Earlier this year we returned to our boondocking roots for a month in the deserts of Arizona in our bus. It was oh so wonderful to be out in nature, on our own and feeling abundant in the systems we had long ago setup on Zephyr.
From water management, tanks, solar and lithium – in this quick video (11m) we shared our tips for daily life stuff while boondocking.
There’s really not much new in this video that we’ve not shared before over the years in more extensive posts.
But if you want to follow up on any of these topics, here’s those posts:
- Solar Electrical Systems for RVs
- Lithium Ion Batteries for RV House Systems
- Big RV: Little Generator — Downsizing to a 2500W Propane Generator
- Earning Our Abundant Boondocking’ Merit Badge: Bus Renovation Report

- Big RV: Little Generator — Downsizing to a 2500W Propane Generator
- Why Yes — You Can have Scenic Views AND Great Internet
- Four Years Shampoo Free (It’s now been 13 years no poo!)
And a lot of the systems that make our boondocking possible were refits we did to the bus in 2015, which are summarized here:

And now.. fast forwarding back to present time, we’re still hanging out on our boat in Sanford, Florida and likely will be for many more months as we ride out hurricane season and the surge in COVID-19 cases. We’re keeping safe, healthy and continuing to be mostly isolated with purposeful outings, van trips and meet-ups.
With this post, we have worked through most of our past pre-filmed content. I might have some cross-country van-trip footage from last fall and spring I could work into something sensible. We’ll see, I haven’t even looked at what we filmed yet.
Let us know if there’s topics or content you’d like to see from us. Because I’m running out of ideas. 🙂
I always really enjoy your posts, Cherie. And that’s especially true in these days of hunkering down in our “sitcks & bricks.” And recycling old topics is fine with me, Maybe with a prolog/epilog on your related thoughts today? I can only imagine how difficult it must be to come up with new content in locked down times like these. Please stay well & stay safe.
Yep there are days lately that my blog seems like it will not have any content. With a little luck I will get out of west Texas soon and blog entries will get easier. Be careful over there on your nice boat, hurricane season is just getting going good. I have really enjoyed the Boat Boondocking information. I once thought I wanted to do that in a slightly different fashon, using a trailerable boat on lakes in the western USA. Have fun.
Love hearing from you. Enjoyed the Desert Bus update. Zephyr is amazing. Especially enjoyed the cameos of Kiki. Would enjoy hearing more about your daily routines.
Take care, be safe and be well.
it was nice to see the links. I followed a few just to dip my toes in the well of your knowledge Ty
Perhaps revisit some topics that now have changed. New interviews. Take care.
Keep yourself safe, Cherie. We’ll be here.
