In this episode of Solitude And Sailing, I complete the installation of the solar panel on my RAM Promaster Vanbuild. Now my campervan is truly off grid

I set up a mini power station using a group 27 battery case with a small battery and 4 switch control box as well as a shut off switch and solar charge controller. Very cost effective way to power up my Bris Dinghy

After failing to get run last season and sitting all winter, will my 2 stroke 6.0 hp Hangkai outboard run? She is a hard start and stalls right away. After changing the fuel and spark plug I then go onto removing and cleaning the carburetor. Total cost next to nothing. I was able to reuse the gaskets. Carb kits can be purchased online. If you are having difficulty starting or your outboard stalls out, then this video might help. Hope you have success with your outboard and a great summer on the water.

Recap of my Burlingame Campground experience with the family. One of Rhode Island camping spots that I do recommend. Although the campsite does not offer electric or septic hook-ups, they do have pumpout stations and water stations. There is a boat launch area, swimming area, playground, arcade, campstore, walking trails, open fields and plenty of shaded areas. The grounds were clean and staff were friendly. We enjoyed our stay there.
