How did you like it? How many hours did you end up logging on the generator?

We were running off hookups at an RV campground so we avoided the generator. The place we rented from charged pretty high prices for using the generator.

One suggestion I have is to be stingy with the water usage, we filled up the grey water quickly without showering or using the sink too much. I definitely recommend taking bathroom business to the Honey Buckets, and take short showers as if you're camping (get wet, turn water off, lather, rinse off).

It's my first year going to Sasquatch so I'm not sure if there are RV hookups at the Gorge campgrounds, someone else on here could probably answer.

As for keeping beverages cold, I'd still recommend going with a cooler and ice, I'd try to stay off the generator except for necessary things such as keeping meats cold in the fridge/freezer if necessary.

There are definitely no hook ups. Thanks for the feedback!

I would second the comment about the honey buckets. You have to haul the black water out of there (black water is the water from the toilet). If your gray water tank is smaller than your fresh water tank, your tank can "spring a leak". That water is just shower and kitchen water. It won't do anything to the environment. I dig a hole at the spout and let it trickle out. As long as you keep it from smelling it should be ok. I bring an extra 200 gallons so I usually share it with the other rvs around me.

As far as thye generator, I have jump started a few rvs that ran their batteries down because they didn't strat their gereator soom enough. MAke sure you don't run your batteries too low.

Run your refrigerator on propane and it won't drain your batteries. And no, there are no hookups whatsoever at the Gorge campground. The only hookups you can get is if you go to Wild Horse, and they go really quick. They have been sold out probably since January.

Ya the fridge in our unit does not use the generator. The generator runs the outlets and the microwave.

As far as I can tell from looking around online, as long as a vehicle is registered as an RV, I dont need a special license to drive it in any state correct?

My Sasquatch experience just went from "awesome" to "mindblowing", potentially. Just gotta get the steering column straightened out and we'll be rolling in style.

Is there a designated spot for RV camping at the Gorge?

There should be, but in years past they created an overflow area on the edge of the main parking lot. The advantage is you were much closer to the music, the disadvantage is you were away from the really big parties.
