First time boondocking!

I have the RV parked at my uncles house until Saturday. Until later this afternoon I wasn’t on shore power and didn’t have water hooked up. It’s been out here for a couple of days this way as I have been moving in. It’s good practice just in case I decide to find some remote region to spend some time in for a few days.

Now that I have power and water it’s just about like being at an RV park.

Still loading…

I  spent a good part of the afternoon yesterday loading things into the kitchen. Since I don’t know what to expect it is hard to know what to make readily available and what to pack away in the storage areas underneath. I settled on 4 of each (plates, bowls, glasses, saucers, coffee cups). Seems like as good of a place as any to start. 🙂

I also picked up a couple of rugs, throw pillows, some bedding and other odds and ends to make the place feel a little more like home. 🙂 That was kind of fun picking those things out and it makes it feel a lot more comfortable.

One thing I have been concerned over was whether or not I could bring my kayak along. The storage area underneath is pretty spacious  but I wasn’t sure if I could fit it in or not. Yesterday I gave it a shot and if I load it from the drivers side at an angle I can get the kayak in and still have plenty of room on either side for storing the things I won’t use often. I’m pretty happy about that cause some of the places I plan to go have some areas that will be good for kayaking and fishing!

I may have to push my departure day back until 3/23 instead of 3/22 as I’m trying to work during the week and load everything up at the same time. Its not easy or efficient but I’m working through it.
