Looking for alternatives...

ArToday, we took our RV to get the back window repaired and to the mechanic to get it looked over.  The carburetor needed to be cleaned out because it had been sitting for so long.  It's a 1976 Doge Chinook, but for it's age its been very well taken care of.  The interior is really nice, it just needs a new paint job.  Once it is out of the shop, I'll put up some pictures.  We found it on Craigslist for an excellent price of only $730 dollars!!!!  The guy really didn't care about the money, he just wanted it gone and out of his yard.  So, his loss was truly my gain!  Now that the summer is almost over it's a great time to go RVing here in Arizona!  I plan to stay down in the Southwest until the spring, when I plan to go back up north to Oregon and Washington.  Since, this is my first time ever RVing...I would like some suggestions from fellow RVers.  I am trying to live as off of the grid as possible.  I would like to eventually install solar panels on the RV.  But what are some other ways to live green in your RV?  While searching online I could only find information like using biodegradable toilet paper and limiting your water usage.  If you would  like to share ways you minimized costs as well, that would really help.  I am thinking about taking the stove and refrigerator out of the RV.  I'm not comfortable dealing with propane, and I don't want the extra costs.  I'm thinking of putting an ice cooler in the fridge, but mainly not eating a lot of perishable items or buy small quantities of it.  The stove takes up a lot of space and I could use that for extra storage space, so I want to take it out and turn it into cabinets.  In replace of the stove I would like to use Portable Gas Stove for boiling water,  Hibachi for grilling and a Camp Grill for when I'm at campsites or out in the wilderness, so I don't have to pay for charcoal.

I've also been looking into workamping, or camp hosting.  Where you work at a campground site for staying at the park for free and pay.  You usually work at National Forests, where I would want to be at anyways.  You help clean up the park for a few hours a day, and you can stay for free instead of paying to stay there.  I think it's a great deal and will make the money stretch farther.  I actually would like to go up to Canada and do that.  If there are any Americans that have workamped in Canada and would like to give me some more information on how to do it, that would be great!  Peace. ~Rain
