Boondocking trip to Schell-Osage Conservation Area
We took a weekend trip to test out some recent purchases to better equip us for boondocking. Most things went well, other than it was not the greatest campground we have stayed at, and the bugs ended up chasing us home early.
Installing a Propane Quick Connect on our T@g
We recently purchased a propane fire pit, and to make it easier to setup and use, we decided to install a propane quick connect on the back of our T@g. The process was actually pretty easy, and we have enjoyed being able to quickly plug the fire pit into the trailer.
First time Boondocking - Louisburg Middle Creek State Fishing Lake

T@g Air Conditioning Mods - Dual Exhaust Fans and Duct Fix
Prompted by the disappointing performance of out T@g air conditioner, I decided to upgrade to a dual exhaust fan setup, hoping that will solve the issue. In the process, I also found a flaw in the design of the exhaust ductwork. While the air conditioner was removed, I upgraded the tape around the duct as well.
