boondocking

Here’s our scenario, Two GeoPro 20BHS to choose from. One with the 12v fridge, one with duel fuel. We’re dry camping 99% of the time. One dealer says duel fuel is old technology they aren’t making them any more. Other dealer says good luck going longer than 5 days with an added solar panel and...

Where are some good Boondocking areas within a 100 mile radius?

What do you think the closest to boondocking ready RV Forest River has available? I am totally unfamiliar with anything FR makes except for the Class C we have.

Obviously I’ve not boondocked before. If I am boondocking I can look at the tanks to know when I have to get or dump water. Is there any gauge or meter that will tell me how much power is remaking? Other than being in the dark is there a way to know what % power we have left?

I think it was poor design to put a 12v ONLY refrigerator in my unit (Forest River 171rbxl) boonedocking the battery doesn't last has anyone upgrade to lithium batteries? What about charging them with the campers normal inverter/charger and also would my truck charge them ok our do I need to do...

We boon docked for two weeks came back camper dirty. Wife said to bad we can't use the Romba I go why not went and got it out of house picked everything off floor set it down pushed clean it went to work as we did other things found out that bottoms of doors cut off for cold air return was high...

I just purchased high quality skirting that can be easily put on and off. I always boondock in the winter. I would like to put a small heat source under the camper that is battery powered. Therefore need something that does not use much power. Do not need a lot of heat. Any suggestions?

Has anyone spent time at these two resorts during the winter and stayed overnight? We plan to ski on our way home to Ottawa from visiting our daughter in California in mid December. Any advice on places to stay? Although we don't need services, electricity might be nice. Thanks.

What Generator and wattage would be recommended for a 2020 26rr Toyhauler. I'd like to power as much as possible.

Hello everyone. I have a e-pro fd-19. Is there anyone that has a simple setup procedure for when I switch from full electric hookup to battery supply. I am not sure on how to use the inverter and how long the battery will last its two 6 volt deep cycle golf cart batteries connected in series...

Just purchased a 2021 Arctic Wolf 298LB that comes with a 12V 11cf residential fridge. I'll be purchasing an inverter generator - but - I also have a second alternator on my truck. Can I just re-charge batteries from the truck? If so, is it faster/fast? How long (approx.) does it take to run...

How do you all use a CPAP when not plugged into shore power?? I can't run my generator at night. Can I use a portable power pack, those all in one things that can jump your battery etc???

When arriving at a state campground or ones with no hook-ups, how do people fill their freshwater tanks when they arrive? I do not want to tow my camper with all the weight of a full tank and also dont want to fill it by hand 5 gallons at a time. The campsite we just visited in VT had a fresh...

Hello From Kentucky... We are Larry & Tracey and we are new owners of a 2022 GD Imagine 2600 RB and it will be delivered to us next week. I would like to say we are experienced with the RV life, however, we are not. This is our first venture into camping with our own home rather than a tent...

WE are new to the RV life style. i have a stock flagstaff classic 832 FLSB with 2 deep cylce batteries. would i be able to boondock at least a couple of nights with this. my planned experiment is next time i am out not to hook up to the power and see how long and what i can use.

I've been looking at used Class C's and I had a thought and I'm not sure if it would work but it intrigues me. I have an electric car that I would bring along as a TOAD. It got me thinking about finding a way to use the 64kW battery in my car to provide power for boondocking. Anyone else do or...

Hello All, First post here. I'm a new Kodiak Cub owner. After purchase of my trailer, I have realized my outlets only work when I am connected to shore energy (the 30 amp trailer cord is hooked up to an external power source). Is this the norm? Is there a way around this? I plan on...

We are camping this weekend west of Rapid City in our WP 17JG and this is our first place without power. It doesn't have water hookups either or a dump station, but I think we've figured that out. We can run the generator from 6a to 10p. We are renting a Honda EU3000is. It's going to be warm...

Shakedown of my new battery/inverter setup. We spent 5 days without hookups in Utah which was a good test for my 3 100 ah Battleborns, and my Power Tech On 2000 watt inverter with remote on/off switch. My only issue with the whole operation was, every time I turned on the inverter, the GFCI in...

Anyone know of open lands in Pa for boondocking? I always hear about blm lands out west but wondered if there is any old coal lands in Pa that you can boondock on?

If ya'll venture out to the PNW this summer and want to a place to boondock, we've got a 20 acre fallow pasture with a beautiful view of Mt. Hood you're welcome to stay on for a while. We're thinking of turning it into an RV park since there isn't much else available within 20 miles of our...

Hello all. After reading a post about filling your fresh water tank without pressure.... such as when boondocking. I think it was Titan Mike that described his set up and inspired me to go this route. First I got an RV pump that is identical to my current RV pump. That way I have a spare...

My family has a Rockwood 2509s. 90% of the time, we camp with full hookups. But as we progress in Rv'ing, we want to expand our boondocking capabilities, slightly. We also want to be prepared, should shore power go out for an extended period of time. We are planning on roadtrips where we...

Hoping this is the correct place to post this. I'm wondering how you go about finding boondocking "sites." We are in MN and looking to take our RV to some of the National Forests in the area. We'd like to do some boondocking, but how do you figure out ahead of time where to go? How do you...

Novice boondocker. Two questions. I know they are very basic. How long will it take using my generator to recharge my two flooded batteries if they are at 50 percent. If I only use my water pump for navy showers and dishes. And virtually no other electricity. How long will my two interstate...
