I Refused to Make 2 Trips! 😂 5 Gallons of Water & 2 Shower Bags in ONE RV Haul!

I Refused to Make Two Trips! 😂 One-Trip RV Hauling at Ka-Hoon Campground

Sometimes being lazy actually means making more work for yourself! 😂

I absolutely despise making multiple trips, so when I needed to haul things inside the RV, there was no way I was making two trips. I decided to load myself up and get everything inside at once.

And surprisingly? It wasn’t even that bad!

What Was I Carrying?

This wasn’t exactly a tiny load. I was hauling:

  • 2 shower bags
  • 5 gallons of water
  • Everything in ONE trip
  • From outside into the RV

Why make two trips when you can just carry everything at once? 😂

The “Load Yourself to the Maximum” Method

There are definitely two kinds of people when it comes to carrying things.


Some people make one trip, realize they can’t carry everything, and go back for the rest.


Then there are people like me who look at everything that needs to go inside and think:

“I’m getting ALL of it in one trip.” 😂


I would much rather load myself to the maximum and get it done than walk back and forth making multiple trips.

A Quick Look at Everyday RV and Off-Grid Life

This is just a very short glimpse of everyday life around the RV at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center.

Off-grid camping comes with plenty of little everyday tasks, from hauling water to moving supplies around the property. Sometimes the simplest things turn into their own little adventure.

Do You Make One Trip or Multiple Trips?

Now we want to know what YOU do!

Which One Are You?

  • Team One Trip: Load everything you possibly can.
  • Team Multiple Trips: Carry a reasonable amount and go back.
  • Team “I’ll Figure It Out”: Somehow carry way too much anyway. 😂

Leave a comment and tell us which one you are!

Amigo the Puppy at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

A couple months ago we did something that we had no plans on doing. We got a puppy we called “Amigo”, he was 8 weeks old born July 20th. We asked about his parents mother being around 40lbs and father 80lbs.. Amigo seemed tiny to us, so we thought he would get around 50 lbs a perfect size for the RV, since Dreugan is 100 lbs, smaller dog would have been nice.. Though at Amigo’s last vet exam at 13 weeks, he weighed in at 24 lbs, which means he’ll get around 80 lbs maybe more..

That’s fine with us, sometimes smaller isn’t easier.. We broke all our plans with getting Amigo, when Litha passed we wanted to wait to get another dog, and planned on getting a med size (not puppy, we just got past the puppy stage with Dreugan) dog. But when we saw the puppy sign Brent and I both felt compelled to go look (we never go look at parking lot puppies). We got there and the first puppy to come to us was Amigo, he looked similar to Litha even with the same white marks on his chest (Amigo is a different breed, only color, markings are similar, we don’t expect him to be Litha). We tried to put Amigo back in with the other pups but he didn’t want to go.

So now Amigo is part of our family, he’s vaccinated, chipped and officially a family member. This may sound weird to some but we feel Litha picked him out for us. 3rd picture is Litha- June 2015 to Sept 2022 ❤️

Cleaning, clutter and getting ready for travel day

I would love to know how individuals keep their RV from being cluttered.. Something we have not accomplished.. Sure few things we can down size, and we do often.

Living in a tiny place with 2 full time humans, 1 part time, 3 full time dogs, a cat and a part time dog does make it hard to keep things organized. But we love it even when unorganized and cluttered..

Ignore the vacuum, cleaning supplies in the photos, I am still cleaning and took a break to post. The RV is about ready to move, no matter if we sit for a day, week or months, I always have extra cleaning, storing before we move.

Hight Temperature and RV living

We watched a RV YouTube video and they were saying you can’t be without AC in a RV in extreme heat stating “all RVs are heat boxes”.. It’s 103 out today and 89 inside. Maybe to some 89 is too hot, but to us it’s not that bad. (Ignore the date on the weather station, it doesn’t connect to the internet anymore). 14 degrees cooler in a class A with windows open and running a fan isn’t bad. You can do it without AC, is it for everyone? probably not.

Waiting out Wind Storm

Sorry we haven’t posted in a few days. Last few days the only thing we’ve been doing has been sitting out the winds. “Fun” part of living on the desert is the winds, especially when you’re on a Mesa. When you go outside your eyes, mouth, get full of sand. Mask helps a little but not much.

Today was better, tomorrow we have another private event, which means getting things setup and cleaned up, tumble weeds are a never ending battle.
