Planning Solar & Electrical Installation in our Airstream Renovation

Jonathan Longnecker / March 17, 2018

“Can I get some details on your solar setup?”

We’ve had that question asked so many times since we finished our Airstream Renovation that I’ve lost count.

I’ve had two main reasons for not digging into a big fat nerdy post about our solar panel and battery installation:

One Year Ago!

Today marks one year! 

One year ago we pulled this renovated Airstream out of my parents driveway and headed south. After 195 days of blood, sweat and lots of tears, we were finally on our way.

What's In Our Kitchen?

Before we started traveling full-time, I read everything I could about downsizing, simplifying, and living on the road. I read so many blogs, but when it came to simplifying my kitchen it was a huge process.

When we moved into our 5th wheel, our first trip was to Indiana where my sister proceeded to get rid of nearly half of what I had kept. It was painful but actually very helpful.

Since then, I’ve simplified a bit more and sometimes I’m still overwhelmed by how much stuff we have. I think we could do better and have less, but for now… let’s talk about what we kept in our kitchen!
