Happy Valentines Day
Spring is in sight.... about 5 more weeks or so.
We have our TC ready.... and we are hoping our winterization will hold during this bitter cold we are experiencing at this moment in time. The cube heater is running full time in the camper... aimed under the sink, towards the batteries.
We have the TC set up as a disaster evacuation pod.... in a worst case we have 450 miles of diesel fuel, 14 gallons of propane, the generator just a push button away, and PVSolar to run our electric kitchen... Freeze dried food for emergencies, and plenty of water.
I believe that it is our responsibility to test the Truck campers survival capibilities as much as possible.... and the sooner the better. we'd like to evacuate to the South West... of course we'd like to see some of you to compare notes.
As all of you know bitter cold winters and scortching hot summers aren't much fun... and last couple of fall seasons turned out to be mostly rain.... so March to late May or early June is perfect.
Of course... we leave the critters with our house sitter... they are better off.... as many of you know full time boondocking isn't for everyone.
