It is beautiful, especially if you are paddling! You can escape to the many islands and be totally alone with big, dark, starry night skies! You must have had amazing experiences.
Never chain your dogs outside,that's big gator country.Youll come back to a broken chain. Dogs, absolutely any size,are like candy bars to gators.And,never walk anywhere close to waters edge.You won't even see them. They are unbelievably fast. I've heard them pull full grown cattle into river. I've seen huge ones in wild. Old fisherman.Trust me on that.
Wow! That's scary! I had them on a long leash (I was with them) but I felt uncomfortable with it and brought them in. Gators and twenty foot snakes are frightening! Thanks for your comment!
I haven’t cleaned my solar panels in three years on the road. They work the same as they ever did. I run the engine to get extra amps when I need them. A necessary drag.
I think cleaning them may help but I didn't have much sun. So, it didn't help me. My trailer 7 prong plug only gives a trickle charge, I think about 4 amps, to the battery. It wouldn't have been enough of a charge for me to stay off-grid. My dc refrigerator uses too much power. Thanks for watching!
I Love your cooking style! That taco looked delicious and the chia seed pudding which I have never heard of. Hope you get your power situation under control. Really enjoy your videos!
I love the Kicking Horse coffee. Great flavor. I'm thinking I might need to do half decaf at some point as well. I love the spot you're in, it's beautiful.
Hello from a fellow Floridian truck camper! I've enjoyed the same exact spot and it was very peaceful. While you most certainly need to get your DC to DC charger working correctly, your setup should be fine as is. If you want to increase your backup power, give the EcoFlow systems a look. Going with a Delta Max or Delta Pro would allow you one more charging option, their dual fuel generator. This would allow you to not have to worry about carrying gas because you could use your onboard propane. I am enjoying your travels so keep the journey going!
Great idea! I'll look into it. One thing that kept me from getting a generator was carrying the gas. I hate the smell and don't know where to store it. I never thought about using propane! I have 2 - 20 lb tanks and go through them very slowly now that I have changed to the DC refrigerator. Thank you!
@KimannChessa Without sunshine all the solar panels won't help. You should be able to charge your Jakey with your truck. The charging cable should have come with it. Other than than that a generator is about the only option.
That is so true! You are right! I could have charged the Jackery in my truck. I was cautious about running my truck because it was over an hour drive down a bumpy, dirt, isolated road but I think I would have been all right. You brought up a great point for a generator.
@@KimannChessa You really don't need any big expensive one. Just something to get you past the gray days of winter. Honda makes the best of the smaller ones but are very pricey but there are others for around $400. Still not cheap but you have got to have power with winter just now starting.
You go girl! You’re pretty resource for when it comes down to it. Those tacos looked good (except from the kitchen counter) LOL. But you did pretty well. I think I live vicariously through watching your videos. It’s like I’ve said before, this is what I love about America, the wide, open Spaces and the beautiful scenery. I’ve always wanted to visit death Valley and definitely the salt flats in Utah. I just want to see where one of my heroes set a land speed record. I don’t care about going over and doing all the tourist kind of stuff. I want to travel around and meet the proper down home Americans and towns. I love other peoples cultures And how they live. I am glad to hear that all went well with your daughter. I think I was a little bit late to the party in replying on that video. As they always say to you, please stay safe out there and drive safely as well. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you for the positivity! I don't always think I'm doing pretty well. I'm just trying to figure it out and take you along. I want to visit Death Valley while I am in Nevada. The Salt Flats sound amazing, too! If it is your dream, you will find a way to go! I love going to small towns, meeting the locals, and seeing different ways of life. It is one of the best parts of traveling! I appreciate your kind words!
Oh, phooey! Sorry that boondocking spot didn't work out. Darn batteries/solar. Definitely a two N/A beer trip. Do your camper batteries charge from driving? Twenty years ago, when I was full time in my little RV, I generally plugged in at campgrounds. But when I did boondock, I know I could spend two nights for sure on the battery charge from driving. Thank goodness, cuz I didn't know anything; just drove it. Didn't have solar 20 years ago ;) I love your little cooking segments. Gonna try the chipotle tacos... with the buffalo sauce ;)
It sounds like you have good memories from living in your little RV. I have a better system now, and the DC-to-DC charger works. So, my truck does charge the battery when I am driving. I think the trailer light cord does a trickle charge, but it wasn't enough to keep up with my refrigerator. I also have three solar batteries, but it is an effort to keep them charged with portable solar panels when boondocking. There is a lot to learn. I appreciate you watching my videos! 😊🤗🙏
Happy New Year, I wouldn't go down those trails either LOL. That breakfast looed so delicious. I'm curious how the FlashFish power generator works over time I'm looking to get something like that. Too bad the spot had to have an HOWEVER moment. Like to be closer to look into that DC power issue , I've spent a lot of time working on power , none on solar but I think I'd figure it out eventually LOL Hoping the next site works better
Happy new year! I am not sure of the longevity of the FlashFish. It has pretty good reviews. I agreed to try it because I needed something small when traveling somewhere. I appreciate you wanting to help with my power issues. I know it will get figured out.
Yeah thats what I'm looking for something small to charge the phone and camera mostly, plus it seems durable. I have no doubt you will get the power issues figured out with your positive energy and abilities to get through anything that comes at you.
That's what I wanted it for. It is not a huge powerhouse, but it gets the job done, especially if you only need it for overnight or a day, it works well!
Hi Kimann, that chia seed pudding with the fruit and nuts looked yummy. Love the spot you found in the Everglades. I love peace and quiet too. Your puppers are so cute. They seem to like the camping spot also. I am sorry you had to leave that spot. Keep on pushing to get the power situation resolved - you and do it!
HI Billie! Chia Seed Pudding Recipe 2 Tbs Chia Seeds 1/2 Cup of Milk - I used soy, but you can use any plant or dairy milk 1 tsp (or more) maple syrup or sweetener (honey, agave, sugar, etc.) 1 tsp vanilla 1. Pour all ingredients into a jar and mix well 2. Mix again in a few minutes and ensure no clumps. 3. Refrigerate overnight or for at least a few hours. 4. Top with fruit, nuts, coconut, granola, or whatever you wish. Enjoy!
Personally, not really. I always drive out of the city or get a campsite when possible (bigger cities might not have any). It also depends on your rig. Vans do better on city streets or parking lots. My truck camper sticks out too much. I also don't take chances in questionable overnight parking areas. I got the knock once and it's stressful moving in the middle of the night. When I was in a van I got away with staying in hotel parking lots - not so much in the camper.
We have hiked in the Everglades. We came, I should say our Morkie, came across a 4’ python it tried to get her. I always carry a 6” lock blade knife. Just as it bit and coiled around I grabbed it just behind the head a stuck the knife between it and the dog and cut its head off. It still was constricting, so I unwrapped it from Sydney. She recovered pretty quickly, and gave me tons of kisses as I held her. We took her to the vet to check out the bite wound. They gave her antibiotics and some medicine for any pain. It was pretty intense, but always carry a knife for protection if your dogs but also yourself. If they have a gun and your not next to them do not pull your knife. If they are on top of you then pull it. Jab, Side of the neck, front if neck, either armpit or right between the genitals and the leg on each side. Those are where the arteries are. You hit one, their body will shutdown trying to protect itself.
That sounds terrifying! I am happy that your dog was ok. Thanks for the tip! I am glad that I didn't take my dogs on any trails down there! I wasn't carrying a knife.
get you a wen 2350 generator -easy to start-follow the instructions/a little heavy-but you can manage/the 2350 can run your AC /like the hat-nice on you/thanks much
Thanks for the tip! I never wanted a generator because I have limited room and I wasn't sure about where to store the gas but after this trip, I am thinking differently. If I had a generator, I would have been able to stay there.
Old mechanic,owner of big motorhomes + trailers. For all y'all new campers+ Glampers,solar is very weak, unreliable high Amperage ,steady output.. You're finding that out,even in deep S.Florida. Get a small inverter ( if worried about noise) or open frame gas or dual fuel real generator. You want something at least 1,200 Running Watts.Thats 10 Amps of steady power.They are pretty quiet. The average microwave or RV electric water heater,or a portable electric heater,are 1,200 Watts of steady operation draw. So,the above small generator will run one of those at a time. They are considered "High draw" home appliances. For a gas generator,that has a RV plug for standard 30 Amp service,you want a bigger, 3,500 Running Watts generator. Champion makes very dependable lower cost generators,than say a Honda generator. Bass Pro Shops ( formerly Cabela's) or places like Tractor Supply, carry them in store. To find available Amperage,divide Running Watts by 120 (120 Volts) ,which is standard line voltage. 120 Watts equals approx 1 Amp.
Glad to help ! It's tough watching people struggle with solar. I saw one of the bigger Champions ,4450 Starting Watts/ 3550 Running Watts,for $339. That will plug right into your camper+ has outlets to run other things. I've got same size I bought few yrs ago,but mine has electric start,that one doesn't,but not hard to pull start+ they start right up. Always let a generator warm up for few minutes,to let internal temps equalize,before plugging anything in.Dont start cold,with load applied. Change oil after first 5 hours of operation,then change according to instructions.Usually take just less of 1 quart of oil.
One of the smallest I described,will fit on floor behind front seat of truck. A dual fuel with propane, eliminates any gas inside vehicle.Most gas powered are kept in bed of trucks.
Thinking about a solution to transport of generator ( gasoline especially) with a truck top camper,get a rack that fits into 2 inch receiver in back. That way,with rack locked,and generator chained down,simple to roll it off,little ramps,,or just carry a small generator,a safe distance away for exhaust when running. Always chain generators,they have a way of disappearing.
Great info! Thank you! I am looking into the smaller model. There is a compartment on my camper built for a generator. I can keep it there but I didn't want to transport gas. So, propane is ideal.
@KimannChessa Prescott is 6k elevation and Flagstaff is 7k plus elevation. Both have plentiful blm free camping land and sunshine. Come on in...I'll buy ya dinner! 😉
Did u say at one time in another vid, u changed the fridge out from a propane/electric to just this electric fridge when u bought the camper? And if so why? 🍻
Most new campers are all switching to 12V as absorption refrigerators are going to be going away very soon. Besides, ammonia absorption units didn't do that good a job anyway as they seemed to always struggle to keep things cold especially in the hot weather A small generator or a working DC to DC charger would have had everything charged in no time with no need to be searching for a campground with hook ups. 😳 The new Cirrus 920 is an all electric coach, 12V refrigerator with an induction cook top along with a 12 V AC unit and 12V heating with a propane backup. The lithium and solar combo along with a DC to DC charger as standard equipment is designed to keep things powered up and running...
@@roberts.1400 I’m well aware thx. Here’s my issue with these 12v… Most new RVs that come with a 12v fridge do so only now because they r cheaper to make. And most RV’s coming with these 12v fridges don’t come with a lithium battery bank, solar panels, a gen n dc to dc charger either. And yes that new cirrus is one of very few that does, i love it myself but it’s to heavy imo, but it also comes with a big price tag. My point is choice of having a 3 way fridge run on 12v, propane &/or shore power is far more superior still today, for the choices it offers. We can all talk about the future, but it’s not reality yet, and these 12v fridges force people to have to use a serviced campground until they save up enough bucks to sustain the stupid fridge for boondocking. Im on my 4th rv, with a 6-7cu ft propane/electric absorption fridges n never had a problem keeping icecream in any of em. The 12-18cuft absorption fridges are the ones that suck. I had one of those too lol. Love my 6.3cu current 3-way fridge, im never stressing about how i’m gonna be running it or draining my batteries, and it’s unlikely both my 12v system or propane system become an issue at the same time. Happy New Year! 🍻
@@SpykersB Big response and everything is absolutely true ... Not sure why TH-camrs are pulling them out for the 12 V models. And you're right the 920 Cirrus is expensive and heavy... I'm also looking at the Northern Lights and Artic Fox .. One good thing with the Citrus is no wood, all composite construction and a metal roof, no membranes.. Happy New Year and safe travels ..m
@@roberts.1400 yeah 920 cirrus is sweet no doubt but i would want a 4500 dually for it at least -Metal roof, huh, i thought it was a fibreglass roof. Personally i’m sick of dealing with the cheesy tpo roof membranes and slides so i got a NL Lol 🍻
@SpykersB Yes. I did change my fridge to a DC model. I hated the three way refrigerator. I lost so much food because the pilot light would go out and it would stop running. It never kept temperature. The camper always has to be level for it to work and when I was at an elevation over 5,000 feet it would not work. Also, using it in DC mode fried the cheap dealer batteries on a 5 hour drive. I love the DC refrigerator but now my power needs have changed. I'll figure it out.
That is true. Every state does have predators. I don't know what the answer is because if they go extinct, it disrupts the ecosystem. Pythons aren't indigenous to Florida. It freaked me out knowing that they were out there. The estimates of how many there are in Florida go up to 300,000! Yikes!! They are paying people to hunt them.
@@KimannChessa wow they must breed like crazy..ugh snakes .I'm afraid of rattlesnake here thank goodness it's winter Saw a dead bird on my bike ride today 😔
If any sites have electric, see if the people in those sites will let you plug into their 120 volt part of the post. I'm sure they will if you ask or find one w/o people in it and use that. HNY!
Realistically? Talk about super awkward 😬, you first need to be next door of a site that has electric, cause you just don’t drive up to someone else’s site n ask to plug in 🙄. And it’s not like you’re gonna be sitting there for 10 mins either. And to go drive into an empty site that has electric but u not paid for, u don’t do! Like what r u thinking dude??? She’s not an idiot. 🍻
@@SpykersB Depends on your needs if your really desperate or not. Apparently you don't know how helpful/ giving campers are. All you have to do is ask. I wouldn't have a problem if someone came to me asking if they could use my post to charge their portable generator. They would be able to leave it there for a few hours if need be. Take that stick out of your butt.

Lived hiked camped paddled out there for 30 years, awesome area. Very good idea keep pups away from canals. Thanks for sharing.
It is beautiful, especially if you are paddling! You can escape to the many islands and be totally alone with big, dark, starry night skies! You must have had amazing experiences.
Never chain your dogs outside,that's big gator country.Youll come back to a broken chain.
Dogs, absolutely any size,are like candy bars to gators.And,never walk anywhere close to waters edge.You won't even see them.
They are unbelievably fast.
I've heard them pull full grown cattle into river.
I've seen huge ones in wild.
Old fisherman.Trust me on that.

Most new RVs that come with a 12v fridge do so only now because they r cheaper to make. And most RV’s coming with these 12v fridges don’t come with a lithium battery bank, solar panels, a gen n dc to dc charger either. And yes that new cirrus is one of very few that does, i love it myself but it’s to heavy imo, but it also comes with a big price tag. My point is choice of having a 3 way fridge run on 12v, propane &/or shore power is far more superior still today, for the choices it offers. We can all talk about the future, but it’s not reality yet, and these 12v fridges force people to have to use a serviced campground until they save up enough bucks to sustain the stupid fridge for boondocking. Im on my 4th rv, with a 6-7cu ft propane/electric absorption fridges n never had a problem keeping icecream in any of em. The 12-18cuft absorption fridges are the ones that suck. I had one of those too lol. Love my 6.3cu current 3-way fridge, im never stressing about how i’m gonna be running it or draining my batteries, and it’s unlikely both my 12v system or propane system become an issue at the same time.
Happy New Year! 🍻
@@SpykersB Big response and everything is absolutely true ... Not sure why TH-camrs are pulling them out for the 12 V models. And you're right the 920 Cirrus is expensive and heavy... I'm also looking at the Northern Lights and Artic Fox .. One good thing with the Citrus is no wood, all composite construction and a metal roof, no membranes.. Happy New Year and safe travels ..m
@@roberts.1400 yeah 920 cirrus is sweet no doubt but i would want a 4500 dually for it at least -Metal roof, huh, i thought it was a fibreglass roof.
Personally i’m sick of dealing with the cheesy tpo roof membranes and slides so i got a NL Lol 🍻
@SpykersB Yes. I did change my fridge to a DC model. I hated the three way refrigerator. I lost so much food because the pilot light would go out and it would stop running. It never kept temperature. The camper always has to be level for it to work and when I was at an elevation over 5,000 feet it would not work. Also, using it in DC mode fried the cheap dealer batteries on a 5 hour drive. I love the DC refrigerator but now my power needs have changed. I'll figure it out.
Pythons as big as gators no thanks and the alligators roam wherever.. why does every state have predators.. Colorado now has wolves again 😕
That is true. Every state does have predators. I don't know what the answer is because if they go extinct, it disrupts the ecosystem. Pythons aren't indigenous to Florida. It freaked me out knowing that they were out there. The estimates of how many there are in Florida go up to 300,000! Yikes!! They are paying people to hunt them.
@@KimannChessa wow they must breed like crazy..ugh snakes .I'm afraid of rattlesnake here thank goodness it's winter Saw a dead bird on my bike ride today 😔
@@KimannChessa so someone took the time to count pythons but not kill them in the process 😂
Science, right! They observe and don't disturb.
🐶🐶♥️
Ho everyday
If any sites have electric, see if the people in those sites will let you plug into their 120 volt part of the post. I'm sure they will if you ask or find one w/o people in it and use that. HNY!
Realistically? Talk about super awkward 😬, you first need to be next door of a site that has electric, cause you just don’t drive up to someone else’s site n ask to plug in 🙄. And it’s not like you’re gonna be sitting there for 10 mins either. And to go drive into an empty site that has electric but u not paid for, u don’t do! Like what r u thinking dude??? She’s not an idiot. 🍻
@@SpykersB Depends on your needs if your really desperate or not. Apparently you don't know how helpful/ giving campers are. All you have to do is ask. I wouldn't have a problem if someone came to me asking if they could use my post to charge their portable generator. They would be able to leave it there for a few hours if need be. Take that stick out of your butt.
@@bertkelly7650 🙄 oh another delinquent roams the comments.
@bertkelly7650 That's a good idea, and most people are kind, but all the sites were primitive - no water, electric, or sewer.
