Toilet Update
We purchased a portable camping toilet (The Thetford 92859 Porta Potti ) to try out in the place of the composting toilet.
Vlog Ep. 1 – Kitchen Update
So we decided to just go ahead and forget our two burner propane stovetop for the moment. It’s been a hassle and-a-half trying to find the right propane fittings for it so that we could connect it to the propane tank and actually use the stove. Plus, we’ve got the…
