Going Green

One thing we have planned is to head out West to live in the sun. Literally. We plan on boon-docking for quite a bit of our trip, so in an effort to do that, we now have fully-functioning solar panels on the top of the camper. The energy created from these 10 solar panels will allow us to fully function indefinitely, without ever needing to plug in. We run a chest-type household freezer, apartment-sized refrigerator, satellite TV, toaster, hair dryer, coffee maker, all the LED lights in the camper and any other electrical needs.

Jim was featured in Examiner.com, a national publication: Energy Del Sol PVL Solar Power Mat: Shakedown testing

Photos of the roof of our camper, like what you see Jim standing on here, are featured in the Customer Gallery on the manufacturer's website, Energy Del Sol (you can buy them directly and use this discount code: 1115-01).

Very exciting!


Getting Ready!

After three years of planning, making the big purchases, and modifying the trailer to meet our needs and wants, it is almost time to leave on the big adventure.We leave in only 3 weeks are are very excited.

Stop back at the beginning of October as we hit the road so we can keep you posted on where we are headed. Anyone remember where our first stop will be after we leave Ohio? :-)

Visit the blog often and "travel" with us - it's going to be an exciting trip!

Cheers,
Barb & Jim
