in such a timely fashion. I will gladly buy my RV pass with no complaints.
