I have been anxious to some winter camping for the last 2 years. Last year it didn’t work out and this year….let’s just say it’s hard to call camping in 50-60 degree temperatures, “winter camping.” I love the cold and snow and until last weekend, it has been scarce fir those of in the eastern […]
Big Data for a Tiny Trailer: Installing a Victron BMV-700
The new 2016 T@bs that are starting to come off of the line now and make their way to new owners have a battery monitor installed by the factory.

Well, with another 5,000+ mile trip under my belt, I learned a few more things and confirmed a few more things. My original plan of boondocking around Ouray was put off due to road construction that had the road south of town closed too much of the time to make it a very workable plan. […]

Chill Out! Lessons Learned From the Norcold Three Way Fridge
Do you ever feel like people just don’t understand you? I am quite sure the Norcold three-way fridges must feel that way quite often.
