Our $14,000 OFF GRID Solar System Can’t Keep Up!

Boondocking off-grid is one thing. Dispersed camping when the sun barely shows up is another. We’re in the middle of a boondocking challenge, and days of clouds and rain are putting our brand new solar powered RV to the test. Can we stretch our power far enough to keep the off grid RV challenge going? We also explore a Wild West ghost town (with Oatman Arizona donkeys!) and catch a sunset at the London Bridge… the one in Lake Havasu City Arizona, not England.

We're Joe + Kalyn! As online entrepreneurs, we thought, "why not work from home... on the road"? So in 2019, we bought and renovated a 2005 Jayco Designer Fifth Wheel, which took us to every state in the lower 48. But the economy hit our business especially hard after the 'vid, spurring us to pivot in new directions and try different strategies, including various RV work camping jobs that helped keep us on the road and funded the biggest RV trip of our lifetime—Alaska. We recently upgraded to a Brinkley Z3515 (yes, the RV with office space!). Subscribe to our RV living channel to find out what's next! We love boondocking in remote locations, adventuring through the national parks, and uncovering hidden gems, all while sharing the reality of full-time RV Life and making you laugh along the way. We participate in several affiliate programs. If you make a purchase through any of our links, we receive a small commission at no extra cost to you!
