Two weeks of full tanks, a 36-gallon tote, a macerator pump, one leaky starter hose, and a mess we now call the Poopsie. Here's the tote-and-macerator workflow that finally worked for us.
Last day of boondocking, so naturally we cleaned every AC filter and ceiling fan in the rig, then skipped our Harvest Hosts plan for a casino parking lot. The slots were bad. The sleep was great.
Tiny roads, soft grass, and a 40-foot fifth wheel: our back-in at Richard Bong State Recreation Area took twelve minutes of video to resolve. Then Wisconsin got good.
Our first Cracker Barrel overnight, the actual numbers from our CAT scale weigh-in, some math about water weight, and an insect invasion that hitched a ride from the last campground.
The final week of our 15-day boondocking challenge almost ended early: shaded solar panels, sinking batteries, a truck generator that wouldn't cooperate, and a rescue we didn't expect.
Moving day in the middle of our 15-day boondocking challenge: a failed water stop at Love's, our first CAT scale weigh-in, exotic animals at Safari Wilderness, and Fabiola's first drive in the F-350.
Our fresh tank said empty, so we grabbed buckets and measured what was really in there. Plus a finicky tire pressure gadget, a siphon experiment, and packing up for a travel day at Dupuis.
Day one of our 15-day boondocking challenge: we pick up the Brinkley with its brand-new solar and battery system, drive to Dupuis, and learn that setting up off-grid is nothing like parking at a campground.
