Good to know.  While driving I just plug the 18 volt charger into my inverter, it needs 85 watts so you don't really need a big inverter at all.
 
Saw this van today when I stopped for fuel...seems to have everything :)

Spending the night in Lee, Florida. Opted to head west, rather than farther south in Florida, with initial destination being Venice Louisiana with multiple stops prior. Tomorrow I'll head back to Apalachicola on the Gulf coast and having now explored the coast east of there, start exploring the coast west of there in route to Venice. Interest in Venice?? Have seen many fishing shows for red fish and sea trout originating there. Additionally, the bayou/Mississippi R. delta area has always been an interest. Fishing, people and food. Life is good.
 
Using one of my retired military benefits and checked in for 3 nights at Tyndall AFB FAM Camp...very nice place.  Just outside of Panama City Florida.  Life is good.

PS...there are military campgrounds all over the country.  I use AllStays C-RV Military App to find them.

I have some nice memories at Panama City beach, though I'm sure I don't remember most of them. I'm guessing your stay will be a little different then my spring break trips though ?
 
LOL...this is true.  I wouldn't last more than a couple hours and then spend the next 3 days recovering.  Fishing and picture taking will do me just fine.  Probably will have some wine though ;)

For supper tonight combined some tuna fish, shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese and black pepper.  Then mixed it all up with some Cheesy Jalapeño Ranch dressing....put it on an 8" tortilla and top with banana peppers.  Yum Yum :)

yikes, gators, sharks, rip currents, and biohazards. I would just stay out or the water. highdesertranger
 
Took a ride and walk around St Andrews State Park, Florida today.  Beautiful place but, with 47* temps, 20 mph wind and on/off rain, the picture doesn't reflect it.  The white sand almost looks like snow.  Life is good.

The fresh shrimp I had a couple weeks ago has had me hankering for some more, so picked up another pound today.  This time though....shrimp tacos ::) Instead of taco sauce I used cocktail sauce...good stuff.

dang every time I look at your thread I get hungry. wonder why? I thought that white sand was snow when I first glanced at your pic. highdesertranger
 
Are you mostly boondocking when feasible? Do you still have a home base?

I'm a bit envious-i think you're living my dream life right now. But keep the pics coming. It's extra motivation...
 
HDR...posted the taco just for you :)

TooManyDogs... Boondocking whenever can.  No homebase, nothing in storage, everything I own is in this van.  Loving every moment.

Thanks B Jellybean.

Left Panama City and am now camped at a free site from freecampsites.net.  Nomadic Fanatic had posted it in one of his videos, thanks Eric, great spot.

Here's a 1:33 minute video of it, including time lapse of road in.

Do you just pull up and park at these free campsites or do you have to register with someone? Probably all depends?
