We're Nathan and Fabiola. He grew up in Michigan, she grew up in Minas Gerais, and now we both live in a fifth wheel that goes wherever we point the truck.
Everything in here runs on sunshine. The air conditioner, the air fryer, the Starlink dish that lets us both work: solar panels and lithium batteries, no generator. We film what actually happens, including the parts that go wrong, and put up a new video every other Friday.

How we run everything on sunshine
No generator. The air conditioner, the air fryer, and our Starlink all run on solar and batteries. We broke down the whole system, every panel, battery, and Victron part, plus who designed it, in our RV solar and battery setup.
The batteries at the heart of it get their own page, and how it all fits together off-grid is in our boondocking setup.

Starlink
