    Carolyn, I loved this video. The driving video is great, but my favorite part is when you show Sadie enjoying the ride. It's helpful when you show the reality of traveling with your Class C with no TOAD. Telluride looks like a nice town to visit, just wish it was more RV friendly. Oh, was wondering if the scarves on the light post were for folks to take as needed. As a director for a social services agency, our adult services units would sponsor this effort each fall/winter. People would donate and tie scarves, knitted hats and gloves on signs/posts around town for anyone in need. It was always a big hit. Safe travels.

      @@shelleywalker6225 wow Shelley, thank you!! And all the best to you on your future adventures. I had been in public child welfare the whole time and while I loved the job and the clients; the bureaucracy was what I felt I was fighting day in and day out. So many services are available except policies and inept management stand in the way. I watched so many peers burnout, succumb to illness and indeed die much to early in this line of work and I didn’t want to be one of those statistics. Instead I became a Covid workforce cliche 😂 😂 😂. And you’re right, what does self care mean? How do I heal myself? This is more of a struggle than I thought. I loved meeting new people at the January RTR, and I met a lot of different people on the road during my time off however, I found myself in the same social worker role for some of them in figuring out resources and identifying their strengths and needs and course of action. It seems there is no escape from cycles and or history of poverty, abuse, substance abuse and their continuing effects. Although I was still working at the time, I found I couldn’t turn it off!! Obviously, I had to be more present and conscientious about my behavior. I was able to practice that in a couple of extended road trips I’ve taken since I retired. The alone time has been fantastic and just to be outside instead of being among concrete in a large urban city. I think you will find it refreshing when you are able to get on the road.

    #Jackery, Hello Carolyn, I could use the Jackery as an emergency back up to keep my devices charged. I camp alone and need to keep in contact with family. I don't like and really hate to spend the money on campgrounds for hookups. SSI does not pay much now days! Good luck to everyone!

    Like others have said, I was going to enter because wouldn't that be cool to win, but our story is so similar to others and there are some who need it more than we do. Gotta say that it's cool to see so many like us: retired and wanting to travel, preferring boondocking to campgrounds. Very generous of you, Carolyn. Congrats to the winner!

    #jackery Winning the 1500 Jackery would mean my partner would finally be able to hit the road with me. She should be on disability due to a work related accident but was denied and was also denied financial compensation. Mentally, being on the road would give her the boost she needs to once again feel like life is worth living. I would love to give her that gift!

    #jackery I will never be living full time on the road, but, at 65 I am going to be spending 6 months a year traveling everywhere I haven't been starting by heading towards Antelope Canyon. I have health issues so I need to get busy living. You've been a huge inspiration for me. Thanks!

    Thank you for this opportunity! My fur babies, baby tortoise, and I are Boondocking full-time in the desert, Overton, NV. You encouraged me big-time to live FREE! We recently had a full day black-out, and I had to rely solely on my gas powered generator$ Having the reliable Jackery for our life safety, and comfort, would be a dream come true.

    #jackery. I always enjoy your videos when you talk about the history of the small towns. I am looking to travel more. I have a mini van that I have outfitted with a bed, a 240 w jackery, a rv frig. Etc. So this year I have been a camp host ( with electricity) and am headed to Cape Cod to host again. This Jackery will allow me to boondock, since my small 240 Jackery cannot power a frig and my CPAP. Thank you for your generosity

Hoping to save for a more comfortable rig to convert. Would love to use the jackery in a future conversion also. Thanks Carolyn!

    #jackery I have just started to work remotely in March. I just finished a week long experiment working in my camper. Result: my Jackery 500 with (1)100 watt solar panel will get me enough power for 4 hours. A Jackery 1500 would get me through the workday. So I can start to confidently take my little camper and fur babies camping to be happy, be free, and be kind.

    I get very comfortable in my car when I am heading out on an extended journey. Each stop finds me rearranging packs and Rubbermaid containers, optimizing the steps it takes to get to the peanut butter.

    #Jackery Hi Carolyn, I’d like to win, because the Jackery 1500, will help with Boondocking, especially with keeping fans and swamp AC units running, to keep my two cats cool, when I need to leave the van and at night time. Winning this unit, will reduce the stress of a 63yo woman, traveling with two cats who don’t get along very well. Thank you for this opportunity.

We are a couple in our 60’s, with a handsome pooch (the best boy and single btw!) and retiring. With Colorado’s unpredictable weather this prize would be more than helpful in our endeavor. Thanks for the chance!

    Saving on gas going only 150 miles! Great! I keep saying, "One day!" Telluride reminds me of Zermatt, Switzerland! It would take stress from me because my husband needs a machine to breathe at night. Losing power, often in Florida, it would be detrimental. Also I think you're a smart cookie and brave to live your life this way. I'm proud to know you!

      Thank you for reviewing this product 1st of all I have been looking at this charger charger for 2 years now or a similar model to the one that you reviewed. I set up my 2010 Subaru out there to be without that to be my camper vehicle Nicole that I can take the dogs along and go and travel with. I've made a makeshift bed in the back and set up a little water system and we go on our little trips and have a wonderful time I notice one thing that I really helpful would be to have a charger available instead of using my car battery all the time I know it sounds silly but we learn as we go. I'm starting late on this travel bug that I've gotten I'm 67 and I have 2 dogs.. My motto is never say never anymore and you gotta go out and do it if you want to see it and be part of it. Also when I'm not using the charger on my little adventures I'd like to be able to lend it out to a friend or 2 that Could use it when they do their little traveling adventures I think it's important to share in life and not just keep it and not use it as often as it could be used. So it would benefit me and others around me that travel quite a bit..... If you're ever in the neighborhood please stop in and say hello this is Prescott Arizona one place you might enjoy in Arizona is dogtown lake great place to camp Take care and thank you for sharing this experience with all of us out here
