We are The Flying Hens!
Mr. Hen is a pilot and we enjoy using those flight benefits to show our children the world. In 2020, we started our most epic adventure yet! We sold everything we owned to travel around the country in our RV. This road trip lasted 3 years, and we visited many amazing places. Now, we've settled into a house again, but are still taking trips (via airplane and RV) to places near and far.

I would suggest measuring your shelf spaces and going more vertical with your bins to increase your storage capacity. Great organization video!
What is the paint color on the cupboards in the kitchen?
So nice!
❤❤❤love it
In a living space that's so small, you did a good job of making it country cozy.
Can't wait to wake up with some maniac on my roof watching me sleep 🤩
This camper is nicer than my apartment.
It looks amazing but I bet it would be such a pain getting that around UK roads 😂👌
Do you need a special license to pull a beast that size?
Thank you so much! My dog had eaten the directions!
Patriot my ass the guts of this machine made in China. It’s deceiving marketing by the company patriot my ass.
You’re right. That ain’t Texas, we drive the real trucks.
You use a truck as a passenger car... you ain't hauling shit. Enjoy the free upgrade
man those Rivians are awesome though
We are looking to buy a cyclone. Have you had problems finding parks due to its size?
Love your upgrades! We just got our 2017 Cyclone and I can't wait to start making some changes to brighten up the space 🧡
Thank you! You'll be amazed at how much paint can really help brighten the room and make it feel homey!
Made using Chinese parts!! How patriot is that??
Have you had any problems with the side in a side in the bedroom
For how long do you plan to keep living in thise rv?
Very nice video our junk shower glass door shattered into a million pieces on a recent move thanks for video im doing this Now thanks again
What is the length on this?
Very cool setup. I love the solar system. How do you like the ford truck for towing ? What year is it and have you had any issues with the truck towing such a large trailer?
Hello what a beautiful remodel can you please tell me what color you used on your kitchen cabinets?
It is Sherwin Williams Evergreen Fog.
👍
I have their new CTC300 and I've got leaks everywhere. It appears that they over tightened the fittings and split the brass female fittings. They won't respond to my emails.
Is this one for sale by chance?
Soon!
yessss
What do you use to lock in your Peloton when you are moving? I am trying to decide if I can secure my bike when I buy my rig so I can take it with me. Thank you!
Great tour!
thats not a rv it's a trailer
Do ya'll travel full-time? If so, what do you do for your income source?
I like Tolona Ridge I’ve had a great stay there.
Funny thing: I'm not tall (5'5"), and whenever I saw videos of the Clearsource Ultra I thought "well, that's a reasonable size for a 3 stage water filter", so I got one... Turns out everyone showcasing these things must be Sasquatch size because it is hefty.
What did you do with the lighting above the cabinets that were mounted in the wood “accent” pieces? We’re removing the wood but don’t want to lose the lighting!!
Good primer for newbies with lots of great info. I enjoyed it. We're retired FT RVers who love to boondock most of the time (we're off-grid now.) We decided to build our solar/battery system in 2 phases, a 12v phase for our basic 12v needs and a 48v system for our A/C high power needs. We just completed the first phase in January, with the addition of a custom built 560ah of LiFePo-4 battery, made with 8, 280ah prismatic cells. We used a Heltec 350amp BMS, to start the onboard 5,500watt generator in our motorhome, along with a 5a active balancer to keep the cells synched up. We built our 12v battery with grade "A" LiFePo-4 prismatic cells having a 6,000 cycle manufacturer projected life at 100% DOD. This means that if we cycled them 100% every single day, 365 days a year, they would last over 16 years! So, they're obviously going to wear out from age before they wear out from cycling. It only cost us $1,500 to build this 560ah battery, including the high amp BMS. The main reason we chose these cells is that they fit perfectly under the steps of our motorhome where our old pair of GC-2 golf cart batteries used to reside, saving 35lbs while having over 5 times the energy storage capacity. We insulated the battery compartment, cut a 1" hole in our step risers and installed a tiny computer CPU fan to keep this space at close to room temperature, so we don't have to worry about the BMS shutting down charging if they get too cold - or their life reduced from getting too hot. We started our build 4 years ago with a 620-watt liftable array mounted on the side of our motorhome. It serves as a nice bedroom window awning too. It practically lifts itself to the desired angle with a couple gas struts and it's easy to clean with a windshield squeegee, standing safely on the ground. Lifting an array to the correct angle for latitude and month, produces 25-30% more power than a flat mounted array - even more in winter when the sun is low on the horizon. We typically use about 15% of our battery's capacity each day. We've found they charge much faster than our old lead acid batteries did and are typically full before 1:00. This first phase, including the liftable array, wiring, breakers, a new Progressive Dynamics 80a Li compatible converter/charger, a 600w PSW inverter (to run our TV and PC), an Epever 50a MPPT charge controller for our solar panels, a Lnex battery monitor/shunt, and a Renogy battery to battery charger (to protect the alternator) cost us around $3,600. By mounting our current solar array on the side of our MH, we left the roof free to rack 8, 460W bifacial solar panels down the length of our 35ft Class A. The front side of these is rated at 460 watts with up to 25% additional wattage output from reflected light on the back side, for a total of up to 575 watts, depending on how they are mounted. We will be racking ours about 13" off the roof to clear our front AC shroud and vents. This clearance should conservatively produce another 10% output off the back of these bifacial panels, from sunlight reflected off our white roof - more during off-peak hours and in the winter. It will give us some nice shade too, reducing the heat load on our air conditioners. Our MH is only 11' 9", so we will be able to keep the RV height to about 12". Rather than buying individual components, we will be using a Sungold Power all-in-one 48V, 5,000W, 120V PSW Inverter, 80a MPPT charge controller with a 40a A/C battery charger. The reason we chose this all-in-one is because the idle power consumption is only 25 watts - and it's only $800. Our 48v battery bank will use 16, 310ah prismatic cells (15.9Kwh.) So together with our 560ah (7.1 Kwh)12v bank, we will have a total of 23Kwh of batteries onboard. We will be replacing our old rear 13.5k btu rooftop Dometic AC with a super high-efficiency 12k Btu 48v DC mini-split heat pump that only draws 750 watts at peak output and less than 500 watts when it's cooling normally. This second phase will cost about $10k, including the heat pump, as we plan on doing all the work ourselves. Our 2nd phase will provide 24/7 off-grid air conditioning and supplemental heat from the heat pump and allow occasional usage of our front rooftop AC to cool things down for peak afternoon demand, as well as give us whole house 120v ac power. This will give us total off-grid electrical independence, allowing us to keep our generator in reserve for emergency use only.
Did you ever think about putting out a list of all of the connections you used? I am sitting here trying to write everything down and going crazy. This is exactly the video I have spent hours searching for but I unfortunately don't take shorthand. Great job and I appreciate what you've done. Parts list? Please?
Do you have a link for the butterfly valves? Hard to tell what size they are. That's the only thing keeping me from doing this for my next big boondocking trip. Also what else did you need to add for the water hose attachments?
I love your color choices. How do you give your girls' privacy when they are sleeping? I didn't see a curtain rod or curtains.
Thank you. There's no privacy. They just sleep in their beds.
Best walk through and explaining everything. Good set up
Thanks. We see a lot of walk-throughs that are so quick or skip things. I just wanted to be thorough.
Do you need an external mic sound is terrible
We used an external mic. The sound wasn't bad. Was there anything you couldn't hear or understand, specifically?
Cool truck
Thanks.
Love everything you did!! Where did you get the wood trim for the slide out?
Thank you! That's just 1 x 6s and 1 x 8s from a hardware store that we stained.
To old technology! Not worth the price!
Beautiful job. Do you guys have a solar components list?
I would need to track it all down. I should add it to the details/description of the video, shouldn't I?
The title says "boondocking"...
Yes.... do you have a question or comment?
Yes, those are designated campgrounds (with tables and fire rings). That's not boondocking at all. I was pointing out that your title is deceptive.
Good afternoon sir we just purchased the Intech expedition with the solar package. I know it’s not enough to dry camp or boondock for weeks on end unless I have perfect sun which we know isn’t going to happen. My question to you is if I buy a portable generator and use it like you said in the morning and before bed will that recharge my lithium batteries if I have no sun. We have the Expion lithium batteries with the Zamp solar
If your RV's charger is compatible with lithium batteries, anything you plug the RV shore power into will charge you batteries. If the lithium batteries are the original equipment on the RV, then your charger is compatible with lithium. Therefore, plugging your RV into a generator will charge your batteries.
Thankyou so much for sharing! We're looking forward to getting the 4007 soon 😀
Glad you liked it.
It is really nice water dump and garbage loved it
Which spot are you referring to?
You can a much better model for much less $$$ please don't buy this product from this company, they are made in China, and if you don't believe me look in to you're self.
4Patriot products are made in China, and are junk!
