I’m very happy to be a land owner. Just a few months ago I bought some land and now live in an RV on the land.
Tomorrow we drive about 7 hours round trip and get the last of our stuff from storage. So happy to not pay that rent anymore.
We have fresh air, beautiful views, and tons of space to work on projects, free electric from solar, and soon free water from rain. I can’t wait to start our garden soon, then it will be free groceries.
I’m assuming you mean petrol/diesel, but depending on how much wind you get and power you need, you might be about to use wind or some kind of gravity fed.
We do have a lot of wind most of the year, my neighbor gave me 2 wind power generators, but I need to get them and install them.
I was saying that when it’s really rainy the clouds will block the solar, so I might need a gas power generator to keep my batteries going. We have only been here a few months so not really sure what to expect.
Right now we are very light on power, the most power hungry is our portable iceco fridge that uses about 40w of power on and off. We have mostly rechargeable lights and phones, and my laptop that is USB-C to charge.
Chest freezers are supposedly extremely energy efficient because cold air is denser than warm air and goes down, and as long as you don’t open the lid, it just stays cold.
Yea, it’s been super nice. Mine can be powered by 120V AC or 12-24V DC. I’m using the 24V DC so I can still use the 12V outlet on my BLUETTI for other things. It’s been working great.

Damn. Amazing. Are you in the States? What’s your latitude/geography like? Do you have a water source, as well as electricity?
We are in Arizona, high elevation so it’s not as hot as the big cities. (Over 5,000 ft)
We want to order water delivery first, then collect rain water after we build a roof over the RV.
We have solar and it’s been enough for us so far, but I know when it rains during monsoon season that I may need a generator.

That is how our iceco fridge is, it opens at the top like a cooler.
Oh yeah I looked up the brand, that looks really solid!

Living the absolute dream, that sounds like an amazing new venture and I wish you well in all of your future projects
