The day before yesterday, I drove to SE Idaho to go to some fossil beds and to see displays of fossils from the area (as well as some from nearby states because this was all one large wetlands region before concepts like states existed). I will post more about this stuff later.
The other part of this trip was to test out camping in my car to see if traveling around by myself and sleeping in relative comfort was possible for me.

Here is my bed setup! In the front passenger's seat is all of my food storage, including an electric cooler that is acting as my refrigerator. The floor behind the driver's seat is my "closet" (where I am storing my towel, toiletries, and duffel bag lol) and is accessible from inside the car in bed mode. Everything stashes away nicely. I even have solar panels and my Bluetti battery in there, three gallons of water (plus my 2L hydration bottle and 32oz hydroflask). A 1.5" memory foam pad serves as the matress, and there are blackout shades that fit perfectly into the windows for privacy, though I hadn't put them up for this photograph. It has turned out to be rather cozy.
Since childhood, I've really loved making small, enclosed spaces that I could crawl into and feel cocooned. My car feels like I made the best little blanket fort, which is kind of wild to me. I could probably enjoy staying like this—as long as I had access to a bathroom and shower—for quite a while!
Prioritizing lots of pillows (including an armchair pillow thing) was the way to go. I have reclined in my pod and read, edited, and watched movies before sleeping each night. It feels like being a little rolly poly, and the car is my exoskeleton. Or I am a turtle, and the inside of my shell is AWEOME. A cave bear with a SICK den. Even when I go back home, I might set it up sometimes just to have a fort.

My first real backpacking adventure! It wasn't a very long hike, but that helps pack more activities into a weekend ☺️ We pitched our tent by some ruins of old houses that were there before the land was purchased and turned into protected forest. The hike was a little more than 3 miles, so getting out of my warm sleeping bag the following morning was the absolute worst thing about the adventure 😖 it was so very cold and (despite being born during one of the coldest months of the year) I'm built like a lizard 🥶 However, that view was worth it. We got out a lot later than we wanted so a lot of the best colors were past their peak, but late fall has it's own kind of beauty, too 🍂🍁

12/28/23 - Ozona, TX - OLD FAVORITE - After ten years of the RV life and crisscrossing the country too many times to remember, you develop a memory of some of your all-time favorite places to boondock for the night. This lonely spot high above the Pecos River High Bridge is one of the best we’ve found anywhere. The views and the quiet are unique for a highway picnic area. This is what it looks like just after sunrise. Looking forward to some big miles today. We’re trying to make it to Tucson in time for a New Year’s Eve party with friends we haven’t seen in awhile.

Investing Wisely: The Value Proposition of Motorhomes Over RVs
Tumblr media
If you're in the market for a mobile home on wheels, you've likely come across two popular options: motorhomes and RVs (Recreational Vehicles). These vehicles offer the freedom to travel while bringing the comfort of home along with you. However, when it comes to making a wise investment, it's essential to understand the value proposition of motorhomes, especially for those in Michigan, where a thriving community of motorhome enthusiasts exists.
Motorhomes vs. RVs: A Brief Comparison
Before diving into the unique advantages of motorhomes, let's briefly differentiate between the two.
RVs (Recreational Vehicles): RVs are essentially towable homes. They include travel trailers, fifth wheels, and camper trailers. You'll need a separate vehicle, typically a truck, to tow an RV. Once you arrive at your destination, you can unhitch the RV and use the towing vehicle for local transportation.
Motorhomes: Motorhomes, on the other hand, are self-contained units with an engine. They come in various classes, including Class A, Class B, and Class C motorhomes. Class A motorhomes are often considered the epitome of luxury and comfort, while Class C motorhomes are more compact and budget-friendly.
The Michigan Advantage: Motorhome Parts
Now, let's discuss why investing in a motorhome can be a smart move for Michigan residents, especially when considering the availability of Motorhome Parts in Michigan. Here are some key points to consider:
1. Year-Round Adventure: Michigan offers diverse landscapes and outdoor activities throughout the year, from summer camping by the Great Lakes to winter adventures in the Upper Peninsula. A motorhome allows you to explore Michigan's beauty year-round, and having access to quality motorhome parts in the state ensures that you can maintain and repair your vehicle whenever needed.
2. Convenience and Comfort: Motorhomes provide the ultimate convenience. They come equipped with kitchens, bathrooms, and sleeping quarters, making your journey comfortable and enjoyable. You won't need to rely on external facilities, which can be especially advantageous when traveling in remote areas of Michigan.
3. Value Retention: Motorhomes tend to hold their value better than towable RVs. This means that your investment in a motorhome is likely to maintain its worth over time. Michigan's thriving motorhome community also means that you can easily find buyers or services if you ever decide to sell or upgrade your motorhome.
4. Customization Options: Michigan has a rich tradition of craftsmanship, and this extends to motorhome customization. Whether you want to upgrade your motorhome's interior, install solar panels, or add a new entertainment system, you'll find skilled professionals and motorhome parts in Michigan to help you tailor your vehicle to your exact needs.
Conclusion
When it comes to investing in a mobile home, considering the unique advantages of motorhomes over RVs is crucial. For those in Michigan, the value proposition becomes even more enticing due to the state's natural beauty, year-round recreational opportunities, and the availability of high-quality Motorhome Parts in Michigan. So, if you're looking for a way to explore the Great Lakes State while enjoying the comforts of home, a motorhome might just be the perfect investment for you.

I Bought a Ford Bronco and Took It To Top of the World in Moab Utah~Rachel Holbert Jones Page
To see all of my categories of posts go to the Home Page Yes, you heard that right. I bought a Ford Bronco and decided to drive it to Top of the World in Moab, Utah. I wasn’t alone. My cousin, nephew and his 16 year old son came with me. My two sister’s and brother(who are actually my cousins but we grew up together when their Dad died in an automobile accident in 1969) came later. My sister…
