 Re: camping
ANDIEBEE:: The battery's in a wheel chair needs to be on charge for about 7 hours. OR while I sleep. Then I can go for a day in a campground situation.After 20yrs I know the range as to the terrain Im on. If I stay mostly on paved road Im good. But if I have a site like last year on a sandy path. "THE SHORT CUT" between the shower house and disk golf area. I have to find a good people watching spot and conserve power. Then I can see the shows I want to see the most. I get uncomfortable if I ask to sit at a camp site for 3-4 hours.To charge up.Once I plug it in, Im stuck there until its charged. In that case I need my soft drink and I do use medical stuff when I sit LOL. Its kinda hard to explain. You guys have been a lot of help in the past two days I feel a lot better about this year at WANEE. If I knew how to put a photo on here I could show my chair. I have had polio for 60 yrs. So Im very independent and self providing. Ill get by. I do want to catch the MEET&GREET.

 Re: camping
I dont sleep for 7 myself but my wheelchair does. It rain last year and I stayed under a tarp a lot or sitting in my truck listening to the music. Then I had to look for power for the chair. Im lucky Im 60 had polio for 60yrs and I still do about what I want.I just have to do it my way. Thats why I do most of my life alone. "except for my dog". Its all good. Im a happy loner.

 Re: camping
hello and welcome to the forums! I'm not sure the setup but my cousin has some sort of solar charger rigged to his electric chair. do you have a spare battery that could charge while you are out and about being festive? that way you wouldn't be stuck you could just switch them out?
