    Michele you are such a great spokesperson for teardrop life!! I’m glad the Setpower is still working well for you 😉
    I’m closing in on 1,000 straight nights in my teardrop and your video makes me feel that doing a video review might be useful for others too!!
    Are you headed back to AZ now? If so what will be your next adventure? Give Feens a hug and a kiss from me and Finley ❤

      I’ve got a TON more Colorado vids coming. I kinda posted this one out of order because it was requested. So those videos will be up next.
      Next adventure will be attempting off grid again with those lessons learned AND then……big adventure but shhhhh it’s a secret for now.
      1,000 nights is a dream! That’s my goal!!
      I’d love to see a video review!!

    Question about internet. We have enjoyed small camper life in our tiny towable but internet connection is essential for work. I need video for work. We have been using AT&T phone lines. I know lots of people are using Star Link. But it feels like a large investment for maybe six months of on the road nomad life.

      @@shirleymatthews6692 I use my TMobile Home Internet Router as the main source and have AT&T and TMobile hotspots if needed. I host a large amount of video calls and rarely have challenges. It does depend on what coast you are on. TMobile IMO is the best for west coast. Most cities have full 5G.

    believe it or not, a smaller trailer is much harder to back up than a larger trailer, they tend to react to your steering much faster than a bigger rig, much easier to jack knife

    • @MicheleShanklin
      @MicheleShanklin  Місяць тому +1

      Actually I do believe that thanks to my dad. He taught me how to tow and back up and he tows a 30 footer. I was having problems and he said “let me try” so he could give me better advice and it took him a minute to figure mine out. The key is constant movement for mine. If you stop you’re screwed 🤣

    I was wondering why you didn't add solar, or have you found the 100 ah battery is sufficient between charges?

    • @MicheleShanklin
      @MicheleShanklin  Місяць тому

      I can get about 5-7 days depending on outside temp out of my house battery. For me being solo I found I really enjoyed hip camps because I felt connected to people still. Those generally have power which for full time work on the road it is also just more convenient. I do have some solar panels so can recharge that way if needed but yeah it’s not sophisticated lol
