were the two most helpful websites in equipping the Unity. One of the more complicated decisions was selecting a BBQ grill that would work with the quick connect propane on the coach. We chose the NextGrill from Home Depot and were able to find all the connections except the hose at one store. The hose came from Amazon and it all works great on the Unity.
The trip from Lordsburg New Mexico to Austin Texas was full of adventure. We stayed close to the US – Mexico border as much as possible and were amazed at how many check-stations we had to go through.
We boon-docked the first night in Las Cruces New Mexico at a rest area. 
The next morning we were off to White Sands New Mexico.
Fort Davis was our next stop and my first experience with a macerator. A macerator is like a garbage disposal for your black water and gray water holding tanks. When you are ready to dump the macerator pumps the waste out for you.
The next night we stayed in Big Bend National Park and were able to camp in the Chisos Basin. The warning signs said no vehicles longer than 24 ft. but the Unity made it like a champ.
The next day we headed to Seminole Canyon State Park where we hiked the canyon. From Seminole we went to Concan on the Frio River. This area is known for tubing down the river.
Once we got to Austin we started equipping our Unity for the year-long journey across this nation.
The sales tax on new vehicles in Arizona is 8.25% but in Texas it is 6.25, since we live in Texas and like lower taxes we had the local dealer make an out of state delivery. This entailed having the dealers driver, drive our Unity to the New Mexico state line where we took delivery.
