That solar is definitely the way to go, especially if you are not in the brutal heat. Also I need to check out Ubiquity, it sounds very flexible.Lynne Goebelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12168199199054369925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-63920314773427650352017-08-13T08:11:50.740-08:002017-08-13T08:11:50.740-08:00Next time I will start with a planner where I can ...Next time I will start with a planner where I can document how much was spent for overnights and how much was spent on food-groceries and eating out. I was actually proud of my spending habits for souvenirs. Living without clutter helped in that way. I would have busted the budget in Whitehorse if they had the native hummingbird cape in my size. $110.00, but it was gorgeous!Artie & Leinen's Grand Adventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01205607043159675911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-82173107096089820272017-08-12T18:25:06.007-08:002017-08-12T18:25:06.007-08:00The "record keeping" amounted to looking...The "record keeping" amounted to looking through my blog titles and counting. Then seeing if it added up to 90. The fuel records came from Fuelly.com, the free service that I've been using for years. What we don't have is convenient records on campsite and food costs.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-14851449815855926402017-08-12T16:28:51.587-08:002017-08-12T16:28:51.587-08:00So, every 90 days you have to prove you were insid...So, every 90 days you have to prove you were inside Alaskan borders eh? Curious. Great set of stats, not sure I would have been as zealous in keeping records.redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-17443918047815217342017-08-12T14:52:21.829-08:002017-08-12T14:52:21.829-08:00If we were travelling the same distance over the s...If we were travelling the same distance over the same amount of time with the Prius, we would've spent a lot more. The gas savings would be around $2000. The private RV parks probably averaged about $35/night where a motel would've been 2-3x that or more. Plus, we had maybe 95% of our meals in the trailer and didn't need to bother with an ice chest. Being able to make Costco grocery trips and have enough room to put the stuff was pretty nice. I don't think that Bridget would've agreed to a 3 month trip if it involved tent camping. It was really convenient to not have to pack/unpack every day. We would see people digging through their cars in gas stations and rest stops trying to find stuff. We never needed to do that during the entire trip.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-39684131854940599132017-08-12T14:42:36.104-08:002017-08-12T14:42:36.104-08:00Interesting to read all the stats from the trip.

It certainly seems more convenient to have all the homey comforts with you. Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.com
