My theory on the NOLA salt lovers not knowing good food when it literally hits their tongue is looking better and better

Can't help it. Sure I'm no sophisticated foodie, but just saying. Lamest food and dining experiences I've ever had. Not awful. But about as boring as boring as math class in high school. I'm not sure it's a salt thing. Maybe just more seasoning and life. And I didn't find it all that fresh, fruit selection isn't that great, unlike many other places. I found the restaurants boring too...And no, I have no developed palate or food sophistication. It's not my thing. But still, in so many places I've been how can Italy be so boring? Never had a problem picking restaurants anywhere else. Just saying, IMO, the most overrated cuisine and food I've ever experienced. Restaurant wines sucked too. Tasted like MD 20/20, and I couldn't find a decent cab. Guess I'm just not sophisticated enough for Italy. 🤷

Watch out for the frozen fish from China too 😂

Sounds like you took this personally.

Well you are wrong. My son just moved to Naples and his assessment of the food and restaurants was exactly the same as even to the availability of fruit. I think you are projecting and it is your lack of experience with restaurants and a underdeveloped palate on your part. When packaged salami is better than the food offered at a restaurant it is clear the food in area in not top notch. My son was even disappointed in the bread in the area. BTW I am from New Orleans also, I guarantee any local home kitchen cook can out cook what my son has be served while in Italy.

@@jimclark7125 lol really cool that your son moved there. idk what to tell you or your son if he can't find good restaurants and fresh produce. the world disagrees with you both and that's good enough for me

E immondizia dovunque.

Yes! In fact, I will soon be listing for sale. I love this unit and hate to get rid of it.😥 But my kids are growing and I need something a tad bit bigger.

I'm probably one of the .08% of people on Earth who wasn't impressed by food in Italy, but I just wasn't.🤷 Maybe I'm just acclimated to the seasoning and kick of New Orleans Italian food, but I found the stuff there to be exceptionally bland and boring.

He said the food wasn't great and showed a bunch of pictures of spaghetti...hard to take it seriously 🤦‍♂️

@@StevenPearson1981 this right here. guy's palate is severely lacking

Such a massive, beautiful park. I only had a few days but you really need a week or more to take advantage of all the hikes and see it all.

I think a 1,000-Watt generator would be enough to power a 5,000-BTU AC unit, like the one that the Runaway factory installs. You can get a pretty small, pretty quiet generator for $500 or less that'll do that for you, and run all night or all day on not much more than a half-gallon of fuel. Small as these trailers are, you could probably cut that 5,000 BTUs by half, and still keep up pretty easy, especially if you do as I do and park it under a canopy shelter during the summer. I also do it in winter, but I park part-way under instead of all the way under. According to Duck, you can operate a 5,000 BTU AC unit off a 100 amp-hour lithium battery for about 3 hours. A 100 amp-hour lead-acid battery maybe an hour and a half. I'm pretty sure that's continuous operation, which you wouldn't be doing, but it takes a lotta solar, a lotta battery, and a lotta sun. If you're on the desert, a swamp cooler works quite well. Low humidity makes the water want to evaporate more, harnessing the latent heat of vaporization at ambient temperature and pressure. If you're out West, you probably just want a swamp cooler. If you're in the southeast or midwest, you definitely don't want a swamp cooler. You need an actual compressor to force the Gas Laws along. But if it's dry where you're at, a swamp cooler just needs water and enough juice to run a fan, which is WAY less power than an air conditioner. But it does use a lot of water, which may not be good in the desert. If you're a snow bird, you can just follow the temperature gradient north or head to higher elevations. I lived in Gunnison, Colorado for 7 years, and you would never need AC at all n the summer. Runaway caters to the people in their region, and rightly so, and Westerners and Northerners are given a very basic setup they can modify. I think Runaway's stock AC is pretty beefy, so a fool can go out in the sun in 100-degree weather and 95% humidity, and bask in air-conditioned comfort as long as he can keep the power on, even if the windows are open to let out the cigarette smoke. Seems like the majority of Runaway people stick to places where there's shore power. Maybe that's just because campgrounds are the easiest places for folks to congregate, so that's all I see. I see more and more videos of people who camp/live off-grid in them. I went ahead and got the AC with my Venturist. You kinda have to special-order them NOT to put it in. But they've had years of trial-and-error and settled on the cheapest, most bulletproof setup possible. For some reason, I have this inordinate fear of having a window in the front of the trailer. In my mind, it's just too likely to sustain rock damage. I never did a study on the likelihood of rock damage, but I never once considered it an inordinate risk to have a windshield in the front of my truck! Besides, if I were paranoid about rock damage, it'd be easy to put a cowling over the window while driving.

@@harrymills2770 Very informative, lots to think about. Thank you.

Plus, I forgot to mention, the added comforts of the teardrop has enabled me to camp more, for longer periods, and in bad weather. I still love roughing it in tents and hammocks, but couldn't see myself tent camping twice a month...Honestly I do like both.

Yes. It's a long hike down the mountain but easy enough.

Not sure, this is what it came with. Need to upgrade it though.
