  1. Living in The Lightning On The Road -- Almost a Year and Counting

    Today is Thursday, so it must be Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. I carry all the supplies I ever need to bake cookies, cakes, and pies from scratch in my toaster oven. Yum!

  2. Living in The Lightning On The Road -- Almost a Year and Counting

    Ford calls this a "Frunk" but I call it my Food Pantry.

  6. Living in The Lightning On The Road -- Almost a Year and Counting

    Thanks Nikos. I have seen very few teardrops and no Lightnings camping as yet. Certainly, I am probably one of a handfull with both Lightning and Small Camper doing this fulltime. Ha! That is the reason I posted to give anyone else dreaming of doing the same, and having the resources and...

    Lightning + Bean = Just thought I would add a post about how well my Bean Trailer meshes with my Lightning. I did my research for months before the purchase and this was the only one that fit my requirements. First, being over 6 foot, I needed a teardrop where I could not just sleep in a full...

  8. Living in The Lightning On The Road -- Almost a Year and Counting

    I am super conservative so always want as many back ups as possible. I seldom use the stove (especially poor in the winds one finds while camping) but if I need to conserve my electric reserve (for instance I am miles from the nearest fast charge station) I will put my electric hotplate and oven...

  9. Living in The Lightning On The Road -- Almost a Year and Counting

    I have followed the development of both the Pebble and Lightship for the past few years and I believe it will not just be their $100K+ price tags that doom them to eventual failure. They are both based on "current" battery technology and will certainly be obsolete before they reach a scale they...

  10. Living in The Lightning On The Road -- Almost a Year and Counting

    Since I now I have no permanent residence I usually have no choice but to fast charge. When possible I slow charge at hotels or campgrounds. For my first year of Lightning I charged at my farm on my 50a, but a year ago I sold the farm and am on the road everyday. I was paying 9 cents/kW (KY)...

    Correct. I am old school and continually do my homework each day's drive with various apps and maps and Goggle Earth. From the start I have never trusted NAV, even with updated AI, which often seems to be coded by a 16 year old. I read my Guess-O-Meter but view it as merely the opinion of one...

  12. Living in The Lightning On The Road -- Almost a Year and Counting

    My opinion is that it is all about attacking and embracing limitations. Most people are too soft and they find comfort just living in their self imposed cocoons. A majority of people find themselves limited in their lives by employment, family, finances, and their fear of actually trying...

    Sunset on the Salton Sea. I spent 6 rainy weeks in Oregon last Oct-Dec so am glad to get down here to warm and dry. I send you my umbrella. :cool: If I lived in your neck of the woods I might be "Grumpy Too". :LOL:

    Before I started doing what I am doing I researched to death solar options to power the truck but since most everything I own is carried with me I have neither the room nor the weight capacity for a solar set up. I think we are a few years away from a good solution for someone such as I. I do...

    PROMISES! PROMISES! My Ford Adapter has been on order since last Feb. but every month the order page adds a month.

  16. Living in The Lightning On The Road -- Almost a Year and Counting

    [How fast is your Lightning mobile wifi? Any limits on data?] It is the unlimted AT&T $20/mo. plan you can add to the Lightning. It is 5G and I get fast streaming coverage most everywhere I have been, surprisingly even places I go blank with my ipad and iphone 5g cell coverage. But I also carry...

  17. Living in The Lightning On The Road -- Almost a Year and Counting

    Solar panels do not help my truck. I carry 200 watt panel on the camper that keep the trailer's two 105a batts full under normal useage but my 1000 watt inverter limits what I can use externally (electric hotplate, oven). The biggest limitation is always leave my site with enough charge to reach...

    Thanks Dean - I send you a piece of sunshine and warmth for that nasty weather back home.

  19. Living in The Lightning On The Road -- Almost a Year and Counting

    It has been some time since I have posted. But I hope my experiences living "Homeless" on the road for almost a year might be of interest to other Lightning Owners. I am homeless by choice, having sold almost everything to live "light" as a constantly moving individual. I have travelled nearly...

    Ha - thanks, but Mr. Musk will have to get along without my business for now. I am doing just fine getting scammed by EA and EVGO.
