Eleven-Month RVersary, Museum Fire Update, Major Rig Upgrade
Today marks the eleven-month anniversary of the day we moved out of our sticks-and-bricks house and into our little RV to start our new life as full-time RVers.

Expense Report for January 2019 Full-time RV Living
It's time once again for our monthly expense report where we share the costs associated with our full-time RV life. First, a reminder of the caveats.

Solar Equipment, Battery Monitoring, True Cost of Dumping
Our primary focus over the past week has been learning to manage our power consumption and battery charging. We have not had another episode of dead batteries, but we're very diligent about manually checking the voltage on the batteries several times a day.

Battery Update, Christmas Plans, More Geocaching
As I reported in the last post, we had another episode of battery death, this time with our brand new 150 amp-hour batteries that we just purchased last week at Camping World.
