We purchased our travel trailer one-year ago with the intention of living in it for about a year and "seeing how it goes." It was more of a "thought" than anything - a "dream" so to speak. A really, really, long road trip. Then, after quite a bit of research, we just went for it.…

Shafer Trail – Moab, Utah
Planning a trip to Canyonlands National Park soon? Here's a spine-chilling journey down the Shafer Trail in Moab, Utah. I believe this is the most dangerous road in the United States. It was so worth it! Highly recommended. Absolutely stunning vista around the 2-minute mark. I'd hit the "gear" icon and select 720 or 1080p.…

Off Grid Must – Dual 6-volt Deep Cycle Batteries
Trailer life has been incredible. Much like owning a home, you have little challenges along the way. Our battles in the beginning were learning how to deal with water and power . Conquering this power battle has been a fun little challenge. From the onset of owning this trailer, the on board battery supply on this…
Selecting a Travel Trailer
So, you're interested in a travel trailer or RV, and you're wondering which size or type to get.... If you're still deciding between a RV or travel trailer - see my article here. We received a bit of sound advice from a salesman before we made our purchase, and two months into this lifestyle, I concur…
Planning The Next Adventure
We've thoroughly enjoyed the first two months of living in this trailer. From 6'500 feet elevation in the Angeles National Forest to sea level in Palm Desert, the past two months has been a nice little crash course with regard to RV living. The reality is.. this lifestyle is shockingly easy. As the saying goes, less is more.…
The One Downside to Trailer Life
We are two months into our adventure - and it's been a rather incredible journey so far. Time is just flying right past us, and sometimes it's hard to slow down and absorb everything that happens each day. We brought the trailer to the forests and survived a few fires. Then, we were denied a spot…
Goodbye Palm Desert
It probably wasn't the brightest idea to venture into the desert during the middle of the summer, but much like our experience in the Angeles National Forest, we learned a lot from our month stay in Palm Desert. Truth be told, we came here for hot springs, and they were well worth the heat, and…
Surviving the Forest Fires
It's amazing how many forest fires occur without ever being reported. Fire fighters are truly amazing, and horribly under appreciated people. Los Angeles is a gigantic slab of concrete, but to the West, North, and East, there are large forests just awaiting the adventurous souls who make their way out into the wilderness. The Angeles National…
Finally Settled…
It took us a few weeks but we're finally settled. What seemed like forever, a gradual process of removing items from our apartment and into the trailer finally culminated in large pile of items in our living room that we did not need. A bit of trash, a bit of Goodwill, more trash, some storage,…
