My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Camping / Golf Carts?

Is anyone planning on camping at IRCHA (in tents) and wanting to get a golf cart? I hear they're around $35/day or so. I'm willing to split the cost of the stay with whoever is interested. Please let me know.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Camping question...

Hi guys,
This is my first year that I'm planning a trip to IRCHA.. I'm thinking of pulling my camper. It's a 30' travel trailer. My question is would this be a big PITA to find a spot for? Would I be better off just getting a room?
Thanks in advance for any recommendation,
Todd

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		If you want to be certain to have electric, you will need to contact AMA for a camping space at site 3 ( shower house area )

IF THE WEATHER is dry before the jamboree,
we will be allowed to park additional campers and motorhomes behind site 4 ( Jamboree site ) These spaces will be primitive NO ELECTRIC hookups. So you will be dependent upon your generators, but you will be close to the action.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Well we here in the Natti are getting ready for the big dance. Let's see, I've ordered some new Outrage packs (for the 500), a new Quick UK frame frame for my 2nd N9, got the camping gear cleaned, and I'm currently searching for a Honda 2000i generator. Yep...can't wait!

There's wifi available at the AMA field, you just have to pay a small amount at the headquarter office and they'll give you a password to get access. Pinoy

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Camping

Is anyone camping at the Jamboree and possibly bringing a generator? This is my first full stay at IRCHA and was trying to figure out how to keep all my batteries charged up. Any thoughts on where to pick up a cheap one? Please let me know.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		RyeGuy83,

I'm planning to camp at IRCHA am I'm going to buy a Honda EU2000i generator in the next couple of weeks just for this dance. Don't know where to get a "cheap", but the Honda is about $1000 but you could also go for the EU1000i for about $700. What days are you planning to come?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I'm planning on going to the IRCHA Jamboree this year...but I dont think I will be able to make it for four full days. I also think that maybe we'd pull out our tent. It would be just my wife and I. Now, are there costs for tent camping? Once I register do I get a schedule or something?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Missle - I am planning on being at IRCHA the entire time. I am planning on tent camping and I have already signed up to volunteer for the event. I actually work at Menards, and I've seen some smaller generators for around $450-500, but was wondering if there was some small $200 ones anywhere. We actually sell Solar Panels for $100 a piece. I thought about hooking a couple of those to a lone car battery and go "Green" this year. lol. it's an idea

Chris - I have been in contact with AMA about camping... The fee is $5 / day for primitive tent camping. Not sure if there is anything extra for being at electric site 3. I'll have to look into it.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I picked up one of the 'Contractor Series' generators for $145 at a local tool store. Not nearly as quiet as the Honda, but a lot cheaper. Works great for charging plenty of batteries. I believe it is 850 watts continuous.

Seen them on ebay too...

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Loud Generators?

Yeah, loud generators are not fun at IRCHA. Usually guys have a car battery that they carry and plug your charger into that. And if you're camping, primitive style, or near those guys/us, don't plan on running it all nite to charge!! We are all nice guys but that a lot to ask...

I do what I have to do, so I can do what I want to do.

I went through 2 of those before breaking down and getting the Honda 2000i. If I bought the Honda prior to trying the ebay jobs, I would be grumbling about paying too much for Honda. But, trying those first made me feel that the Honda is worth every penny.

Be sure to carry 50-100ft extension to run that generator without complaints from your neighboring pilots.
