Almost all GMRS radios are made in China. If you find one made in USA please post. MIdland is the most common I think for in-vehicle installations.

Charging a 12V battery from a 12V source requires a DCDC device. RedArc, etc.

Arrive Thu if camping. Avoid getting a locked in spot. The Event has outgrown the venue, so expect it to be crowded. If you have time, take the road less traveled. I went 380 West, camped first night in Lincoln, then hit VLA, Petrified NP, Meteor Crater. Second night in Cinder hills and check...
