Goodbye Motorhome, Hello Cricket

When you ask avid RVers how they came to choose their current rig, they’ll often recount all of the not-so-right setups they’ve had. For most, finding the right unit takes a bit of experimentation and while our motorhome offered many wonderful advantages, it simply wasn’t the right fit for us.

Enter the Cricket.

Yeah, it’s a bit strange looking, but it really fits the bill. With a laser cut aluminum super structure, it’s light enough for Ruby Jean to pull.

The interior is built like a tank, but it’s is also extremely flexible with lots of truly useful storage.

Of course it’s more minimal than the motorhome, but it’s not lacking in amenities. The Cricket boasts a kitchen (with hot water and fridge/freezer!), an outdoor shower, and even a cassette toilet!

Best of all, everything (except the optional A/C unit) will run for days on the 12-volt dual-battery and 40 lbs. propane system, making off-grid camping a natural choice.

And keeping those batteries charged is easy with our solar suitcase!

Oh, and we don’t have to go camping without our bikes thanks to this handy roof rack.

So let’s quit blabbing about it and hit the road! Hey, those Rocky Mountains look pretty cool…
