Hi, yes it will be next year so plenty of time to plan, we need a list of people that want to meet up so we can plan the RV route.
Either way it's happening !! Everyone is welcome ;)

A popular point of entry into the US is NYC. If you land in the city I could drive down and show you the city some and drive you to a RV rental place. NYC is well worth seeing but a dab will do ya cause its intense. The people are nice but there are ALOT of them. I live about 5 hours Upstate but go down fairly often. I think plenty of RV's are rented but you'd wanna check that.

Headed West from NYC you enter a vast wasteland known as Upstate NY (about 10 hours drive) then the even worse Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Takes a good days driving to clear this wasteland. Once you get past Chicago it gets slowly better as you enter the heartland. Good people and pretty landscape that just gets better and better until the Rockies which are breathtaking.

Headed South outta the city is another vast wasteland until southern Virginia. From there on its nothing but blue skies and nice people. Head south until nobody but you speaks English and follow the Gulf to see most of the people in this thread. Pull into a quiet rest area and cut the engine. Listen for banjo's and they will lead you to Robert Crowell and Boden.

    How about winding different ga wires together?
    An un-claptoned clapton?

    My winding jig will be similar to yours in your vids.
    As in a parallel 30/28g ? I'm not sure what the benefit would be. I'll give it a go. (I'm bored/wife is driving me nuts)

    I'm going to butcher the word, but it's like "capriole" maybe?
    oh kewl!! You were close, cabriolet. I love seeing the Lippizzaner stallions do that and every other thing they do! Never seen an Arabian do that. We do that with training Dolphins and other marine mammals. Let them play and when you see them do a flip or behavior you like, blow the whistle, feed em a lotta fish. When they do it again, do the same thing. When they're doing it regularly, show them a hand signal for it a few times. Then only reward them when you've asked them to do it.

    Both, some that can't get time off or can't come, maybe we can drop by for a few days, everyone is welcome to come though and there will be loads of space. That's why the route is so important

    We have an AMAZING hiway system here . With a Sister in Seattle and Father in Florida I've crossed the country a good many times.

    Afew cities are worth timing when you go though but mostly you blow right by them. Worth paying attention to include but not limited to are anything near NYC. Baltimore/Washington DC is a NITEMERE!!!!!!!! Chicago is pretty bad. Orlando is pretty bad. Miami is frigging HORRIBLE. The West coast has a bunch of bad ones.

    Negative...headed west out of the city you encounter the wastelands of New Jersey and Pennsylvania!

    I'm less than two hours upriver of the city; I go on occasion for work. Used to be almost daily when I lived in Nyack.

    I have no idea what speeds your used to driving at but here they vary greatly.

    Most of the East is very slow driving mostly in the 75MPH range. But down South you can hurry it up some, generally in the 85-90 range. Out West you can really drive, mostly around a 100. In all my trips out West I stay in the low 100's and have only been stopped one and that ticket was 99 in a 75 and cost 65 bucks. I took the ticket and resumed normal driving.

    The 30/28 parallel vapes like a parallel 29g.
    Still working on perfecting my Radiator coil. Is much easier with only one gauge wire.
    View attachment 559983

    That's 2mm wide and 4mm tall
    I called it the oval coil when I wrapped around a tiny wire tie for rebuilding Kanger T3 coils.

    did you flatten out a section of 4 mm rod to make those coils?


    I wonder has anyone ever double claptoned wire? 2 layers of claptonizing over the core wire.

    Getting hard to invent new coil styles....

    I guess on a map your right.

    For me its Northwest up 87/90.

    For his needs he wouldn't need to see Upstate so could go right on I80.

    Old habit for me.

    If we all smoked instead of vaped he could load the RV with Senecas in Buffalo for 15 bucks a carton to pay for his trip.
