We have a house in San Diego, which is a nice central location for travels (Mexico to Canada) and generally excellent weather. Considered as "part timers", we hit the road periodically, exploring the Northwest in the summer and going to Baja (Mulege) in the winter. We have a 31 ft. Sea Breeze motor home (Smokey) and two cats - Armani and Gillespie. They accompany us on the road not leaving the motorhome. We are equipped to "boondock", being able to be self-sufficient for weeks at a time. Smokey is equipped with large tilting solar panels on the roof, storage batteries, and a whole-house inverter. There is a generator for back-up. A key piece of equipment is the Motosat satellite internet system, which allows us to be connected with the world anytime we are camped. It also allows us phone contact with folks using VOIP."
