Adventure RV

[Chris Kouba]

Thanks Randy, it is quite a machine. There were some off camera moments where I was genuinely in awe of what this thing would do- huge ruts, large rocks, washboard surfaces, even narrow ledges. I have been super impressed by it, and love getting out with it!

I carry a pole saw and chain saw (both of which are electric and powered by solar and the inverter). I will say they are quite handy around camp...

B and I were out in eastern Oregon last week- out in the backcountry for 5 days without cell service. It was delightful! Had one buddy meet us for 2 days and another for the next 2.

Been working my butt off lately...

Got the shower/bathroom done:

Coolest pic of the bunch- check out the running water!!

And then I built the world's most complicated combination roof rack/windshield protection/light bar:

Top tilts up and slides forward to allow crane to hoist the cargo, in this case the inflatable boat we picked up:

The aforementioned boat:

I also did more motor work, convincing the electrical system to charge again and got the exhaust brake functional again as well. It's been a very productive ~3 months.

Pic from the "during" process while fiberglassing up the shower stall, lots of stinky work:

And did I mention the fashions!!

Glad that's in the rear-view!

Looking good for our trip, although it's going to start a little later than expected.

With our big trip coming up, we are out on a systems check. It's stereotypically miserable PNW weather, but found a pleasant spot to hang with the wife and dog to give everything a shakedown.

From day-one I've wondered if you had ever entertained the idea of creating a storage space over the cab!
Well, know I know! ;-)

(That whole project is nothing short of mind boggling.)
