Happy Holidays from Vegas Trailer

It is hoped that you are having a great holiday season. Traditionally our store is very un-busy during the holiday season. People just don't want to buy RV stuff for presents! Oh well. The typical busy retail days do not apply to us.

Anyway, if you are needing a couple of last-minute ideas for Christmas gifts, I have a couple of ideas for you with a little discount not available unless you mention you read it on this blog.

We have a large selection of Lodge Dutch Ovens and Cast Ironware. Several of these items are on sale for the holiday, but if you mention you saw it on our web site then you can save an additional 10% off all prices, including sale prices!

We also carry the wonderful Global Sun Oven that so many Las Vegans use regularly. We have 4 in stock and we will knock off $10 dollars if you come in and mention this offer.

How about the solar run SunDanzer Refrigerator? We have a couple of the 120v/12/24vdc 5.8cf units in stock. If you want to save off our regular low price you can save $50 bucks on one for the next couple of days. Just mention this offer and we will discount the 120vac option $50.

Our good friends from Grantsville came down to visit us for a couple of days and our daughter came home from Hawaii for the holidays and our daughter and son-in-law from Reno are visiting us for the weekend. Sounds like we are having a great holiday (busy too), so I hope yours is going well too.

All the best, Mike

Safer with Solar Booklet

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

The links to the individual topics in the 35 page booklet are still not active. My web software still will not work. Looks like my laptop will need to be wiped clean before I will be able to activate them. The link to download the entire booklet is still active.

You can find the link to download the pdf file on the download page of solarprepared.com.

I hope your holiday season is nice.

All the best, Mike

Soft Wheat & Rye grain in Las Vegas

I apologize for not keeping up with this blog lately. Been real busy with the smaller crew we have at VTS. We all are taking on more responsibilities to keep afloat in this economy. We are finding a huge growth in first-time users of RV's because of the mortgage crisis here in Las Vegas. People have to live somewhere!

For several months I have wanted to find a place where I can get whole rye grain here in Las Vegas. Until recently it has been a futile search. Well not any more, but it is only available in very small bulk quantities...

Whole Foods on West Charleston has rye in their bulk area. Of course you can only buy a few pounds of it, but at least it is available. They also have soft white wheat in their bulk section. I just love making cookies out of soft white wheat. The flour is soft and silky. The rye and soft wheat are new items for Whole Foods.

I still want to buy this stuff in larger quantities so let me know if you find any in the area.

Have a good day, Mike

Making the Best of Basics to be Reborn

A representative of a great old book contacted me today with information that their formerly retired book/directory "Making the best of Basics" will be republished soon. I believe the last publication was in 1999 and we had an ad for Vegas Trailer Supply in it.

If it sticks to the same format there will be a lot of valuable preparedness information in it as well as where you can get specialized emergency supplies. We submitted Vegas Trailer as well as our Solar for Emergencies site to be listed in it. We feel that the info in the SFE site is important to anyone wanting to be prepared for emergencies.

You can find info at www.preparednessyellowpages.com and www.familypreparednessguide.com . The last link has a blog by James Talmage Stevens that relates to emergency preparedness. The blog and links seem new because there are not a lot of them yet, but I will bet there will be a lot more info on these sites soon. Destined to be a real asset to those of us concerned about preparedness.

More info about food threats coming soon. I gotta edit the stuff first. All the best, Mike
