    Very nice. The advances in solar with lifepo batteries and led lighting has made boondocking so much better.

    Going on 8 years fulltime on the road excusivly boondocking only in every weather condition in a NL 9-6-Q, I have had the bed and dinette thermal plastic windows blown off from gusty winds. The big dinette window henge got bent somewhat from a whirl wind to where it would not lockdown properly and as I was caught in heavy winds passing through Cameron. Az. the big window got blown off. I replaced it with a sliding window because gusty winds will destroy push out windows. never trust a desert breeze because it can turn into a whirl wind quickly, catching you off guard, this has happened many times in my boondocking experiences. also the wind will flip up the overhead bed vent/escape hatch. to stop this, rap a short Bungie around the lift bar and hook it out side to the sealing lip edge. NL's are great but the windows suck and need to be reengineered for real time windy conditions.
    There are a few more small quirks to consider too, If we cross paths somewhere out there I'll tell you my fix's.
    Have a Marry Christmass and a prosperous Trump New Year mah-man.

      Totally agree about the windows. Plus, they scratch much easier than glass and are hella expensive to replace. I opted for glass sliders and happy I did so.

    Norther Lite is great quality! Canadians make a well built product. These are very similar to Bigfoot campers as Northern Lite was started by ex-bigfoot employees in 1989. Both campers were built in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. The two factories were only 40 miles apart. Bigfoot expanded into trailers and motorhomes and really grew the business only to have the banks pull their financing during the 2008 recession, they had over 200 employees. It has since been revived by Bigfoot’s former Operations Manager, who bought all the molds, hired a few of the best staff and started making campers and trailers again in 2010. Norther Lite was a lot smaller and weathered the financial downturn. There is a lot of employee pride in Northern Lite over the years, but the original owner Mac Donkin sold it to a private equity firm in 2017 and it changed hands again in 2022. Hopefully the quality is still as good as the old ones.

    Hey Mark, That's a nice TC you have there. I did notice you need to wipe off your solar panels, must keep them clean for max power production. I was wondering, you have the Onan generator but you had something plugged into your shore power so I'm guessing you were running the Honda generators and not using the Onan. The Onan is pretty loud and vibrates noise throughout the camper. I just installed a 250 amp alternator on my truck which can produce up to 3300 watts and it was easy, 350.00 bucks. Get a dc to dc charger and it will take care of all your energy needs. Hopefully see you at the TC Rally. Take care...

    • @DispersedCamperMan
      @DispersedCamperMan  День назад +1

      Hey Jeff! I do need to get those solar panels cleaned up before heading out west for sure. I still mainly use my Honda Generators when I need to use one. I'm not going to use my onboard generator very often, going to try and keep the hours as low as possible. I'll crank it up every once in a while to exercise it. I'm heading to Arizona next week, make my way slowly to Quartzsite for the truck camper rally. Safe Travels!

If I had to say something, I would have to say the Dragoon Mountains. Beautiful scenery and lots of history in that area. I make it a habit to stop by there when I'm traveling through. I've been there twice, and planning on going there again. Another one would be Ironwood Forest National Monument. Beautiful scenery and lots and lots of saguaro cactus. I even found a crested saguaro cactus while there. Safe Travels Kenny
