Where Travel and Learning Come Together
Boondocking? In the last year, we have been boondocking (living off grid in an rv) more than we have been on hookups! Through the first half of 2019 we were plugged in less than 40 out of 180 days. We did this by installing an RV solar power system. If you didn’t know, before you…
