I do the repairs, updates and upgrades myself. I’ve become my own RV Mechanic/Medic! I seek boondocking opportunities every chance I can and power the RV with 500 watts of solar and approximately 500 amp hours of batteries. RV Resorts are just not our style!

    You get better mileage with premium. I have a 4x4 Tahoe with 5.3 and I get almost 14mpg, city. 20 freeway. Especially with a bigger rig, you need higher octane gas, because premium is what regular used to be ,and not as good as it was 20 years ago.

    I check mine at every fill up and have since 2006. It gives me a good idea of what is going on with my baby, 2003 CRV. I figure you lost 2-3 miles per gallon. Peace Out.

  • @pattiwhite9575
    @pattiwhite9575 5 месяцев назад

    Sure is nice out there in the woods. It would look even better with some clearing of small trees. Leaving the larger ones to grow bigger. I wonder how many RV sites you could install on the old property? Need to spray for ticks and fleas.

    Dave, I learned about hail….I take a large Coleman cot mattress and use good screw type tarp clamps at four corners with rope pieces about four feet and buggies cords to place one across my windshield and another hail pad I call it across my hood. It easy to hold it in place by buggies to wheel wheel and door handles et. It worked twice. I store them for extra padding under my rig mattress. Glad u ok. The tarp clamps have a hole for biggie cords.

    That was a crazy storm🫣😳. I would have so enjoyed messing about up there even just 5 years ago, enjoy every day Dave, as you know anything can happen at any time. I loved having a fire and cleaning up all the deadfall come spring, back then we burnt the whole yard to get some nitrogen into the soil.
    I can’t even mow now which annoys me because they always seem to run out of gas by the time they got to my part of the yard 😤and it ended up like a hay field.
    I bought a rechargeable groomer last year with a bunch of different blades and adapters so I won’t let it get so bad this year. I have a phobia for bugs……has gotten worse as ticks have become a big problem here so high grass freaks me out. I even got a mesh suit last fall so I can get out and enjoy my yard this year. 🤞
    Hope all goes well as you get the farm cleared out this summer, it would be great if the family goes camping there, the little ones would so enjoy it. Getting to have a sleepover camp with Grandad would be a cherished memory. 🙋🏼‍♀️🥰

    Get pieces of carpet to put on your solar panels & windshields during hail storms.

    With the way campground prices have been rising it’s a great idea to use the property you already have. Good move.

    Hey Dave. You need a metal building to cover the vehicles with solar panels. It would be worth the investment!

    • @pattiwhite9575
      @pattiwhite9575 5 месяцев назад

      FOR SURE. Done right it could be a water catchment system also. You have all the electronics to hook up to for a tankless water heater. Showers!

    Day trips in the Fiesta with a small trailer might be more economical. I had a 4x8 or 10 single open snowmobile trailer that had very low sides. I pulled with a 2007 New Beetle TDI. I can't remember how high the fenders were but something like that might fit a riding mower with the deck raised. I think I went from 40ish to 36ish MPG towing whatever I put behind that car. Also lost a couple MPGs with kayak racks on the roof going down the highway.

    Nice spot Dave, I noticed your mower smoking I have one of those chineseum motors also. They have a tendency to foul the air filter with oil. I wash mine and blow out the filter occasionally. Nice land.
