Can you take your RV on a ferry? Yep — and we've done it in the U.S., Canada, and even New Zealand. 🚐⛴️
From quick river crossings to big ocean ferries, it's usually doable, but there are a few things to know before you roll aboard: your height, total length, sometimes your weight, and almost always your propane setup.
Sometimes a ferry is the only way forward. Other times it just saves a bunch of driving. Either way, there's something pretty fun about taking your house on a boat.

Thirsty birdy! 💦

This curved-bill thrasher was hanging around while we filled our freshwater tank at Elephant Butte Lake State Park. On a guess that it was waiting for us to leave to get a drink from some of the water spillage, I offered it a bowl of water! We were in sight of the lake, so I don’t think water scarcity is a problem here, it seemed more like a opportunist thing ☺️

While admittedly not the prettiest bird we’ve seen, it has a magnificent song. 🎶

Hatch, New Mexico: where the chiles are legendary, the burritos are mandatory, and every shop is a rainbow of colorful ceramics. 🌶️🌯🎨

We came to admire the boats. The seal had other plans. 🦭💙

We followed one of New Mexico's most underrated scenic drives — from the Very Large Array and Highway 52, through Cibola National Forest, onto the Geronimo Trail Scenic Byway, and up to Emory Pass in the Gila National Forest.
This route packs in so much of what makes New Mexico fascinating: radio astronomy, Apache history, old mining towns, hot springs, desert basins, and high mountain forest — all within a relatively short stretch of road.
It's the kind of drive that reminds us why we love taking the slower route. Every curve seems to reveal a new layer of the landscape.
Have you driven the Geronimo Trail Scenic Byway?

How I added a manual override to our engine fan on our 2012 Ram 6.7, This truck likes to run warm on us when temps are higher and climbing, also when stationary without good airflow. My fix is a manual full-fan engagement switch. I can now engage the fan before the engine starts getting warm and it has stayed cool ever since. NOTE: If you want to do this you are powering the ECU circuit directly so i cannot guarantee it also sets a check engine light, I fused it at .5A and its been working well for about 6 months without issue.

At this point, boondocking has honestly spoiled us: there’s nothing like waking up in the morning, looking out the window, and realizing you’ve got a million-dollar view all to yourself. 🏜️
