BOONDOCKING…JIM’S WAY

This is our maiden voyage in the Boondocking adventure.  Jim was in the planning stage for this for 2 years prior to leaving “civilization”.  

We have discovered that the solar panels are not as efficient as we hoped they would be, but Jim keeps saying that is because the sun is not as high in the sky for them to work at full potential.   I guess that is why we have a generator on board to supplement the electrical needs.  As long as I can still work on the computer and watch TV and have heat in the camper what more can I ask for?  Oh, yeah, Jim is still cooking all the meals (I love it).

Good purchases (additions) for the camper have been the freezer, the additional refrigerator, the added cabinet in the kitchen, and the two extra 100 gallon tanks for the back of the truck.  These things have definitely made this adventure a lot easier.  There are still a few more things that need to be addressed in the camper, like the washer and dryer needs to be hooked up but other than that things are working pretty well.

This has become our home now and with that being said, what do you do to your home when you become dissatisfied with something?  You rip it out of course!!!  We are now in the planning stage of removing the couch and dinette seating area and replacing it with cabinets and free standing lounge chairs and dinette chairs.  (more on this later---when I get my way).
