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 […]

Dupuis Water Management Area, Indiantown (More Free Florida Boondocking) & The Dawn of Unlimited Cellular Data
We were inbetween reservations snagged around the state of Florida in prime winter season, which meant trying out another of Florida’s Free Boondocking locations. We were excited. A few days in a spot other bloggers had positively reported on this season. Perhaps we’d get some hiking in? Chill out. Relax. While it was only a couple […]
Dinner Island Ranch WMA – Free Florida Boondocking
My people are super busy this week doing work stuff (apparently, Verizon launched a new Unlimited Data Plan this week – and that’s kinda big news). So they told me I could be more useful if I caught up the blog, instead of annoying them to go for a walk constantly. Silly people. Ok, so […]
Earning Our ‘Abundant Boondocking’ Merit Badge: Bus Renovation Report
We’ve been having fun this winter putting our summer renovations to the test to see how much they impact our boondocking ability. We’ve had a few requests to share about some of our renovations from a boondocking perspective. Since we’ve now done several extended dry camping stops since the summer, it seems like a good […]
Boondocking Nirvana at Saddle Mountain BLM – Tonopah, AZ
We are blessed to have so many magical experiences in our lives on the road. It seems it’s one right after another sometimes. Amazing people, glorious views, wondrous experiences and great connectivity. It’s why we’re quickly sneaking up on 10 years on the road soon (10 Years?!?!) and still see no end in sight for us. […]
What can a Boondocker Learn from a Martian?
Last evening we hosted an outdoor movie night for our fellow Xscapers friends camped with us at the after-convergence here in Quartzsite. (The main convergence was a huge success, and several of us have retreated further into the desert to continue the bonding – only away from the freeway and much more spread out.) The movie selected […]
The Priceless Joys of Free & Cheap RV Camping
When I decided to join Chris on the road back in 2007, I really didn’t understand this whole full time RVing thing. I was used to weekend warrior type camping in my pop-up trailer. I made a reservation at a local state park, paid a fee, showed up, had neighbors 20-30 feet away with a […]
Winter 2015 Boondocking Location Round-Up
When we were first approaching our very first winter season in the desert southwest, we had big plans of hitting lots of awesome boondocking sites. There were so many incredible sounding locations on our radar, and we were anxious to check them all out. Looking back to create this round-up, I have to admit – […]
The (Almost) Fantasy of Solar-Powered RV Air Conditioning
We see the questions all the time – people wondering: What will it take to run an RV air conditioner off of solar power? We get asked for advice in email regularly, and see the topic constantly coming up on various forums. (And now the Wynn’s are claiming they’re doing it – they’re not really, see […]
By the Wrath of Killer Bunnies – Ajo’s Name Shall Be Erased from Your Vocabulary
There’s always a risk that when a blogger shares about an amazing location, that so many folks will put it on their must-see list and what once made it a magical place – will go away. We’ve seen it happen, RVers following the trails left behind by those before them.. and then wham, the next time that […]
