Fake rock, real light

If you go visiting other van dwellers during longer winter nights, you might have trouble finding where you parked your van—especially if the visit included some adult beverages. A flashlight is good if you know the direction you need to head. Otherwise, a light on the van can be handy. A porch light, if you will. "Ah, there I am, over there."

So, I got this solar powered yard light. It comes on automatically when it's dark. The light pivots in the "rock." There's a switch to choose between warm-ish or cool-ish light. Pointed at the van, the vehicle becomes a shining beacon in the night welcoming home the weary—assuming I'm coming from a direction where I can see the lighted side. Hmmm, maybe I need one for the other side.

  2. I like that you can point it at your own RV instead of having it shine on the neighbors. Of course I wouldn't put it out in time for it to gather any solar power. :)

  3. And just where might one find one of these fine lights?

    1. I got this one at Lowe's Home Improvement, though I suppose Home Depot might have them, too.

    2. Thanks! After 8 weeks in Capitol Reef and Zion, I'm cooling my heels for a bit in Casa Grande where there is both a Lowe's and Home Depot. Debbie
