boondocking

Just received this letter today asking fir input on fee increases at these two LTVA's in Arizona. A lot more than current 14 day and 180 day fees. Wonder if they do raise the fees hiw much if the additional revenue will actually be spent on THESE two areas? For those unfamiliar with these...

I just bought a '25 Campsite Reserve 26 CJ and am curious about generator/inverter needs when boondocking. The unit has a 150 watt solar panel w/solar controller. I modified batteries to 2 DRB100LFP lithium-ion batteries. The unit is a 30 amp electric and has a 15,000 BTU AC (Furrion). I'm...

Hi all. I just bought a new to me 2022 Shamrock 233S. Been reading threads on here like crazy. We are leaving for a trip to Rocky Mountain NP in two weeks where we will be 4-5 nights without electric hookup. Currently we just have the one 190w solar panel, one 12v 85ah battery and the original...

This weekend was our first boondocking / dry camping with the new E-Pro camper. It went great. The 200ah lithium worked great with the 400 watts of solar. We had sun Friday but light rain drizzle with clouds Saturday and Sunday. Solar kept up the 12v fridge, coffee maker, furnace, lights etc. We...

Our black tank is only 30 gal and I wanted to be able to spend extended periods beyond parks with dump stations, without tearing down camp, to drive to town. Enter this, https://www.amazon.com/Viking-Solutions-VS-VSL001-Game-Processing/dp/B00VXURFSG/ref=sr_1_19? Gave it the final test today...

Hi there. Relatively new to RVing and have never boondocked. I plan on stationing my 2019 25" Ultra Lite on a lot I own which has a well but no power. May have power a couple of weeks after I arrive. I have a Westinghouse 4500 generator and a single lithium battery. I have a number of...

I have a new 2024 Rockwood 2608bs TT and am planning a trip from NE PA to Florida in March, stopping twice, with 5+ hour drives between stops to arrive at a full hookup cg in Florida. I have 2 each 200W solar panels. If I start after plugging into shore power at home for at least a week while...

I am looking at a 2023 Flagstaff 25FKSs or a Rockwood 2506s. Neither come with a propane refrigerator only 12v/120. As it relates to power, is this a practical trailer for extended boondocking? Installing a two way or three way LP fridge does not sound like a great option, especially...

Getting ready to take my January trip to the SW desert. Expect to be totally off-grid for 2-3 weeks. Wondering how many who boondock with self contained trailers (vs. tent' van, car' camping) and use the outdoor shower with shower tent? I recall that over the last several years I've seen...

So here’s my situation, just picked up a ‘24 wildwood FSX 178BHSK and it’s already got solar on it. 1- 190watt panel, and 2- 6volt deep cycle RV batteries rated at 220 AH as of right now I do not have a generator for the trailer yet. I’m out for 7-10 days in early September for archery season...

I have opposing slide outs for my “galley“ area and sitting area. If I park at a Cracker Barrel or other parking lot overnight can I use my furnace with the slide outs closed? As long as I don’t have something blocking a vent.

Hello -- I have a few solar panels on my 2011 Rockwood Roo. I'm boondocking in Ohio; no hookups. My refrigerator on propane has been working excellently. But, the other day the temperature got down to 40 F. My fridge stopped working. When I try to turn it on (after reset), I am not getting any...

Hey All. Thought I would post and share my findings from my Weekend Boondocking Solar trip, keeping in mind everyones Solar numbers will vary with their setup, and location. First to mention, the days were in the mid 80's with partially sunny days. A beautiful Fall like weekend to say the...

We are heading to Nashville next month, my RV has a residential fridge, will we be ok to park at a Walmart or somewhere, have 2 showers and not worry about the truck not starting because of drained power?

Looking for info about the Teanaway Community Forest (WA state) and camping. Just wondering if anyone here has stayed in the area, and your impressions. We'll be pulling a 20ft Geo-Pro with a small pickup. Is the terrain trailer friendly, are the camping areas relatively quiet and private...

We're going full-time in July with the expectation to boondock at least 50% of the time with our 2 cats. We've never boondocked before and I'm a bit apprehensive about leaving our rig unattended all day while we sightsee. Plus, if it's hot I have to run the generator for many hours for the AC...

Hello all, I have a 2021 wildwood x-lite 171rbxl with power stabilizers. We will be boondocking this summer out west. As just another slow down was wanting to kill the power to the stabilizer jacks when they are down. I have tried pulling the labeled fuse but nothing I do seems to work...

Just thought I would continue to provide an update as I was one of the first Revolve Owners posting on here. I've criss crossed the US now on my fifth run between the west coast and Michigan and now added the southwest. Solar system - The solar can be tempermental. Especially if you've been on...

We're looking to rent from Outdoorsy or RV Share and a lot of folk rent out these Foresters so I signed up here today to ask a question. Assuming the owner allows boondocking, are these vehicles suitable for getting a little off road onto say forest roads in Arizona or any one of the many great...

Hello Cedar Creek Owners Question I have a lot in NC where we have not installed a well yet, leading me the need to add water to my tank for showers etc. etc. We have a 2021 385TH- while i can draw water from a bucket ( like the winterizing process) the pump only will draw with a faucet...

We have a Forest River Flagstaff MicroLite 22TBS travel trailer and are on our first boondocking trip. We are operating on solar power with a 1000 watt inverter only. On all our prior trips we have had full hookups and all outlets functioned properly on shore power. We found we do not have any...

Hi guys still learning the ins and outs of using my Wolf Pup 16BHS travel trailer. The dealer told me that the power outlets in the trailer cannot be used when boondocking. However, what about if I set up a solar system using a power inverter, or what about when plugged into a generator? Is...

Hello Does anyone know a good place to fill my fresh water tank near Prunedale CA? I am boondocking at a park in Prunedale and I don't want to haul my trailer full of water the 3 hour drive to get there. Thank you!! Sally

Living in a 2021 Freedom Express 246RKS off-grid while my new home is being built. (Keeping away both the nosy and the ne'er-do-wells!) The learning curve has been steep, to say the least, but after 8 weeks, I've figured out most stuff. Right now, I'm dealing with what looks like a bad seal...

I am trying to shutdown the parasitic draws in my trailer (T251SSXL). They should be similar to other trailers. I find we get 3-4 days on the battery even with a 100w solar panel. We are very stingy with lights and turn the water pump off when not in use. Right now, I resort to turning off...
