Massive Electrical Project, Part 1: Extending the 110-Volt System

Massive Electrical Project, Part 1: Extending the 110-Volt System

by Stormy Shafer | Nov 28, 2018 | electrical, Full-timing, Interior remodeling, lighting, renovation, RVing, travel trailer

Having been out on the road a while now, I’m catching up on the remodel that got me here. After I finished moving the 110-volt TV / 12V cigarette lighter (bayonet) style 12v outlet earlier, I decided immediately that I would add at least one more 110v and a whole...

While dealing with The Winter That Wouldn’t Die over the past few months, I’ve been stressing about getting farther behind in working on the trailer. When I’ve been able, I’ve stolen a couple hours here and there to go out and do what I can, so I don’t feel totally...
It’s not all fun and adventure.

It’s not all fun and adventure.

by Stormy Shafer | Mar 23, 2018 | adventure, America, Downsides, Full-timing, idgie, RVing, Travel

Perhaps to help those of you who wish you could be doing the same thing feel a little better, I want to share in this post some of the things that I do have trepidation about, because there are some.
