Here we are, two months in our motorhome at this lovely trailer park. I’ve been keeping busy with projects of various sorts and collecting data in regards to our water consumption habits. I feel as though this little self contained…

I’ve adopted a policy in our motorhome of “Pain in the Ass Conservation”. That’s the best term I can come up with at this early hour. What it comes down to, is a little taste of rural homesteading in an…
I had a feeling the other night, that we were dangerously low on propane. My fears were justified as the heater began sputtering the next morning. I shut everything down, including the refrigerator until I could get some propane. It…
There’s a few things I’ve done since we moved into the Squatch that make day to day life just a little bit easier. I simply want to change my immediate environment to best suit my needs. I’ve found myself getting…
Well, we’ve lived in a motorhome for a month now, and I think it’s time to start sharing some of our experiences, as well as a little bit of data I’ve collected. We’ve made the life choice to live in…
The motorhome came equipped with this nice big spice cabinet, next to the oven and microwave. It extends from floor to ceiling, and is hidden by a tall, skinny door. A tall board with several baskets is mounted to three sliding…
Yes, it’s finally happened. After months of waiting for an RV park space to open up, we’ve finally done it; we’ve moved into our motorhome. I thought I would be nervous. I thought it would be nerve racking and stressful.…
For twenty eight years I’ve been searching for something. A mission, a purpose, a place to call home. I’ve been searching in myself, in others, in culture, books, careers, and geographic locations. I seek a lifestyle in which my actions…
When do you need water flow in the home? When you want to get something wet, of course. If the sink is running and the water is flowing right down the drain, that’s called waste. Most household sinks have two…
The first step towards reducing water consumption, is to know how much you are using in the first place. See Fresh Water Stewardship. My water system is simple in the Squatch; it has a 66 gallon tank, a 12VDC pressure…
Minimalism is concept I’m trying to embrace fully. But, like so many ideas, it means different things to different people. Most minimalists would agree that however you define it, material possessions encompass most of the concept. Getting rid of stuff,…
I’ve been showering in the Squatch lately, and I have to say: I love it! To many people, the small motorhome bathroom is too cramped and claustrophobic, but I think it’s cozy and efficient. Everything is within arm’s reach and…
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything. Partly becasue I’ve been so busy with our new (to us) RV. I actually have a ton of stuff to share, and soon I hope to get it all out there…
I relish change. Embrace it. I seek it out. I’m not a “fly by the seat of my pants” kind of guy that will just jump into any situation without mulling it over, but with some thorough planning I try…
I love ridiculous titles! We’re back to RV shopping again! Winnebago, because they are very popular and among my favorite models of motorhome other than Lazy Daze. End of Days, because anyone with a frontal lobe can see things aren’t…
I’m no minimalist. I don’t really know what that would look like. No such person, I suppose, but I like the ideology of minimalism. I tend to be an excessivist. Hmmm. Red Underline. My word? Anyway, I do things excessively.…
