RV_ Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 ND bird, That's about where I am today. I don't carry concealed but have a gun and steel telescoping baton in my car, and a warwood hardened oak 30" thumper in my truck instead of the steel baton as the baton doesn't serve dual duty well for defense and tire checks while towing. Some states allow concealed or open carry resident or not.

kb0zke Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Back to backing up, we use two-way radios. I check the batteries in them the evening before travel, and charge if necessary. MUCH easier than hand signals. Ours are similar to these: https://www.amazon.com/Cobra-Walkie-Talkie-Two-Way-Headsets/dp/B00VIVXV88/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1532479144&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=frs+radio&refinements=p_89%3ACobra&psc=1 David Lininger, kb0zke 1993 Foretravel U300 40' (sold) 2022 Grand Design Reflection 315RLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We keep a pair of FRS radios and have also used cell phones a few times. I have Pam back there even if the RV park sends their own person to direct. I have learned not to fully trust the park employees. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

He would have to find someone to use the other radio and if it did not have Voice Activation, teach then how to use it and hope that they remember to push the "Talk Button" if they indeed need to give directions in a hurry. A cell phone in hands free mode is an option but would still require a competent spotter to give directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
