That boondocking sounds perfect!

Thanks for sharing the links. Ironically, Michael and I were working on my screen door today as the zipper splits all the time. We had no success today. I did talk to Cary about the continuing problems we've had with both doors and he gave us the contact information for the door maker. I...

Thanks, Joan! We did see this article, plus a few others. The consensus seems to be that cleaning the panels definitely helps with efficiency.

Blender -vs- Jacuzzi!? Definitely the blender wins! Thanks, Frank!

Ron, Thanks for your response! We think that you are right on with your Dometic explanation. Michael has set us at 11.9 volts. So, we better understand what's going on!

Hi Al, Thanks for your response! We just use the CI controller, not the Renogy. Typically we only charge our phone in the teardrop when we're boondocking. And more frequently we will charge the phone in our car using a 100w inverter, along with our iPad and laptop. It looks like the...

We have Renogy 100 watt solar panels and are on our 6th day camping in a sunny clearing. We have the Camp-Inn installed 12v solar connection. The sun feeds our 12v AGM battery. We've noticed that our refrigerator has stopped working. Our on board solar controller reads "yellow". It doesn't...

The Grand Canyon is truly a masterpiece of Mother Nature! About 15 years ago, we backpacked for a week in the canyon and it was awe inspiring! Hope to get back there soon. Have a wonderful visit there!

Mary and David, Congrats to you! Very exciting! Wishing you happy trails!

Typically, the places we eat at are busy and we haven't felt the need for security at them. Hope we're not being naive! Our biggest worry is leaving the teardrop when we boondock. So far, we haven't done so. Even with our security locks and boot, I don't think I would have the confidence to...

Thanks for the advice about the bin lids and curtains!

We have Renogy 100 watt panels and bypassed their controller to use Camp-inn controller. Works great!

Great suggestions! Has anyone washed their curtains? What method? The crevice that runs behind the under counter bin lids gets messy often. I use swabs (damp) to clean out this hard to reach area. Any other ideas?

Re: TX Franklin Mountains State Park Thanks for your great suggestion! Will start adding links.

Interesting thought about the leveling jacks...somehow locking them in the down position. Gonna give this some thought! We use a boot on one wheel, a coupler lock on the latch, and a ball/receiver lock. We will be investing in a second boot. We hope all of this is a deterrent to a thief...

Hi! We full-time and chose to forego several options: Sink: we use 5 WATERBRICKS (trade name) that each hold 3.5 gallons. This has worked perfectly for all needs. Didn't want to deal with the tanks either. Stove: Like you, we want the freedom to locate the stove on a side table or...

Re: TX Franklin Mountains State Park Jeremy, It really was a beautiful place! We debated staying a fourth night, but hit the road east instead! Hopefully you will get there one day!

As full-timers, we went with a more basic set-up as we wanted as little as possible to maintain. We purchased a 550 Special and added a few ultra upgrades (lights, front storage box). We didn't get AC or the furnace. If it's cold we add blankets and layers and it's only been really...

In El Paso, this park is situated among the mountains and the scenery is so beautiful! The RV area is a small loop with only five spots! Saturday night all five spots were taken, Sunday night only two of us were here, and tonight it is just us! The tent area and day use area are far...

Hi Nancy, We use an REI IN-CAMP tent for our living space and don't have a tent or umbrella over the galley. If it's raining and we have electricity, we cook in the tent with a single burner hot plate. If raining and no electricity, we will eat cold food. And if it's a light rain we will...
