After practicing living without being plugged in, we felt like our solar setup was ready for real boondocking. We guessed at how much water we’d need in our fresh water tank for a few days, not wanting to overfill and increase the weight of the rig while driving, then headed Read more…
I’ve heard for years how beautiful Eleven Mile State Park is and it did not disappoint. There is not much nearby, so not much cell service either, which we weren’t quite prepared for. The next lesson we learned was to make sure we have all campsite info downloaded/offline. Without cell Read more…
