LOL that's our buggy its a CanAm 1000 Commander XT. I had the truck parked behind the RV. The Commander will run though we used it with a 16" double axle trailer hooked to it hauling the cut wood. The Commander will do 75 mph real quick. LOL

Here's a couple more boondocking pics in our pasture this last weekend while cutting wood. There's the tow truck in the back.

Nice pictures good looking country you live in. Did you get a chance to see if you can change your oil filter? The trailer framework is in the way on mine. Happy camping.

I had a problem with my genny it would run 10 min. and quit found I found my fuel line smashed off in those loop brackets along the under side of the trailer going back to the gas tank. Pried open those brackets and all good now. Oh yes I can get to the oil filter and oil drain hose under the genny no problem. I noticed this weekend the heat vent in the bedroom barely blows heat and the heat vent in the garage sucks air insted of blowing heat.
I can get to the oil filter ok though.
I put 6 tubes of black silicone caulking under the rv to seal up the plastic under belly. That helped and used some spray foam to seal up all the plumbing penetrations.

Oh I added a 108AH battery to the battery that came in our rv also giving us 180AH total battery now. A lot better battery life now when boondocking.

Thanks, yes lots of trees and dense woods in East Texas and lots of hills here also. West Texas is flat with few trees but East Texas is totally different world with pine trees and hard woods.
