Should be OK. The road to avoid is CA 36 between Red Bluff on I-5 and the coast.

The Pandemic may have influenced the latest poll. Many fulltimers found themselves with nowhere to stay when the government shut down recreational facilities nationwide including most campgrounds. My lot in the Pahrump co-op saved me from a similar fate when "two weeks to slow the surge" stretched into several months of a total shutdown. Having a place where I could go and ride out the closures was priceless.

I guess the solution is just to get out of California.

So they're basically motorhomes minus a front axle and driving compartment.

A pan stops heating the second you remove it from ANY kind of burner. Gas, electric or induction. Induction heat is concentrated in the base of the pan because it's closest to the induction coil and has the greatest mass to react with the inductive forces. Plus the amount of transmitted energy falls off at the square of the distance. Elevate the base of the pan the same distance above the burner as the sides are when the pan is sitting flush and you'll get little or no heat generation.

Something in CA's water? Explains a lot.

Using a router with a Visible phone has become largely irrelevant. Visible no longer restricts the phone's hotspot to one device at a time (the reason for making an external router the single device) so multiple devices can connect directly to the phone's hotspot. But all of them have to share the somewhat low 5 MBPS speed limit for the standard hotspot or 10 MBPS for Visible+.

You really don't need a fuse between the solar panels and the charge controller. Unlike a battery or a conventional power supply that sends humongous amounts of current into a short, solar panels will NEVER produce more current than their rated Short Circuit Current (Isc). This is only a few percent above the Maximum Power Point current so if your wiring can handle normal current it can also handle the slightly higher current the panels will send into a short. Likewise, if a fuse is sized to handle the solar panel's normal output the current will stay low enough to keep it from blowing if the wires are shorted. Where you DO need fuses are on the battery side of things to interrupt the huge rush of current if something shorts there.

At least part of the reason for the 6 month policy is while you can file a change of address to instantly start sending your mail TO a mail forwarder, you cannot issue a similar change of address AWAY from a mail forwarding service. The post office won't pre-sort the mail going to the forwarder to look for your mail. When you leave the forwarder you have to notify everyone of your new address and mail will continue going to the forwarder until the senders make the changes.

It's not just tornados or earthquakes that can interrupt natural gas service. When I moved up to WA my new bride told me when they lose electricity in the winter they shelter in place using blankets to block off the room with the gas fireplace and cook on the outdoor gas grill. The year before I got there they got a major snowstorm which cut the electricity for about a week. The town's natural gas storage tank ran out the third day stopping the flow through the gas lines.

Are you absolutely sure the DC output is connected with the correct polarity? Reverse polarity will blow electrolytic capacitors.

I carry enough cash to buy gas and groceries to get home. Once when I was in my 30s while on a trip to Colorado a malfunctioning ATM machine ate my debit card. Not having any credit cards at that time, I had to go to the bank's branch the next day where the teller intercepted the ATM courier and retrieved my card before he had a chance to shred it.

Once I bought new tires for my Ford F-350 and the shop inflated them to the full sidewall pressure which was 50% above the pressure on the truck's placard. It was a 60 mile drive home (unloaded) and the truck felt very unstable, like it was sliding and fishtailing. I almost brought them back the next day but I caught the error and setting them to the correct pressures solved the problem.

I'm surprised no one has marketed ABC (brand) DEF.
