Learn how this full-time RV couple uses their solar panels and lithium battery bank to melt metal with the sun and other unbelievable upgrades that allow them to go 3 months at a time without dumping their black tank. Mark and Elizabeth live full time in their Grand Design 390rk, and they brought their unique hobbies with them on their off-grid adventures! You won’t want to miss Mark’s ingenious way to extend his solar panel capacity after maxing out his roof space (we might do this to our rig too!) This tour and documentary includes tips for full-time RV living, whether you are an RV newbie, an experienced RVer who is new to solar, or a boondocking pro looking to up your game.
Hi, we are Joshua and Elizabeth, full-time Boondocking RVers, and we’re on a journey to weave together our desire to be more self-sufficient like our pioneer ancestors, with our love of modern technology, building our online businesses, all while living off grid. Join us as we explore ways to bring together these 2 seemingly opposing goals through creativity and just taking that first step towards our goal, even if we don’t have the whole journey mapped out yet. We know where we want to go, we just need to figure out how to get there! Please hit that subscribe button and the bell so you can get notifications on new videos.

Interested in learning to Boondock (dry camp) with us? You don’t need to have a generator or solar, just plug straight into our rig and draw power from our solar and massive Enduro Power battery bank while you learn how much power your RV draws per day with your normal usage so you can plan what solar and/or generator you need to do your own boondocking. Plus learn from Joshua and Elizabeth tips and tricks for successful boondocking, from how to find a good spot, to how to conserve your resources, to how to dump and refill water. Maybe even try Joshua’s famous smoked brisket! To request to know when we will be in your area go to boondockbuddy.com and fill out our request form.

Starlink and Nomad Internet
We use a combination of options so that we will have coverage in our various boondocking locations. Starlink www.starlink.com is growing and expanding as they launch more satellites (not available everywhere yet).
See our video • STARLINK RV SECRETS! H... about Starlink with EnjoytheJourney.Life including a hack on how to get your dish NOW as well as the February 2022 update (video coming soon). For the places where we cannot connect our Starlink, we use AT&T (deep blue) chips from Nomad Internet nomadinternet.com/ along with our Pepwave from mobilemusthave.com/
