Sierra
The big red rig, 1 ton diesel, perfect for the R25 Tug but overkill for a CD 25 but decent towing mileage (between 12 and 16 depending on the terrain) and will crest any pass at the speed limit (900 ft lbs of torque)and only need the exaust brake all the way down.(heavier duty trucks may have the same engine power as lighter dutys but have WAY more powerful brakes, and on this truck I have seen up to 90hp of exaust brake hold back and will hold us to under 60mph on the steepest downgrades with the CD25) also only the 1 ton comes with the Aisin trans that won't overheat when towing.

A tight fit trying to add the Airhead, sink, and storage for extended cruising into a CD 25 head, under the sink you can see the raw water foot pump that saves tank water.

MAYA MAYI our self built Roberts 45 anchored in Shelter Cove the most southerly point of mainland Australia enroute back to the U.S.

Boaterhoming with Sequoia in 2016 camped at Organ Pipe National Monument on the way back from Mexico

The new more efficient Isotherm Cruise fridge. I did need to enlarge the opening just a bit to fit it in.

Removable 170 watt panel is spaced up from an aluminum sheet with felt dots and silicone the angle is bolted to the arch with U bolts and also unbolts from the panel for storage. I moved the anchor light back and made it foldable so I can stow the dinghy on the cabin top and also not shade the panel. (Aluminum has to have all the surface sanded down to remove mill scale so it doesn't pit corrode near salt)

$Our steel cruiser \"Audacious\" that I rebuilt everything from stem to stern over 4 years about to anchor off Chacala north of Puerto Vallarta Mexico 2014. My first solar system, 300 watts ran the boat.$

Just added another 170 watt lightweight Sunpower solar panel that is easily removable so when we are anchored out in Baja we will have almost 400 watts (almost 30 amps midday) of power to run the watermaker, fridge and freezer. We have 2 gp. 31 house batterys. So different than when we started cruising over 40 years ago!
