Hot Day on the Mesa

Ka-Hoon Campground

Nothing like sitting outside and enjoying the moonlight after a hot day!

We’re still having issues with getting the videos edited. Hopefully soon this issue will be resolved and we’ll be putting out videos regularly again!

We are still having issues with the solar system that the controller had gone out on.. So we are putting building the new system in overdrive. We’ve picked up the lumber for Phase 1 of the build!

Day 2 Solar Energy

Ka-Hoon Campground

Second full day home, since we were lazy yesterday and just did few small things.. Today we got the 3500 watt solar setup (one the controller went out and overcharged the batteries) back up and running. We have electricity! Though limited no a/c, can’t run fridge on it nor washer/dryer.

We are hoping to start on the big solar setup it’s a 8 k is 48v with 16 200 watt panels and 12 200 ah batteries. Our 3500 watt is 24v has 6 195 watt panels with 2 100 ah batteries..

Now that the 3500 w solar is back up.. It’s time to wait out upcoming storm!

Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

Ka-Hoon Campground

Our family lives off-grid here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun. Since moving onto this vacant property in the desert last October, we’ve had learned and achieved so much.
We are working on building a bigger solar set up.
Have one container placed that we plan on turning into a library, studio.
We have a small building with a compost toilet.
Built communal Firepit
Figured out Water storage.
We have built a road that is big enough to accommodate big Rvs and trailers!

Our future plans

Get another container for kitchen and sitting area.
Compost gardens
Plant trees
Build an outdoor shower
Build stage off studio
Build deck top of container for even better views of the #riograndevalley!

If you are interested in being part of #modernpioneerism or like to spend a few days and experience the land and beauty please contact us!

Issues

Ka-Hoon Campground

We’ve been having phone and camera issues, which had been making it hard to release videos and post pictures. We are working on a solution and hopefully this issue will be resolved soon!

Update on our adventure!
We are in MN and will be enjoying our time with friends and family for another week, before heading back. Once back we are hoping to jump into building the new solar (will positive thoughts that the price of lumber will be lower)! We already have campers (#plateauhamedecolquhoun)booked for August (only a few spots left!) and looking forward to get back into the role of our modern Pioneerism!!! #modernpioneerism #artoftinyliving

Editing Video

Ka-Hoon Campground

This week has been so busy  that we didn’t take time to edit this weeks video..  Fighting with Eco-Worthy in hopes to get the old solar system up and going before we head out.(Don’t think we should purchase replacements when it’s all under warranty). But that’s not going to happen ,  we are still being ignored, no calls or emails back..  Plus side the new solar (Not from ECO-WORTHY!) has all been delivered, we will begin setting it up once back from our trip!

We will have the video up this week!

Cleaning Day

Ka-Hoon Campground

Cleaning day.. We don’t fill up the tank in the RV so means boiling up hot water. For drinkable water we fill up 4 5 gallon jugs at walmart to use. This will change once the new solar is up and going… Once the solar is up we have 3 / 330gallon tanks full of water that will be hooked up to a well pump. Progress part2.

So, until then we run the generator to vacuum, and remain in travel mode for showers. When will the solar be up, you may ask? We had planned to have it built and up by now.. But with shipment delays and  price of lumber we have decided to wait until after our upcoming trip.

Gotta love camping #plateauhamedecolquhoun  #artoftinyliving #modernpioneerism #art_of_tiny_living #offgridliving #solarsystem #solarpower #rvliving #rvlife #camping #dishwasher #cleaning #vacuum #Genny

Busy Week

Ka-Hoon Campground

Sorry this weeks video will be late.

This week has been busy with trying to get promised shipments delivered. Many of you know we have a much bigger solar set up coming.. Well most is here, we are now waiting on the 2000 lbs of batteries to arrive!

Our old solar set up the controller died which caused the batteries to overcharged and killed them. (Luckily they didn’t explode!)
It’s all under factory warranty but the company has ignored every attempt We’ve tried contacting them. 6 phone calls as many or more emails, posted on their Facebook and still nothing back from them..

If your thinking of purchasing a solar setup stay away from Eco-Worthy  Them!

On the plus side we do have our upcoming trip all planned (hopefully), booked and ready!

And it just…might…..rain?
勞…no way.

No Electricity

Ka-Hoon Campground
Ladrone Peak

Sitting here this morning listening to the wind hit the RV, wishing we had electricity to charge up our devices, watch TV. Yes we can run the generator and do all that. But that also means a noisy generator and using gasoline. But it’d also mean missing the sound of the wind blowing, or even sound of Dreugan at my feet snoring.

Soon we will have the new solar built, set up and it’s big enough to run the RV and Brent’s studio. Which means we can finally get Brent’s stuff out of storage and get the container set up. Then hopefully for the first time since we started this adventure on the West mesa ( or as we call it “Plateau Hame De Colquhoun”) we can feel at home.

Don’t get me wrong we are home, we love it here. But a huge part has been missing and it’s been in storage.
