8 DAYS OFF-GRID Boondocking Newbies EP. 3

[@davidelin89]

Absolutely loving the new adventures on the hard! You both have such a passion for adventure and your excitement and happiness to experience new things is totally awesome! I'm really loving how you guys are showing all the new things you're learning about your trailer and all of its functions! Try not to worry and stress too much, the Xterra seems to be doing great and if you continue to take your time and be careful everything will be great! Really loving these new adventures of a lifetime!

[@adventures]

So glad you are enjoying the new adventure! We are loving it as well 🤩 I am trying to worry less and I think I will once we have a few drives under out belt! We are so excited for all of the adventures to come :)

[@eschaufler1]

I've been RV'ing for years now so I hope you don't mind a few suggestions. 1. Never hitch up or level the trailer with the stairs out. You run the real risk of ripping them right out of the mounting points in your floor. 2. Never travel with a full water tank. There are just a couple thin metal straps holding it in. That's fine if you are stationary but bouncing down the road puts a lot of stress on them and it's not unheard of for the tanks to just fall out when full and driving. With your 50 gallon tank those little aluminum straps are holding in over 400 pounds. Most parks will have a water fill near the entrance you can use once you get there or possibly a rest area near your destination. 3. Paper plates are your friend. You don't have to use water to wash them. 4. The light by your cable hook up is your antenna booster. There should be a small button on the plate that turns it off and the light will go out. 5. Your gauges lie. You'll get to know when your grey and black tanks are full by the sound they make. Fresh water always reads empty before you actually run out. I don't even bother looking at our gauges anymore since both the grey and black have been stuck at 1/2 since our trailer was 2 months old. They just are not reliable. You guys did great. Glad you enjoyed yourselves. And welcome to the RV world.

[@adventures]

Good morning and thank you so much for all of the tips!! They are very appreciated especially the tip about the stairs, I haven’t thought of that. We are having a blast so far and can’t wait to share more adventures on the road :)

[@jakewozniak9682]

In case you aren’t doing so a tip: When towing, in all but flat highway conditions, make sure to turn off your cars overdrive. Towing with the overdrive on can burn up the transmission.

[@adventures]

Thank you for this! We actually were just googling this last week and learned to turn it off. We definitely want to take good care of the car!

[@jhendric98]

Recommendation #1: Buy a nice 18V drill and a socket that fits the jacket stabilizers. Saves tons or time!

[@adventures]

We have the drill, just need the socket!! It’s on the list

[@Shaneodell35]

I loved your channel when you were on your dad's boat. I love Nordhavn, Wasn't sure when you switched to land. But Love your channel still. Congrats on your new home. You are on the west coast. I live on the east but used to live on the west. Go north to Canada when the borders open. It is amazing. Thank you for your channel.!!!! Enjoy!!!!

[@adventures]

Wow this makes my day 💕 I know that this is much different than life on the water but I really feel like there are still sooo many amazing things to share! And yes I cannot wait to get up to Canada it is a spectacular country 🤩

[@meatdamilkman]

Yes Canada is amazing and beautiful but you definitely need to tour Vancouver Island!!!! Its one of the Jewels of North America!!!!!

[@adventures]

YES!! I couldn’t agree more. It’s definitely on our list! Can’t wait for those borders to open

[@glexplorer9002]

You guys have such a great attitude just let it happen! No worries you guys have this. You had excellent training planning and mindset from the Nordhavn

[@adventures]

Yes the boat prepared us well! and yes we try to just roll with the punches the best we can

[@karlkohler234]

Odell Lake looks so beautiful! Great video guys!

[@adventures]

It was stunning! Definitely a place to go back to. And glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@fchck040]

Awesome trip! You guys must be in Heaven! Thanks for sharing! TJ did good backing in the trailer. Just a hint. You could hook up the trailer light chord to your suv, & start it, & let it idle in park to charge the batteries in your camper. It would burn some gas, but it could get you out of a bind! Once again, I really loved your video!

[@adventures]

It was a fun week for sure! And yes we really are loving it soooo much! Thank you for the idea! We thought of that as well on the third day but then luckily we’re able to squeeze by until we moved campgrounds!! So glad you enjoyed the video

[@VivOffGrid]

WOW so glad you were next to an ex-college baseball player!!! Keep us updated on the drone xoxo

[@adventures]

I know what are the cha few of that!?! Sooo lucky and it still flys and is totally fine somehow…it’s magic

[@terryt5512]

Congratulations and well done! Very enjoyable video, as always. 😊

[@adventures]

Thanks for watching so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@tomcraddock244]

Just use a 5 gal. bucket of lake water to wash dishes in and rinse with fresh.get more solar.either on top or something you can move to catch the sun.some jerrycans of fresh water would help also.you guys do great and in time you’ll figure out all kinds of tricks.the RV community is like the boating community so there’s plenty of help around.happy camping ⛺️ !!

[@adventures]

The water smelled a little fishy which is why we opted not to use it but at a clean and clear stream I would be all about it!! We have 2 5 gallons jugs that we can put water in. And thanks glad we aren’t doing too bad for total newbies hahaha

[@TheTuatara]

just started your video, at the 10 min mark. little tip . when directing the driver reversing , if you look at the front wheels , the edge facing you , the direction they point is the direction the trailer is headed . Loved your boat life , looking forward to the new adventures .

[@adventures]

Thanks yea my directions were pretty horrible. I’m sure I’ll look back in a year and really laugh watching this 😂 thanks for the tip!! And we are excited for this next chapter too!! Glad to have you along for the ride :)

[@tracksidebc5854]

You should consider getting a "Jackery" power bank or similar.

[@adventures]

I’ve heard of those! We are definitely looking into our options but first want to see what our needs are really going to be so that we don’t end up having to purchase multiple items!

[@tracksidebc5854]

Natalie, great video, great scenery. Suggestions for the X: get a radiator flush and a transmission flush. Change the oil often. Don’t t fill the water tank until you are at or close to your destination when if possible, water is heavy. This also applies to the fuel tank. You don’t need a full tank of gas to go thirty miles. Plan ahead, something you’re pretty good at!

[@adventures]

So glad you enjoyed it and those are some great tips! We tried to find a closer place to fill up with water but weren’t able to so we had to haul it up the mountain but yes our plan going forward is not to travel with full water tanks

[@davidelin89]

What a drone rescue! Well done TJ and friendly neighbor! Thank God, you guys don't want to lose your drone, especially after successfully flying it all over the ocean around Encore! I knew TJ would figure out a way to get it back!

[@adventures]

I still can’t believe we got it back. I was 99% sure that it was long gone but wow sooo happy that it was retrieved! Tj gets very determined lol

[@cruisingdirtstar]

Awesome video, well done you three!

[@adventures]

Thanks 😊 glad you enjoyed it!!

[@protocolofficer2629]

Such a great video. Thanks for taking us all along to the camp sites, lakes, chipmunks and water conservancy. You make it look easy. Cheers, Colin.

[@adventures]

You are very welcome thanks for joining along! So glad you enjoyed the video and of course Camo hunting chipmunks lol 😆

[@jeffro43ify]

I've been following you guys from the start. I LOVED YOUR CRUISING ADVENTURES! I'm a Avid RV camper, I have a truck camper currently and tow behind that, horses ,ATV, boat ECT. If you need any help from a old guy let me know 🐟. Cheers.

[@adventures]

Oh wow you have it all going on! So glad you enjoyed the cruising videos and thank you for the offer!! When we need help good to know who to ask :)

[@jeffro43ify]

Thanks! I'm sure you're going to be getting a ton of advice and mine is get a good cordless drill for the jacks , lube the jacks with a little grease occasionally and some basic tools, wood saw, squeegee like at a gas station.You guys have good instincts, you're going to learn by doing . I'll be watching 😁

[@adventures]

Yes we do have a whole slew of tools with us but still need a few things that are more RV/trailer centric! And we have the drill for the jacks we just need the socket! When we get to more civilization That’s on the list! Lol

[@michae8jackson378]

I'm glad you answered the power of the fridge question. That's what I was wondering the whole video LOL. Loved this... what a great first expedition! Stay safe!

[@adventures]

Glad your question got answered!! So glad you enjoyed the first big journey in the new home 😊

[@peterdodge6563]

Glad to see you guys so happy your first time off grid. Beautiful camp sites. Camo seems hugely happy too. Such a nice start to new adventures.

[@adventures]

Yes we are LOVING it!! And Camo is obsessed with the new lifestyle, so glad you enjoyed it 😁

[@lyman135]

I think if you use it sparingly for just the basics like lights, water pump, etc you will find the battery has plenty of capacity for a few days. Especially since all your lights are LED they don't draw much.

[@adventures]

Yes I agree now that we have used them a little bit and understand our battery capacity better. We just had no idea at first! lol 😂

[@sunshine_and_flowers]

I love how positive you both are, it’s great to see you on a new adventure!

[@adventures]

We try to just roll with the punches the best we can! And yes we are so excited for this next adventure as well :)

[@dougwalker3754]

You can open your gray tank at night just let it trickle out at the campground as long as it’s a gray water they don’t usually mind just let it trickle out it’ll be empty by morning

[@adventures]

I would prob consider doing that if we weren’t right next to a lake, but thanks for the idea I don’t know if I would have thought of that otherwise lol

[@sitchad]

SO here's the deal with boondocking/dry camping and us. We have 100gals fresh water, 4 house batteries and a 265W solar panel. BUT we each must shower at least once a day. preferably twice a day, I know odd but it's just a thing. So dry camping for us is 1 day maybe 2 if we use paper plates, LOL. Great video, you guys will love exploring in an RV/Travel Trailer. The gauges for tanks are really not very accurate.

[@adventures]

Hey nothing wrong with knowing what you like and want and sticking to it! At least you can get off grid for a day or two if you want to, and if not there are plenty of awesome places with hook ups! And yes we are quickly learning how not act those gauges are 😂😆🤷🏼‍♀️

[@debbresnahan321]

It’s hilarious you r going to show black tank flush etc. loved watching u all on Dad’s boat but I’m a camper. I think it will b fun to watch u all go thru this transition. ❤️👍🏽

[@adventures]

Lol don’t worry we won’t show that! Just the grey tank, we don’t want you to lose your dinner 🤣 so glad you are enjoying the new videos! It’s definitely a whole new thing for us

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

@@adventures I don’t mean to ever leave you out of any compliments, beautiful Natalie 🥰!

[@funtrain23]

Got really lucky with the drone! Really lucky with the big stingray, too, in the previous episode. I don’t think you need to be so anxious all the time, constantly worrying about car can’t tow or boat gets lost. Worrying doesn’t help, just prep the best you can.

[@adventures]

Yes lucked out majority!! I can’t believe we got it back and that it still works 😱 and yes I know I’m working on it, I just want to make sure that everything is working properly but I cannot lie that the boat made me very anxious about a lot of things and now that I’m back on land and not worried about the boat crashing in the middle of the night I’m definitely relaxing a lot :)

[@mmcouture01]

Xterra is a real truck with great 4 L V6 . Everything about this is a truck so no worries!

[@adventures]

Thank you! That’s what I needed to hear ☺️

[@renodowns5256]

If you buy a truck make sure it’s a 3/4 ton or better. I would go for a 1 ton. Camo rules. When off grid try paper plates. I did not think you would make it 8 days. I give you guys an A and Camo an A+ for finding the chipmunks.

[@adventures]

Our camper is pretty light but it is always better to have more power than you need, I’ll agree with that. And it may take more work but I don’t like disposable plates, trying to limit how much I put in the garbage so for now we will trickle water to wash the dishes hahaha 🤣 And thank you!! I was really proud of us as well!! and Camo was on a mission. The campground chipmunk hunter lol

[@artat777]

Great video now I think if you found a good used truck like a Honda Ridgeline which are really great on gas and great storage room.If you put a topper on back you could carry a kayak on top plus have way more storage room and way more towing advantage then that Xterra. Don’t get me wrong I like the Xterra but having a truck is going to make your life a lot easier.

[@adventures]

Yeah I agree that the extra space in the bed would help out a lot. Ahhhh decisions decisions!

[@ldirk58601]

Was it just me that had sooo many ads? I loved this long video. So many things to see and do and learn. We occasionally use our small Honda gens and they are so quiet and last all day on one tank. Another idea might be to carry a spray bottle and a squeegee for your windows. Do you listen to books as you drive? The secret life of trees will blow your mind! Do dishes as you shower. One washes the next guy rinses :-) I am sure you will acquire so many useful hacks as you go. Great video!

[@adventures]

Ahh sorry about that! If we forget to edit the adds then KZbin just puts them in wherever we want, we may have been uploading this video Monday night and we’re a little behind schedule lol 😆 wow so many great tips! The dishes in the shower…I’m intrigued! Might have to give that a go! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@petermerrick5644]

If you are using lead acid batteries when they wear out you should consider switching to AGM batteries? Interstate makes them, also check out Lifeline and Northstar. I would guess the house batteries on the Nordhavn were AGM. I have a friend who uses a drone to film houses for realtors he lost a few drones in the early days he used a wrist rocket slingshot and fishing rod with a rubber weight to recover his equipment with mixed results. Have fun be safe!

[@adventures]

Good things for us to look into! Thank you for the tips and suggestions! That’s so funny with the rocket slingshot haha! I love it

[@captainron3494]

Help yall out 1. Wash with later water rinse with fresh water. Bath with lake water rinse off with shower.. and on power buy another battery two better than one

[@adventures]

We have 2 batteries, we know we would be off grid a lot so we got another when we picked up the trailer and the lake water was a little fishy smelling so we didn’t want to bathe with it this time, but at a clean lake or river I’m all about it!!

[@steveprice4779]

While in Oregon be sure not to miss Crater Lake. Being able to go off grid is cool but a small Honda or Yamaha generator is a great tool to have and you'll have it for life. Takes the stress out of power worries. Also why are you guys not using the lake for bathing. I grew up at Priest lake in North Idaho and our family of 9 always used the lake even though we had indoor plumbing. Good save on the drone... stay safe😎

[@adventures]

We were planning on heading there after this stop , but unfortunately the forest fires in the area got bad and the smoke get really heavy so we had to reroute so that we could stay away from the smoke but it is DEFINITELY high on the to do list for next time around

[@adventures]

And idk why we did not go in the lake to shower, it was a little dirty and smelled like fish so I think that is what deterred us. I’m usually the first to get into lakes when they are crystal clear 😍

[@Tom-px4fn]

Maybe one more solar panel would help to top off your batteries each day. The fridge does use 12 volt too.

[@adventures]

Yeah we are thinking one more on the top and then maybe also one on the ground that we can move around and into the sun if we are parked in the shade. And actually out fridge only runs off of propane or shore power, maybe it’s because it’s bigger?

[@xwiick]

it aint lost when you know where it is.

[@adventures]

Lol touché

[@Mars_Life_and_Beings]

Natalie's cooking has led to a food coma. Thank God.

[@adventures]

Haha that boy can really eat. We almost never have leftovers 😂

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Cool new episode!! Stay safe AoF team! COOL Bald Eagle!! Beautiful waterfall!! Drone drama... noooo... :( Nice toss camping neighbor!! Wonder if you could get movable solar panels with some cable so you could move it to a sunny location and run it back to the camper?? you need to get some propane gauges for the tanks so you know how much you have remaining for them. Camo is such a cool dog lol :)

[@adventures]

Yay so glad you enjoyed it!! And yes that is exactly what we are thinking of getting for a solar panel that way we can park in the shade but still get charged by solar :) and I did it know about propane gauges, we will have to look into that

[@jhendric98]

Recommendation #2: Get a battery shunt and meter to keep an eye on the discharge/charge rate. My overhead lights are LED and use almost nothing from the batteries.

[@adventures]

That’s a great idea! Definitely something we will be getting in the future for sure!

[@Tretz624]

Another way to do dishes, rather than letting it run, fill the sink or a washtub with about 2-3 inches. Then heat a kettle of water to boiling. Wash with that then do the same with rinsing. It will not be much water. You need a second drone to dislodge the first drone, 😃.

[@adventures]

Hmmm okay I see the method there, thanks for the tip! Hahah honestly we did need that. Thankfully a pro baseball player works too 😂🙌🏼

[@Tretz624]

@@adventures this was the method my mother in law used. She lived on a farm and used well water. They had to conserve. 🙂

[@adventures]

Farmers are very thrifty and I love them for it!

[@fromnh6634]

In a pinch you can always hook up the trailer to the car and charge that way.

[@adventures]

Yes! Thanks for pointing that out, we thought of that a day before we moved campsites but thankfully we’re able to hold out until we moved :)

[@JustMe-gn3mu]

After being on a boat I am sure this is different but you gota work on your directions. ha ha. Thanks for the giggle.

Ahhh that does make sense. Good to know! Thanks :)

[@badasscouger3]

Remember it is not the volts but the amps to keep track of. Your lights should be led in the camper. Use the utilities as normal to figure out what you can and can’t do

[@adventures]

Awesome thank you so much!!!

Yall need a f150 4x4 5.4 v8 you should get around 14 mpg with that camper trailer without lagging at all but good news ford's hold value better than all

Haha yes it’s definitely what we are looking at. Tj had a Ford f 150 before we moved onto the boat but sold it before the boat trip begun, now we are here needing a truck lol. Yes we also loved how we could have one seat up and another down and loved how comfy it was!!

Tell tj I've owned a Ford every 2 years. I get one in Nov every other year cause miles put on her but since covid I waited 3 years and I'm pushing 300,000 plus but going strong still.. ooooo why so many miles fishing

[@captainron3494]

Oooo by way yall one new truck buys 2 BMW lol lol

[@badasscouger3]

Do you have a generator or solar for charging the batteries? Looking forward to seeing how it goes. Also get a couple of small wash basins. Use the lake water to wash dishes. Boil it, spit it up for wash and rinse. It will save on water. As far as power, look for the breaker panel for Receptacle breaker and shut it off.

[@adventures]

We have a solar panel and are probably going to end up getting another one or two! Good idea about the lake water. We will do that in the future. The water smelled a little funky but the boiling would kill whatever is in there. Good idea!!

[@donmabe7212]

One other note... get a small level and you can place it on the floor when setting up. Remember to level not just front to back but side to side also. Just FYI. Enjoy the vids!

[@adventures]

We need to take the level out of the tool box for when we set up because for now we have been using our phones to check the level, there is an app on there that tells you! And yes all the directions matter, it’s crazy how you can feel even 1% of it being off

[@Tom-px4fn]

Been using solar panels for 30 years on my RVs it is a great way to go. If you are going to camp off grid using the Forest service campgrounds or other off grid facilities. Ask the campground host you maybe able to use a portable graywater tank and dump it in the pit toilet vault. Have a couple 6 gallon water jugs refilling your water tank as part of your daily chores. Did this with a family of 5 for 10 days off grid worked perfect. Toilet use only at night should have no problem lasting for days.

[@adventures]

Thank you for the tips! Much appreciated and yes we have 2 6 gallon jugs that we use now and we love it. Being able to refill with more water is key!!

[@ccswede]

Just for your information a dealer KZbin video featuring your model trailer discussed not traveling with a full tank ( at maximum 1/3) because they have had tanks fall down. You are so good at finding places to visit you could develop an ebook or books discussing neat and interesting places.

[@adventures]

Oh wow that’s very good to know. I don’t know what they expect you to do going off grid then 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️ lol we are trying to never travel full but it’s going to happen from time to time so I guess we will hope for the best! And we have actually been discussing putting together some travel guides and selling them to people who are looking to travel to the areas we go to!

[@marciaweilenman6618]

Enjoyed the boat videos and now the off grid camping. Good story telling, good personalities. This video was too long- maybe chop the trip in 2-3 parts. Your adventures are currently similar to Tula's Endless Summer- maybe see how they edit the camping trips and find some tips (like the outside floor mat). A 20-30 video is about max for family to sit through. If analytics show a lower viewing of this video maybe its the length- it took me 3 watch sessions to make the hour plus.

Yes I agree it was long. Our plan is to keep them at about 25 min typically so we are both on the same page! Lol This one got away from us 😬 and we will check out their channel!

[@adventures]

We really don’t want to get a generator, we like the peace and quiet so if anything we will beef up our solar

[@Mamame4]

Definitely subscribe to The Boat Galley for some great tips on saving power and water. One thing she recommends for dishwashing is the Aquabot, I think it is called, which is a spray bottle to rinse off dishes with less water. The other thing is solar Luci lights which are amazing solar lights that are inflatable, weigh nothing but throw a lot of light!!

Awesome I’ll check it out! And wow that sounds like such a great invention I will definitely look into that. And yes my friends actually have those lights and have brought them backpacking. They are awesome!

[@Corvette_pilot]

Try moving your stuff from out of the back of the vehicle to the back of the camper in the bathroom wile your on the road traveling and that will take the weight off the back of the vehicle. Also it will stop any back and forth weaving around and vehicle squatting. 😎🤙🏼 Rock on campers!
