Having a set of external solar panels is a great accessory for off grid camping. Certainly an easy addition, but getting that extra power into the Alto can pose a little effort.
2022 Trip 3: A Visiting Tour
As many others have experienced, the time of Covid has kept us from visiting family and friends over the past few years. Now that things have loosened up, we thought a little tour of the Toronto area was in order.
2022 Trip 2: Rollins, Sandbanks & The Palms
We had a fabulous time camping at two of our favourite parks, and the trips were so much more enjoyable as we were camping with our friends Karen & Steve.
2022 Trip 1: on the waterfront
First outing of the new season, back to Silver Lake, a park that is close to home and makes a nice getaway. Snagged a fave site right on the water, our own waterfront, with the mellow ambiance of the Hwy 7 drone in the background.
2021 Trip 7: rounding out the season
This weekend was the end of yet another Covid restricted camping season, but regardless, we did do some nice exploring of Ontario. Hopefully next year will see some travel further afield, but as they say, it will be,…what it will be.
Roof Seal Repair
The rubber seal that runs around the entire edge of the roof is now eleven years old, and is still in pretty good shape. This is in no small part to the regular and copious application of the Thetford Seal Conditioner.
2021 Trip 6: chillin at Bonnechere
Another of our faves…but in reality, is there a park that is not a fave? We are into the shoulder season now, when parks are a little quieter, the air is cooler, and night falls a lot sooner.
Portable Solar Panels
This is an addition to our solar setup that I have hummed and hawed over for a long time, as for the most part, when we are off grid, the battery does seem to hold its own.
2021 Trip 5: water sites are wonderful
Headed back to last year’s discovery, Rock Lake in Algonquin Park, for the better part a week. This year we avoided the sardine can section, and reserved in the non-electrical area a little further down the lake.

2021 Trip 4: a perennial favourite
Headed out for a long stretch at Sandbanks, a journey to ‘The County’ that we have been doing for decades.
