Driving a Ford 350 truck for the first time at our Florida Boondocking Campground

Hi everyone! We’re Nathan and Fabiola, an international couple (Michigan + Brazil), and we’re in the middle of our 15-day boondocking challenge in our new Brinkley Model Z 3515! 🚐☀️

In this episode, we travel to our next off-grid location: Hampton Tract Campground in Central Florida. But first, we hit a few bumps in the road…

We struggle to get potable water (Love’s Travel Stop wasn’t as helpful as we’d hoped), but we do manage to check off an important RV task—weighing our truck and trailer at a CAT scale. Knowing your weight is key to safe RV travel, and we finally got it done!

Once we’re settled into camp, we visit Safari Wilderness, a unique Florida destination with up-close views of exotic animals. 🦓🦒 Then comes a big moment—Fabiola drives our Ford F-350 Platinum for the first time!

We’re learning more every day and loving the freedom that boondocking brings—even with its challenges. Come along for the ride!
