This week we are discussing the top 5 mistakes we made during our first time full-time RVing in our Airstream, and some of these were doozies! We hope by sharing them with you, you won’t make the same mistakes! Our first major mistake was our tires. Please as Steve says When in Doubt, Change them […]
This week we are talking about our top 3 renovations we’ve made to our Airstream for boondocking or free camping in the wilderness. The first major renovation/upgrade we did was solar. Solar power while not necessarily cost-effective when compared to using a generator is much more convenient in our opinion and makes our power a […]
This week’s Friday Favorite is our Luci Light. The Luci light is a portable solar powered lantern that’s perfect for evening meals and nights around the campfire. It’s small and compact and then blows up to give out more light. We use it all the time outside of the Airstream and it would be perfect […]
In today’s video, we decide to skip the crowds in Yellowstone and instead head down to Mesa Falls which is about 30 minutes south of where we are boondocking. Unfortunately, there were crowds there too due to a bike race and being closer to the zone of totality for the eclipse the next day. The […]
In today’s video, we leave Jefferson County Lake Campground. Our first stop is a dump station at the Visitor Center in Ashton Idaho on our way to our boondocking spot. Then we continue heading north and east to a boondocking area in Island Park Idaho. After our boondocking troubles recently we decided to take the […]
This week we’re answering a question from a past video. “Have we used our generator? Every morning for appliances? 12v appliances? Hows solar?” So, in general, we answer what is our strategy for power while boondocking and how is our solar system and generator working out for us. On Tuesday’s we’d like to answer questions […]
Now that Steve has officially retired he is starting on his list of tasks to get done before we hit the road full time. First up setting up our generator and making sure we know how to work it. As you guys know we are mainly powered by our solar setup but it is always […]
As Steve put it, “the video you’ve all been waiting for”. We show you most of the components to our new solar system installed by AM Solar and explain each piece and why we decided on what we did. They did such an amazing job of installing everything. We didn’t lose a speck of storage […]
On Tuesday’s we’d like to answer questions sent to us from viewer’s like you and share some of the details of our Airstream life. This week, we’re answering a bunch of questions we’ve been getting about our decision to get solar from AM Solar and why we drove all the way to Oregon over Thanksgiving […]
We’re on our way to AM Solar in Oregon to get our solar installed! Join us as we drive all the way from Tucson AZ to Springfield OR all 1500 miles in 3 days. We learn some lessons along the way too…like what to check if the Airstream’s brakes suddenly lock up, to look for […]
