A Journey of Passion and Discovery

12/23/2019

The journey is the joy! Within the journey you learn lessons. Solar 2.0! Flexi panel mount and power supplied just didn't cut it! #1 panels are expensive! #2 mounting to roof. You'll see in pics that the mount collected moisture underneath it and pulled the new roof coating up. #3 no option to tilt towards sun. So researched and reworked the system. Thankful for black Friday deals, scored a great deal on panels and components needed. Now I'm able to draw battery bank down and be fully recharged by 10am on partly sunny days. Also installed 12v usb fast charge ports along with 12v power ports, Which charge cell phone, 12v blender and computer. It's been a very cool journey learning about solar power and becoming independent from grid power(shore power) I'll share pics from the road shortly, keep following for more adventures in this thing I call my life!

As the adventure continues..... focused on replacing the exterior plastic fender skirts, installed a new locking power cable access door, painted the yellowing old plastics, custom built my entertainment center. Yes I now own a TV after almost five years of not owning one! 🤪 Also added some peg board on door clips that is removable to access the solar wires. It now stores my vacuum, this was just dead unused space above the frig. Oh yea can't forget the "Brush Creek" sign!

The fun continues! 400watts of solar panels, 3240watt hours of battery bank and a Mppt charger controller equals boondocking freedom! First step was to fix and prep the aluminium roof for its rubberized coating. Then three coats of coating and wow it looks better than new! Next was to install solar panel's on the roof. Now to wire everything and mount the charger controller. Cross your fingers and power up! No sparks or smoke? We all good!

Good morning everyone! Fresh juice in hand and time to continue sharing the prep done on the camping trailer "Home". Storage spaces created, insulated fresh water tank, cleaned up and painted trailer frame front and back, installed the battery box up front, which will hold 3,240 watt hours of power, oh yea can't forget the surprises along the way! It was finally warm enough to test the fresh water system and can you guess the surprise we found?

Water heater tank was split! Someone left water in the system before I owned it and it froze! Splitting the water heater tank!

So the trip to Grand Junction, CO. Included 40mph winds, ice, snow and a few white knuckles. 🤓 When I arrived in GJ we got surprised with the gift of my waste dump valves had been broken off the tanks! Yikes! Oh s**t! With some great advice and new technique learned we were able to repair the tanks and waste valves! First crisis averted without major $$$$ repairs.

So with my summer guide season at came to a close on October 26th, it was time to get south to warmer weather to be able to prep the camping trailer for full time use! As you can see, that was an adventure of its own. As we recieved 6" of fresh snow a couple days before I was to leave Saratoga, WY. for Grand Junction, CO. Big shout out to my brother from another mother for the moochdocking spot at his place! Let the upgrades begin!

So just over a month ago I purchased this 1993 KZ Sportsman 24ft. bumper pull camper for 1600$!! It needed some TLC but couldn't pass it up. Now it was time to make it full time rv ready!

It's been a really long time since any updates on this fb page! So here goes...

I will be sharing my journey to live a deliberate and fulfilling life! While traveling in a 24ft camping trailer full time with two GSP's named Annie and Bristol. Doing seasonal work for seasonal freedom! All the while pursuing my passions in the outdoors by chasing bird dogs and fly fishing.

Come along and join the ride.
