    Video: Finding and Refilling Boondocking Water

    Two questions we often see on RV forums and Facebook groups both relate to boondocking water: where to find it, and how to refill it while staying long term. My new video today shows how we deal with both issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_VlsVWldG8 I welcome your feedback! If you've...

    Video TR: Zion National Park

    Thank you! Sounds like you had a better experience than I did. For us the shuttles were not an option as dogs aren't allowed on the shuttles. That's why I planned to go back on the Monday before Thanksgiving to hike Angel's Landing; unfortunately, my wife had to return to Salt Lake City...

    Video TR: Lake Powell & Antelope Canyon

    We spent Thanksgiving camped right on the beach at Lake Powell, and it's resulted in my personal favorite video TR thus far. We camped at Lone Rock Beach, a dispersed camping area maintained by the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. It was busy for the holiday weekend, but not overly so...

    Keeping dump valves from freezing

    We have a 2016 Evo by Forest River T2050 travel trailer with the "Arctic Package." That package includes an insulated and enclosed underbelly, increased insulation all the way around, and tank heater pads. The water lines to each appliance and fixture run around the inside of the trailer rather...

    Bonneville Salt Flats

    You're not allowed to drive on the salt when it's wet. You're not allowed to camp on the salt at all, per BLM regulations: https://www.blm.gov/visit/bonneville-salt-flats. We went out there this fall and camped along the Silver Island Mountains Backcountry Byway, just off the salt...

    Utah Zion & area, Moab & area recommendations

The one from Zion is the only one published thus far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_CeDJtVs0s For Zion, we boondocked off Sheep Bridge Road in Virgin. The remaining two episodes will publish on Grand Adventure...

    Moab in mid-April... do you dare try to boondock or reserve??????

    There are lots and lots of sites in the many BLM campgrounds east of town along the Colorado River. While it's busy at that time of year, I'd imagine that outside of Easter Jeep Safari you'll be able to score something. Be aware that outside of these campgrounds, camping on BLM land is...

    Indeed. It's a real Catch-22. Thank you!

    Video TR: Zion National Park

    DW, the dogs and I headed south the Saturday before Thanksgiving to boondock outside of Zion National Park. Arriving in Virgin, Utah right at dark, we first scouted Guacamole Mesa via Dalton Wash Road, but finding the last half mile to be steep and rough but nevertheless negotiable, but without...

    An introduction

    Hi, we're new here so I thought that I'd introduce myself. My name is Marc, and we reside in Cottonwood Heights, Utah, just outside of Salt Lake City at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains. Along with my wife Patricia, and our dogs Zoe (lab) and Maggie (golden retriever), we spend the warmest 8...
