Clive Watson’s Tips & Tricks: Finding the Best Secret Spots

Finding good camp spots off the beaten track can be difficult, sometimes a crap shoot. More often than not,  people do not want to give up their secret spots and to be honest you can’t blame them. We all go away from traditional RV parks and campsites for a reason. To prepare to find those magic “secret” spots, we plan the mileage to the area we want to explore and then navigate to water if possible.  My wife and I love finding sweet hidden spots next to a river or lake. When traveling to new areas asking locals for their

We have a crew of less than 40 people, and we are lucky enough to genuinely want to share time and adventures with each other outside of work. Whether it is camping or white

EC Terranova Energy Efficiency: A Technical Analysis Of Power Systems and Performance

Last week we took a look at the EarthCruiser power systems and associated consumption cycles and performance. This week we’re digging into system performance found in our soon-to-be-released EC Terranova (sneak peek interior design shots here). As relayed in the prior EarthCruiser-focused post, our engineering team is comprised of energy systems experts who specialize in the development and optimization of power systems.  These engineers have applied this experience over many iterations to the power systems in our expedition vehicles, ensuring they provide maximum efficiency and longevity. The EC Terranova expedition vehicle power systems findings differ from EarthCruiser power systems because of differences in the charging system
