I was concerned about that as well, but I just played around with my newer pad an Android tablet. After downloading a bunch of specific maps for areas i was planning on going to visit, I picked a group of maps on GAIA. I have all 10 western states covered with enough details to get me where i...

Just from my very cursory research, there is a pattern to gun rights in states. The states without a Castle Doctrine are those that are more restrictive about CCL and reciprocity. My read is the castle doctrine gives you more rationale for using your gun but not necessarily the right to carry...

I found this interesting, about transporting and whether an RV is a home. Looks like it is subject the same as a car as far as needing only probable cause to search while on the road. https://www.motorhome.com/lifestyle/rv-living/firearms-compliance-for-rvers/

I was under the impression my Wy DL gave me a CCL and therefore reciprocity, but just checked and it does not. So I need to look into getting my CCL and then studying the state laws of where i am traveling.

I grew up in a serious gun family and was a gun owner at 5 years old and shot all kinds of guns except high powered rifles. The guns I grew up with burned in a fire and I had not fired a gun for over 30 years. I had bought a 22 rifle and a 9mm pistol recently and want to take it with me in my...

Really cool rig. I have never seen anything like it. I was at a loss for what a jeep camper was. It can still be used for a daily driver and for when you want to go offroad. It is like my big 3/4 ton truck. I have too much invested to let it go or try to alter it to more my needs so i went...

I am at a loss for what a jeep camper is, but if you spent a ton of money tricking out a jeep, you will be disappointed in the performance of a van. No amount of money will make a vehicle twice the weight with a higher Center of Gravity drive like a smaller vehicle. You have to decide if you...

That would only be a problem if your pad is an Ipad. Ipads require a "cellular" model to have a built in GPS. I have had 3 Android tablets one a Nexus 7 and two Samsungs. All have worked for nav purposes. The only time I have had a pad based nav failure involved an Ipad. It was not an Ipad...

I thought I was old school because I want to carry a map just in case. You use maps as your primary source for navigating. So I took a look at my collection of atlases and would want large scale maps if I was going to use paper as my primary nav source. As much as I like actual maps I still...

Which Garmin do you use? Does your dog participate in SAR?

Have you tried using GAIA or other than Android Auto apps on the receiver?

I think the search to meet your parameters is a hard one. The heavy duty easy set up seem to be really big in storage. The ones that break down smaller like Springbar and Kodiak (essentially the same tent) one primarily US made and the other only Chinese made, are not freestanding and or take...

Care to share what was wrong with the van you passed on? As I shared I had a Ford Dealership do an inspection for me before flying out. I had the owner do a Facetime interview on the RV before I scheduled that and book my flight where he ran each RV system for me to show all systems were...

Based on suggestions here I narrowed my search to a post 97 E350 because of the level of upgrades to the Econoline. I liked B190s and sportsmobiles but ended up with a Class C for simply the tons of space and long term liveability. I will look to add some lift and maybe drive upgrades after...

I have been considering a Sprinbgar import for a while because they have a hot tent option with a stove, which seems pretty nice for colder climes. Unfortunately, all US and imported tents and parts have been sold out for months...

I generally have 3 or more independent nav sources with me. The one time I went without paper almost proved disastrous because of very high end corrupt software. I currently have a collection of Delorme and Benchmark atlases for my local areas. Staring at the Gaia for days in a row trying...

That is a great idea a completely second set of hardware and software source for maps from my primary pad. The Nuvis are starting at less than $100.

New to this software and it was giving me fits finding my way around. I have been playing a with the layers and found adding county and state borders has made a huge difference in being able to pan and know where I am and where I want to go when zoomed out.

Only Ipads require an LTE enabled pad to have a GPS, all except the cheapest droid tablets have GPS built in. You don't have to pay for cell service, you just have to buy a capable pad to do this. Ipads were superior for GAIA but this has been solved as far as I can tell. IMO A sub $200...
