My 1999 Seabreeze has been my full time home since May, I have been boondocking close to family & have made a few upgrades, such as a new propane tank, new toilet, flooring, a ac unit, & a new outside generator. My goal is to have solar panels up on it by the spring.

Like that wrap around front window

Interior shots?

whats your plan for solar, trickle charge the batteries or more?

That looks an awful lot like our 99 Seaview. Your’s is a little longer, and slightly different graphics on the side. We’ve owned ours for 2 years now (3rd owner) but were stationary for most of it. I love our motorhome. If it wasn’t going to be so cold this winter here (southern BC, Canada) we’d be in it for our 3rd winter.

We have about 100w of solar on the roof – keeps the batteries up easily. this year I also installed a switch so I could switch the solar from the coach batteries to the engine battery because I have a small power drain I can’t find. So when I need to I can just switch over and top up the engine battery as needed. I’ve charged it from dead to able to start the engine in about 24 hours just using the solar.

I also installed a 2000w pure sine inverter this year, but don’t have the battery capacity to use it much yet. Next year I’ll get a couple more 6v batteries to run the inverter, so we can go boondocking and still have TV, internet etc.

We’re also planning our longest trip yet for next spring – headed to the Yukon for a few months. I’m really looking forward to it!

the only issue I have is because of it’s age and apparent rareness (not seeing a lot of these older national coach RVs anywhere) it’s hard to find info on it. For example, I need to drain our fresh tank to winterize, but can’t find info on how to do that. I’m thinking of just using the water pump to pump the last 10 or so gallons out. BUT that’s a minor thing and I’ll probably figure out a mod to make it easier to do in the future.

Would love to see photos, before and after. 🙂

it’s huge innit! what’s the wheelbase on that vehicle? turning radius give you much problem when boondocking? I’d have to cut down at least one tree just to get it onto my place! I bet the inside is pretty spacious, and cushy as well. probably twice the square footage of my cabin.

when I bought one of the following it was about $65, the price has crept up a bit since then. amazing little device, every RV should have one of these or equivalent imo, it’s amazing how small a battery can be and still start a good sized engine.
