And we now have running water! Replacement water pump works like a charm 😀
Road trip in to civilization today to grab a replacement water pump.
Four hour round trip 😀
I disassembled and reassembled the pump and still couldn't get it working. I don't see anything visibly wrong with it but 🤷♂️
Hopefully replacing it works. Otherwise I've got a spare pump and still no running water 😂🤦♂️
Today's project: fixing the water pump. Cuz it just stopped working.
Yesssss!
Partly cloudy today but much cooler than it was earlier this week. During the clear periods, I'm seeing consistent 1150W from my #solar array.
That's 82% of rated output, which is a LOT better than the 58% I was getting on Monday when it was super hot.
The drop in output was definitely because of the heat

Off-grid living be like: torrential downpour? Find every possible container and get it outside to catch rain! 😂

Ergh, I didn't plan for the power being used during the day when I built my solar setup.
Only about half of my solar output is going to charging the batteries... the rest is just going to normal power usage.
Well... time to add more panels :D

Landed safe at our off-grid launchpad campground.
We'll spend the weekend here stocking up supplies, filling our fresh water tank, and fueling up.
Sunday we head off to the wilderness, 2 hours from any city and 30-40 mins from the closest signs of civilization.
We'll be off grid until the first week of October. I'm super excited for the quiet downtime. Still connected and still working for 4 out of the 5 weeks, but the space and solitude will be lovely.

During the time we were full-time RVing, the best camping experiences were always on the public lands, like this boondocking spot in Idaho. Read more about it here:

Welp, here we are. Day one of hitting the road after OBX. Parked somewhere in Delaware, in a parking lot with the new camper in-tow. I loved my time in the Outer Banks, and was sad to leave, but, as always, the thrill of getting back on the road captivates me once more. It feels good to be "back".

@BeanNoneya Sorry about the situation, but I think you will love New Mexico. I am #boondocking outside Alamagordo right now.
Please stop in El Paso on the way. A town full of exceptional people and excellent food. Very family-oriented without being pushy about any particular version of "family".
Getting my #boondocking shizz together, March according to #google maps, and cooking everything from #solar for a whole day as an experiment
The weekend where it felt like everything was going wrong, and through one act of kindness, we came out of it better than we started.

It's getting time for camping season soon. Last year I upgrading our camper to LiFePO4 batteries. This year we're remolding the inside. I'll be posting pictures of our upgrade in the next couple months.
