This week, we're installing our DIY solar system on our RV! Our Brinkley RV Model Z 3100 came with 370 watts of solar, but we weren't going to leave our big RV solar system behind on our old RV. Since we live full time in our RV and do a lot of boondocking, we're installing 2,820 watts of solar power on the roof of our new fifth wheel!

*Who are we?*

We’re Victoria & Craig! In 2021, we decided that we needed to make life a little more exciting, so we bought a used 2014 Dutchmen Denali 330rls fifth wheel and completely renovated it. Then, we sold our house in Tallahassee, Florida and hit the road full time in our RV! We’ve traveled all around the United States and fell in love with boondocking in our RV at the most beautiful places. In 2023, we upgraded to a brand new Brinkley RV Model Z 3100. You’ll always find us on some kind of outdoor adventure, whether it’s hiking the Grand Canyon, rock climbing in Yosemite or surfing the shores of California.
