I was thinking about that this morning, on my way back from two car door
unlockings at Canyon Lake. They make electric motors that can drive a
wheel on a car or RV. Put the diesel engine to good use by hooking it up
to an electric generator and power the wheels with the electric motors,
just like the diesel-electric engines the railroad use. Charge a bank of
batteries at the same time.

The funny part was that they had pitched that tent the night before and
had to take it down and pack it away before 1pm that day. They didn't have
any reservations to stay longer. I knew there were places they had missed
and so I gave them directions to a very large camp ground where they may
not have been by the river's edge, but they would have a campsite they
didn't have to move out of the next day. This was Memorial weekend, and
the river was packed with people.
