A few years ago we were on the rim of Death Valley, sitting in lawn chairs on the side of the road in the dark in order to watch the Hale-Bopp comet and a total eclipse of the moon, against the backdrop of a gazillion stars and no man made lights. A peak experience by any measure I've known. Made me think of what it must have been like for ancient humans to walk in a landscape of such intense beauty without ever knowing the "why" of it. To be so small and at the mercy of an immense night like that--or any night for that matter, with no possibility of light except for the moon and stars and the feeble flame of a small fire. Can you even imagine what that must have been like? Gives me goosebumps and awe.

[@eileenstickney80]

Great tips, I live in Nevada, camp in the desert. Tip for refrigerator, freeze small water bottles, put a few in the refrigerator, rotate when bottles thaw. Keeps refrigerator cold and you have cold water bottle when you hike. Safe travels!

[@kevinreiter1890]

It's best to put the Reflectix on the OUTSIDE if possible, so the sun isn't reflecting back through the window, which creates more heat on the inside.

[@gerger7287]

Also remember desert wind storms can mess up the engine of your car and many of the filters so you need to keep that clean the few months you are in the desert. Also Desert Winds can also a pit and scratch the glass windows in both the RV and the tow vehicle. After the first few nights of sleeping in RV, you'll know which things rattle a lot during the windstorms, by the time she have to go underneath your unit or on the roof and either tighten down nuts and bolts, or put some padding underneath some of the unit, to keep it more quiet. Usually by noisiest items are either mud flaps rattling, are antennas on the roof. usually I never leave anything outside at night camping in the desert cuz you don't know when you're going to get hit with a blast wind and you could lose your equipment outside. Like you said animals can also be noisy at night, and I've been in areas where the animals will Camp 24-48 hours around your unit because they smell something, so I just move the unit somewhere else. If I keep everything in the unit there's nothing to move except just the RV and the tow unit. My worst experience have been desert bears, they must smell something at, and they can haunt your RV unit for days on end and even damaged some of the sheathing on side.

I have lived in the desert (Phoenix) since I was 5 years old, and crave the trees and green. So I will let others do the desert camping. I'm not going to say "never" but I have to get my fill of green and tall trees first! Dust is never-ending in Arizona, that is for sure! Great info!

[@katbunn957]

I also, live in Phoenix (since 6-1953)- yes, the dust is never ending in Phoenix - but I I don't think that pertains to ALL of Arizona ! I do the window thing all the time! Rocks hold heat. Snowing in Flagstaff this time of year.

But haven't been camping much in AZ, so will be going to Southern AZ in a few weeks to Roper Lake and then after Christmas to Patagonia Lake. :) May we are heading to Payson. Been to Prescott Nat'l Park 2 times and loved it, but still hot when we went. But not as hot as Phoenix. :) 1 1/2 years from going on a 5-6 month trip across the country to New England. :) I am trying to learn all I can from Robin and everyone else!

I do appreicate the springtime here now, but the summers are awful. So will go to the forests of Allegheny and the Adirondacks and the Fingerlakes, etc. Never been to Maine or New Hampshire. So many other states as well. Husband has never been to Sequoia or Yellowstone or much of anywhere except Florida where he grew up. We have a lot to check out!

[@margmcgill1645]

Last year I travelled in a van to Quartzide, Az it was too rocky for me. I then went to American Girl Mine Road and the surface was much better, but it was windy and dusty. It is in Winterhaven,Ca. But only 7 or 8 miles from Yuma, Az. which had everything you would need. I wish I was there again but am on the other side of the border🇨🇦. Enjoy your desert camping. I loved it.. stay safe .

[@janmoline]

I've lived in the desert since 1964. I love my desert home and even living here, I camp in deserts as well. There are also 2 kinds of desserts, high and low. You can experience greater temperature differences in the high deserts 30s at night and 80s or higher occasionally during the day in the winter. 80s at night and 110 or higher in the summer. Water, water, water! Did I say water. Can't tell you how many campers I've found suffering from dehydration, heat exhaustion and more rarely heat stroke (worst form of heat exhaustion). Lots of water. Another trick for the refrigerator, fans, and AC units, if available, but some of the cooling gators, or the fabric they are made from. The fabric is designed to hold water, stay damp longer, and not drip water everywhere. Wet them, and place the "over" the vent fins for each. Over is in quotes because you may need something like a small plastic container to keep the fabric slightly off the fins so the fabric doesn't seal against them. Clamps, duct tape etc, check and add a little water occasionally. The evaporation will cool the ac/fridge components and add cool air coming off the fan. Small room size evaporative coolers can be used in bigger rigs but are expensive and take up a LOT of room.

[@roadboat9216]

Interesting tip there Jan. Will look more in to that what percent difference would you say that the “gators” make?

[@janmoline]

@@roadboat9216 I haven't done enough of a scientific study to give a percentage. It is enough to make a difference in the laboring of the fridge/ freezer and interior temp of the fridge/ freezer. Makes the interior of a small trailer, and even my mallard 29sk more comfortable.

[@johngolding4229]

Desert guy first 35 yrs of my life. 😊. Sun, heat, cold at night and Dust. Always dust. Has it’s own unquestionably unique quality with views and smells had nowhere else. As others have said. Water, water and more water. I traveled with a 5 gallon backup in the car. Never when out without something to drink ever. Now besides my beloved mountain time I’m a “coastie” and spend time at the ocean as well as occasional trips to the dry land. 😊👍🏼

[@karinhart489]

I carry a tarp for emergencies that is red on one side & reflective silver on the other. I’ve thought it would come in handy putting on the sunny side of vehicle to help keep it cool.

[@amandachambers8593]

I just winterized my 24ft pull behind, and insulated my Toyota Matrix. Headed west, after the holidays, for a month or so in the desert!! I can't wait, to see that night sky!! (Learning to build a cob house atm, for future sustainable living, so I am doing something fun too).

[@freedomdove]

Great video, Robin. I add more stuff to my first aid kit. There's organic cayenne to use as a styptic, capsules of activated charcoal for poisonings, latex or nitrile gloves, and extra bandages. I'm sure I'm forgetting the other things I added. Lol. Evaporative coolers are good for the desert. I was given a tiny personal-space model and can't use it here in Indiana. Adding humidity to an already drenched environment isn't especially helpful. Lol.

Hydrogen peroxide can help purification of water, wounds, mouth wash etc.

Finally got to see this video. Great job. I live near Sant Fe and spend time boondocking/photographing in the Southwest. First, just know that dust is an issue until you get used to it. Whether trailer or adobe, there will be dust! I especially appreciated the comment from Claire about using magnets. Sounds better than big orange clamps I have! This week looks like a great time to be out there. Have a good time, folks!

[@JennHawk]

So far so good! I've done my first desert boondocking and survived! Great tips.

Always great advice, Robin. Best take-away today: point west. You offer the best explanation for doing so that I've seen. Btw, I've changed my little logo from Ke to a picture of my cat Luna, she's such a cutie. Wanted you to know that I watch all of your videos at least once, I always hit the thumbs up on the way in. I haven't been commenting a lot recently, but I'm still here and recommending your channel to others every chance I get. Good health and happiness always, to you and everyone you love; hugs and kissies for Big Boy. See you next video!

[@bootmender]

Good information. I have been camping in the desert for more than 50 years. Mostly in New Mexico and Arizona prospecting for gold. I have stayed in mine shacks, tents, pickup beds, vans and school buses. My biggest hack is you have to sleep high off the ground. I have had Rattlesnakes and stinging scorpions come to bed with me. I now stay in a old Dodge 4x4 van with a rack on top that I Drape a large tarp over pulled out and staked out on both sides. The air can flow under the tarp real easy. I made a swamp cooler out of a ice chest. I just found your page and look forward to more videos

[@wanderingrocky1858]

Regarding the refrigerator shading… I Purchased a refrigerator shade made from awning shade screen fabric that attaches to the rig and hangs over the frig. You use tent spikes to secure it to the ground so it hangs away from the frig vent so as not to block the air vents. I purchased in Quartzsite for $35. Well worth it! If the ground is too hard to hammer in the tent stakes use a drill to make holes or use gallon bottles filled with water or sand.

[@CreativityRV]

I love this comment!! Thank you. Where in quartzsite?

[@gweger6425]

Please explain why all the extra effort on the fridge when you can just park it on the north side?

Hey Robin, just want to say I love your videos! Thank you for all your GREAT information! Also, as much as everyone loves reflextics, me too, I CRACKED my windshield using it as a sun shade! Yep. The windshield repairman told me he gets this too often; his for his business though. Yikes! So, not sure what the alternative is for keeping heat out, but certainly worth a caution. I simply quit and use clothe alternative. Not as effective, but neither is cracked windows...

[@paulbaker3144]

Hello Robin. I just watched your great video on boondocking in the desert. Question - how do you keep the critters from entering your rig and living in your engine?

[@phuckindrummer5537]

Tap your horn a few times a day to scare them away, don’t let them get comfortable they chew and build nests and cause damage. Peace.

Something else to prepare for (or be aware of). We were in Ocotillo Wells a couple of weeks ago and a lovely little rattlesnake joined our granddaughters at the campfire. 😅

[@UtahRoadbase]

Hey girl so good to see you! one thing I've been thinking of making for our fridge is an awning out of a flexible solar panel. RVing with Tito (KZbin) had videos about making them with those suction cups for stand up paddle boards. They stick to glass and fiberglass and also could charge a battery at the same time! Anyways, just an idea I had to keep that part of my rig in the shade when nosing west (as always). Keep cool! Enjoy the stars!

[@mspointe4]

Love the idea! There are panels Ive seen that are deemed more militaristic from the deseet sand canvas material. Please contact me directly should you get them designed and on the market. I'd be interested in testing and reviewing them. Hint

[@Lovinglifeinmy70s]

You do such a great job. Great hints. I lived in Phoenix for 23 years. The desert is not my thang. I’ll take Colorado over the desert even in the winter.

[@ElizabethKilbride]

Arizona in the winter is awesome. The weather is perfect not to hot but it's cold at night.

[@davidgodley521]

I have a tip for getting rid of mice. Rule of thumb; stay south when it's cold and north when it's hot. I'm in a Ford Transit van with no additional windows. I use reflectives over the windows. I spray painted the outside to give the appearance of blacked out windows. The reflectives still work just as well.

I would have an extra cooler or two. One for water or other drinks and another for food that needs to stay cool. User freezer packs or homemade ice packs. Take whatever you need out in the am, then stay out of the fridge during the day. Return stuff at night. If possible you could have those coolers that have a cooling system. Use a small 12v that you keep charged with a small solar panel.

Thanks for the info. Have lived in the desert on a boat (Sea of Cortez). And in NV. On motorhome. Yes, if you are in an area where the caleche has been broken. Dust real bad. Caleche is natures floor covering. Now in coastal NC on class A. Full time. Very much looking forward to getting out to desert this summer. Will look for hi-desert areas. Cooler and one of our goals in going there is for star gazing. Will we bring a “professional type Telescope. Like the tip about the fridge. Fortunately ours is on the patio side. Living room slide on the sunny side. Will definitely get reflective on windows ! Again thanks! PS, thinking of going with composting toilet.

[@phuckindrummer5537]

I love your videos and I hope you will forgive me for adding advice not mentioned very often yet it’s important, a backside rash is possible in the desert heat and the bacteria from going #2 (BM) will exasperate it, simply apply some A&D ointment or petroleum jelly before and create a layer of protection before you relieve yourself. I was born and raised in Southern California and I spent many camping trips in Death Valley and around Granite Mountain, (off Kellbaker rd. off I15) there’s a very groovy hidden lake there that was a mine at one time, near the “Devil’s Playground” (White sand dunes) and some mine shafts too.

Hi Robin, I've been following your journey since since Day 1 -- well since your initial youtube video. Day 1 you probably weren't even thinking youtube. I'm getting ready to hit the road in a travel tailer. Quick Question -- does Big Boy help with keeping the mice, and other buggy pests, at bay or away from your home? I did get the solar lights on Amazon Prime day after watching your midnight video on 'RV Gear, Accessories, and Must-Haves!' I don't have a kitty but thinking about getting a kitty to keep my travel tailer free of mice and for a travel companion. I remember seeing Big Boy sitting up in the cab with you during your early RVing days and he just seems like the perfect companion. Thanks
