Originally they brought their fifth wheel trailer with them, but they soon discovered that mice and cold temperatures made it unsuitable to the harsh climate.

An air conditioner runs on a 2000 watt generator, and an aluminum frame and keeps the 27-foot camper just under 6,000 pounds. All lights and the water pump run on solar.
