Pre Baja 05 Modifications
I've gotten into the habit of doingthe modifications to Casa Azul at about this time every year so that they can be enjoyed on our annual migration down to Central Baja.
Now that I own property down there, we have been usingthe "Rancho"as our base camp and usingmeans other than Casa Azul to go explore (boat, boot, kayak, OP trucks).
Because of this we are staying in one place longer and taping our stores (running out of sh*t). So over that last few years I've done several modifications geared toward more beer, food, & water storage. That was all good and well until last trip when we ran out of propane!
One of the first modification of Casa Azul I did ten years ago was to mount a stationary propane tank under the box like on any typical motorhome. It did great until
last January when it ran out of propane 8 days before we were due to return to ourpinche normal lives in Esatados Unidos...
Then the epic swell came in, and there was no way in HELL that I was going ANYWHERE...other than out in the water until my arms fell off.
OK! THAN WE'LL DRINK WARM BEER!!!!
After the swell died, Sethzilla and I drove down to Gurrero Negro with a spare propane tank that Jorge Mora had (The owners of the rancho (20,500 acres that my pinche 14 acres is in), filled it up and then went to the hardware store and bought a regulator and some hose to fit it to the truck asa "quick fix"axulliary. Needless to say, the "propane issue" is on the top of this years list
So, this yearsfirst modifications are:
- Remove the Diesel Generator & associated components it the electrical system and fill space with another H20 tank
- Remove the fixed propane tank & replace with removeable tanks.
Hereare some first pictures of themodifications...
