A day in the life, living off the grid using solar power at a beautiful free campsite.
See all of our Off The Grid and Solar Videos here: www.gonewiththewynns.com/livi...
We love being out there, in the wild and so while staying in a campground with lots of amenities and full hookups has its allure; our absolute and favorite type of camping is Boondocking or as we like to say, Wild Camping! There is nothing better than driving deep into the wild where the views are never ending and the sounds are au nat-ur-el! Plus, it's usually free (yep the free camping part is definitely a bonus)! Sure there are no hook ups (water, electric, cable or sewer), but it doesn't mean you have to live like a heathen.
Spend a day in the RV with us as we live "off the cord" at Fishtrap Lake BLM near Spokane Washington.

This is the video that started my love for The Wynns several years ago and launched my dream to travel on land or water or both. My life has changed so much, but the dream remains constant.

@TheMcMillanExpress 5 лет назад

Seriously, anytime we need inspiration, this is the video we watch!! This is what made us want to full time RV and we've made it for a year. Ups and downs (mostly ups:), but you've inspired us to live OUR dream. So, thanks a million times. With your guidance, we started with solar and a composting toilet. After a year, we agree that it's def the way to live in an RV/travel trailer. Once again, thanks for the inspiration. You guys totally and beautifully changed our lives. Thanks for the adventure of a lifetime:)

This is what I call "Living"! Keep @ it! You're doing it right!

@chucka3390 2 года назад

We watched this video in 2013 right after we made the scary (for us) decision to purchase a beautiful 1993 Foretravel U280 motorhome. It was our first ever RV of any type, and we were looking for help anywhere we could find it. A friend recommended Gone With the Wynns, and so we met Jason and Nikki. This amazing couple helped us SO much during the steep part of our learning curve. They explained mysterious RV topics in a fun and yet informative manner. They introduced us to technology that made our camping life more comfortable. They pointed the way to destinations that we had never considered. They helped us in ways they will never know. As the years flew by, we watched them transition from land to sea, and yet they still remained as enjoyable as always. We still have our first motorhome, and have never regretted our purchase. Jason and Nikki have been an integral part of our life on the road, and we are so happy to count ourselves as loyal fans. I hope we can cross paths some day so we can thank them in person. Until then, THANK YOU and GOOD FORTUNE always!

Gone with the Wynns The Vesta is the best RV you have owned. I went ahead and spoke for you since you can't really say due to your deal with Fleetwood.

@gonewiththewynns 9 лет назад

Josh Stallings We can say whatever we want as there isn't any sort of deal like that with fleetwood. We do still love the vesta (the looks can't be beat by anything current) but it still wasn't perfect, neither are the fleetwoods. We haven't found the perfect coach yet.

@gonewiththewynns 8 лет назад

@NOMADNEWSTV 8 лет назад

If we were to ever go with an A-Class this coach is by far my favorite...your Vesta was what caught my eye the first time I ever saw your channel. :)

@gonewiththewynns 8 лет назад

+VagabonDaze Still our all time fave too as far as look go. We do love our current layout in the bounder though. The L shaped sofa feels more cozy like a home.

@xplorearizona154 8 лет назад

My favorite too. So sleek.

@jasmininbloom9938 10 лет назад

OMG, I totally fell in love with your lifestyle. THIS is so what I want to do as well. Thank you so so much for sharing; you did a great job with this video.

@gonewiththewynns 10 лет назад

Hey GRRRL, Thanks for stopping by to say hi! We love our distiller, and travel in an RV is like parking the home wherever we want to play. We LOVE living out in the wild.

@gonewiththewynns 10 лет назад

Thanks HG's! It's a feeling that only fellow RVers can truly understand. Good Times for sure. See you on the road.

@gonewiththewynns 10 лет назад

sadrand, we had our solar installed in Manteca, CA. The shop managers didn't give us any discounts, but they did connect us with the best technician who took pride in his work, so overall we're happy with the install. The Solar is from GoPower!

one of the better videos I've seen on living in an rv full time. very good editing and use of different angles for your shots. looking forward to watching your past videos.

@linuxxxunil 9 лет назад

I don't know enough about solar but one dude said to use a block of wood on the panel. When there is no shadow on the panel from the sun, you are lining it up perfectly.

@amulia1 10 лет назад

Can you guys please make more videos like this, I think its the best videos. I enjoy watching how your daily live is like. Thanks!

@weekendescaperv1481 7 лет назад

Well we made the plunge! We purchased a 2015 Thor Windsport at the Hersey show got a great deal and will be picking her up next Thursday! Can't wait thanks for doing these vids they really helped us.

@gonewiththewynns 10 лет назад

2012escapee1 we originally had 135watts on the roof and that did just fine for 2 years. We wanted to go more off the grid and really get to know solar and our usage, that's why we upgraded the solar.

@TRV550 9 лет назад

Found this vid through the Trav. Video Group on FB. I can't believe you did this all in roughly 2 days! Incredible. Solid video - cross between infomercial, how to, documentary. Loved it.Usually my attention span is short but the video held me. Tangentially- loved the microdistiller idea. Didn't know those things existed for travel.

@gonewiththewynns 10 лет назад

We have two UL16HC house batteries on board. We don't always use this much in a day, it was mostly for experimental purposes to see how far we could push the batteries. Our induction plate is from Caso, it's a German company, it's been good for us over the past year or so. All the other details I'm not sure of, we're not very technical people we just know 'real world' from our experience.

@jimbarnaby3547 9 лет назад

I wanted to say that seeing your video inspired the design of our solar system on our boondocking trailer. I am still testing but it will be 750w mounted flat, 230w portable and 675 Ah of battery bank in three Lifeline 8-ds. We do most of the cooking on a electric hot plate or solar ovens. Use a auto drip for coffee and heating small amounts of water, (dishes) use the microwave, hair dryer, vacuum, even a 200w bathroom heater for those cold mornings. Add in the TV/sat, charging phones, computers, cameras and we still don't really put a dent in the bank. Oh yeah, the system is designed to run a 5000 BTU air conditioner while the batteries are in float with just the mounted panels. I still want to add a small fridge and a hot rod to the water heater. Total output of the full system at peak sun is over 60a. Someday I hope to make our own video. Thanks for the inspiration.

@redherringbone 8 лет назад

I love your videos but oddly, this one is my favorite. I've watched it more than a couple times. Oh, and the one where y'all spent New Year's in New Orleans. That's my second favorite one.

@gonewiththewynns 8 лет назад

+redherring Thanks, we like those two as well. We're always growing and changing and along with that our style changes as well.

It is lovely to watch such a positive video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a quality video. I know nothing about the editing process, etc. But I do know it takes time very professional. So lovely to see what you do in a day! Happy Trails to you both... (And Kitty Kitty)...

@gonewiththewynns 10 лет назад

Thomas, We don't always use this much power while wild camping, it was more of a "here's a day in the life with solar to see how much power we can use and still keep our batteries charged" sorta thing!

@ReeseAnderson 8 лет назад

I love your videos guys, looks like I have a lot to catch up on :) x

@VanlifewithAlan 10 лет назад

I am amazed that you can use so many electrical appliances. Having said that, I would not use the batteries when they were down to 11.9V - that is much less than a 55% charge. Not many people have 6V batteries although all experts I have come across recommend them over 12V. In your situation - as you say - I would upgrade on that one.

@jtmt0433 8 лет назад

Very good Wynn's. You surely do have the right stuff! Hey, one consideration that I have learned of would be the Berkey water purifier instead of he electrically hungry osmosis machine. The Berkey does not require any electricity and most tests I have seen showed it to clean water at least as bad as what I saw you distilling. It will also clean and purify it much faster.
