Wow, does the step cover help keep the coach warmer? We definitely lose a lot of heat through the entry door, but hadn’t though about using the cover to help with that. We also found that the dashboard vents allow lots of cold air in. We rotate them so they’re closed… I should see if switching the vent to “recirculate” mode helps too.

I think after our San Marcos time, we’ve decided that every few months we need to just stop somewhere, pause, and do nothing for a little while! If nothing else, it’s nice being able to go to the same grocery store more than once, and know a little bit about the local roads and how to get around! Stay warm up there…

Will let you know how it goes! Of course, we’ve got 80 gallons of fresh water, 220AH of usable battery power, a 7000W generator, and 20 gallons of propane for the water heater and furnace, so things shouldn’t be all that rough :-)

I wanted to let you know that we “borrowed” your idea for covering the step well. It has helped significantly during our 20° nights here in NY.

Loved the Christmas tree! I may “borrow” that idea too!!!! My evergreen-scented candle just isn’t doing the trick.

Keep blogging.

Really interested in the pure “off the grid” time. Been many years since I’ve done it, but still holds a fascination for me. May do a bike trip next year to try it again. :-)

I’ve been following you guys for some time and I am very relived to hear that Max is recovering. My wife and I are envious of the quality time you spent in San Marcos. Looking forward to the day(s) when we can just kick back and enjoy all the things we love to do.

Peggie likes the tree you picked up, we have a slightly smaller one that sits on the server just above the computer keyboard pull out.

Keep on enjoying and give ol’ Max a hug for us! Safe journeys and a Happy and healthy Seasons Greetings from Long Island NY.
