WifiRanger Elite Pack with Flex antenna   I am on the road for long periods of time. Not always is it in beautiful state parks, sitting around the campfire. Sometimes I am simply en route overnighting in a parking lot. But I don't mind at all, because I have wifi to connect me to internet with films to watch, books to download, and emails with friends to catch up on. Wifi along the road is notoriously bad. So it was a priority to me to get the best wifi booster I could. The Wifi Ranger Elite Pack with the Flex antenna has served me well. Typically it will take me from 15% reception to 60-75%. It would be in the upper 90's with a trucker antenna, but I no longer have the TV antenna to mount it on! This serves me well. They run from $359-$749 depending upon your setup. https://www.wifiranger.com/   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589b7d4cdb29d6b63e0d4930/1487207917096-UG231EX95HZXEF8C1RMP/FullSizeRender+19.jpg tips - Teak mat for WET BATH   If you are looking to travel light, under 20 feet, then chances are, your bathroom will be a WET BATH! Meaning that toilet and shower are in the same tiny space. But not to worry! Help is on the way in the form of a TEAK BATH MAT! I use a squeegee after showering to get the water off the surface of the toilet, the walls and the teak floor bath mat. Then finish up with a chamois cloth. Takes five minutes. SO worth it! For all the hassle it saves pulling a much lighter rig, the Wet Bath is a great choice for the solo traveler! This teak mat is 16" square. I had to cut off one strip (The hardware store did it for me at no charge. Advantage of being a girl..) and I have a perfectly fitting, quick drying teak floor for my bathroom. My socks never get wet when I enter the bathroom ten minutes after my shower! $89.95 at Flooring Supply Shop. http://www.flooringsupplyshop.com/premium-african-teak-single-groove-finish-16-2277.html   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589b7d4cdb29d6b63e0d4930/1487225604832-0XWU6BQ9Z1K6BXQII8JV/FullSizeRender+34.jpg tips - 8 foot ladder   I love my ladder. I use it almost every day. It gets me up on the roof to clean off the solar panels, check for leaks, pull out the awning and just look at the view. Vince from A to Z Motors was concerned about my leaning a ladder against the very dentable aluminum shell of the trailer, but two window cleaning mitts from O'Reilly's Auto took care of that. It folds up to 27"and is girl liftable. $107 from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JIMSDA/ref=asc_df_B000JIMSDA4837587/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=394997&creativeASIN=B000JIMSDA&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167155426463&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5763268904485006633&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032105&hvtargid=pla-273566509880   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589b7d4cdb29d6b63e0d4930/1487221307905-XZYDPCUVY6CPJFC91OI0/FullSizeRender+23.jpg tips - Goal Zero Batteries   When I am off grid, whether boondocking on National Forest, BLM land, or just dry camping in a campground without electric or water hookups, I try to conserve my house batteries for running the trailer, especially on cloudy days. My main auxiliary battery for recharging my iPad, phone, Bose speaker and my Book Light, is the GOAL ZERO 150 watt battery which has an inverter so that I can plug my laptop and camera battery chargers into it. It will recharge with the solar panels the next day as long as it is a sunny day. And recharge in a few hours when I have electricity hookups. When I know I will get sun, I can use it to run my flat screen and watch a film at night, too! $229 from Goal Zero. http://www.goalzero.com/p/164/goal-zero-yeti-150-portable-power-station   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589b7d4cdb29d6b63e0d4930/1487219812182-X75ALH50ZZSCT0B61S79/FullSizeRender+18.jpg tips - How many gallons per minute?   When boondocking, saving water is your prime concern. Every day you don't have to dump the tanks, or go get more fresh water, is another day of hiking and adventuring out in nature! It all comes down to gallons per minute. Aeration is key to getting good water pressure without using a lot of water. This adjustable spray and stream faucet replaced my Airstream faucet aerator to use half the amount of water with better pressure. $7.99 from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Aerator-Kitchen-Bathroom-Function-Polished/dp/B01NBSYP2Y/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1487220786&sr=8-5&keywords=rv+faucet+aerator   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589b7d4cdb29d6b63e0d4930/1491795964567-OTEBUL5YTRUCCCDV5LL9/FullSizeRender+5.jpg tips - this is where we are now https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589b7d4cdb29d6b63e0d4930/1506117114272-9FBGU1GFMBXR2J77D16Q/ROTR+Tips-Basin-1.jpg tips Collapsible Dish Tub Fits perfectly in an RV sink or in the shower to save water when Boondocking.

This Fall was particularly bad with the worst fires inNorthern California history. In the Airstream, I am lucky to be able to move around to avoid the worst of the fires, but smoke is pretty much unavoidable. I found this fabulous little ionizer which runs on my 12volt house batteries, or cigarette lighter in the car, as well as regular electric current when hook ups are available. It gets rid of smoke and other odors in a 10 meter square area, which covers most small trailers. Has done a pretty good job so far! $49.99 from Jaco Superior Products: https://jacosuperiorproducts.com/products/purepro-portable-air-purifier-with-dual-usb-ports https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589b7d4cdb29d6b63e0d4930/1509053293317-7F0A9PSYRI3R9LOO5IID/BA4499C4-203E-410E-BBEE-AEFEA579F6DE.jpeg tips https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589b7d4cdb29d6b63e0d4930/1488584831966-A61I4COKN8RBSHEQWNHA/FullSizeRender+30.jpg tips - Heated Fleece Blanket to Warm the Bed This 12 volt travel blanket heats the bed before you climb in at night.
