Boondocking Arizona with an Aliner Trailer. Includes Kofa National Wildlife Refuge. Hope the musical intro doesn't scare you, it was made with an old mandolin I found and a box of Uncle Ben's rice for percussion. I need to improvise while on the road!

Love your ideas and videos. Watched all before purchasing our Ranger 12. You must be an engineer? Perhaps say 'when' you are visiting these places, month would help. Water heating in AZ is easily done with the black bag shower! Use your pool noodle idea, good one. Also added a solar panel, beware of dog sign. Got rid of extra board and cushion from 'sofa'. The table needs replacing for sure, need other ideas for that one. Am a subscriber. And your filming is top notch. Thank you.

Mom and Dad had a place down in Quartzite that they would go down to in the 1980s, they would stay down there for three to four months in the winter. Thanks for sharing this with us I see why Dad liked down there.

I was in Quartzite last year for a night for car parts. Stayed in a Motel 6 that was maybe 400 yards away from the freeway. Had a nice meal at the Love's truckstop nearby and got a 6 pack of beer for the night. Was nice having the window cracked as the I-10 provided a subtle white noise. Motel had Zenith TV's from the early 2000's hahaha.

Yours is the only RU-vid channel where I actually go back and re-watch your videos (some three times). Do you by any chance have experience in videography, or is it simply natural talent? I wish there were more channels like yours - ones with more meat on the bone than fat.

If your water container was black it would help heat the water faster in the sun. You may also want to try using a mirror set up to increase the suns effect.

@SlimPotatohead
@SlimPotatohead 6 лет назад
Hi James, Thanks! 4 cylinder is a little low, perhaps a small T@B. A little more horsepower (I use a 6) gives you more towing power especially up hills. Wish you the best on finding the right combo that works for your needs. Slim

Have you considered putting your water jug into a styrofoam cooler with the lid on while the water is heating? I'd imagine on a cool day you'd loose a lot of heat through the top and sides of the jug over the course of 2-3 hours.
