boondocking

Spent some time up in Northern AZ last week with the family. Usually at this time of year we are nearing fire restrictions and nice warm weather. Not this time! Snowed on us several times. With some nice days in between. I swear the weather in AZ is bipolar this year!

Love this place

Does anyone have any experience boondocking north of Bar Harbor, Maine? No real destination yet but trying to getting away for a bit.

I have a 2013 3270DS, great motorhome. The pump surges and very low water pressure to all fixtures.....Help.

We have a 2017 Rockwood 5th wheel. I'm confused about how / what we can use electrically with our solar panel and battery when drycamping. Can I use a hair dryer and curling iron or an immersion hand blender? Does the converter automatically switch from plug in power to battery and solar? When I...

2019 Isata 5 but I doubt that makes a difference. What steps need to be taken to ensure the generator (8K Onan) is powering what we need it to? Do I have to turn the inverter on? We have a couple lights on and our ceiling fans running. Seems to me that the batteries are draining quickly even...

Anybody ever boondock in Florida for spring training? How about in Arizona? Thanks for any info.

anyone ever boondock at sams clubs? Experience?:trink39:

I currently have 2 x 6V Golf Cart Batteries and a Honda EU3000IS with my 2014 A-122TH. I would like to understand how everyone is charging there batteries when dry camping? Obviously the less the generator runs the better. Do I need to get a battery charger? Or can I simply connect the RV to...

We just bought our 171rbxl and are trying to get everything set up for eventual boondocking. Will the electrical outlets run on solar power and a 3-4 battery bank?

As far as I can tell there are no BLM sites or National Forests in Massachusetts. Everything I've looked at says there's no free primitive sites anywhere in the state. RI and CT look barren too. I'd really like to take my TT out into the woods somewhere on a weekend off grid trip, but I...

Well, I managed to get away for four days and three nights at the Assateague National Seashore. It was just me and my 12yo Black Lab Rosie. My wife is not fan of winter camper unless it is in Florida! I stayed on the Oceanside Loop site#25. For those who don't know, Assateague has a State Park...

We normally camp in Illinois or Wisconsin and all the state parks have electricity. We are going camping in either South Dakota or Colorado and most of the places we want to go are no electricity. Water is not an issue, we are used to that. I have two deep cycle marine batteries for the...

I have the opportunity to set up my trailer for the summer on a friend's land. The land is 13 acres, and my friend is 7 hour drive away. The downside is no hookups at all, except for lake water if I want it. Lake is clean (tested as such) and could be used for showering. Dumping station is...

Hi folks! We are planning to be buzzing through Baker, California with our new 20 foot E-Pro February 28 (In a perfect world!). Anyone have a good recommendation for a Boondocking site for that evening? Thanks, Ridgekid

Well! We have been full timing since 2016, and never had an issue with the batteries! I also have not boondock more than 1 day. This past holiday season we decided to boondock 8 days, our 40 gallons fresh water, 25 gallons of spring water for cooking and the gas tank full to operate generator...

I have a standard issue Resmed CPAP machine and stumbled on a solution for using it on boondocking stops. Harbor Freight sells portable jump starters that are equipped with 12-volt DC outlets. Holds 15 amps and advertises 20 hours of power. I bought one at the pre-xmas sale price of $38...

I just purchased a 2016 Forester 3011class c. I am planning on tailgating this weekend and won't have access to electric. Temps are going to be in the 20s overnight. I will fill my 40lb propane tank and use that for the fridge and furnace. I will charge batteries on drive 6 hours and use my...

Installing 2000 watt inverter. Will this work? Attach a 30 amp female receptacle to the inverter. Plug into with your 30 amp power cord then attach the power cord to the coach. The same idea as hooking up to shore power. Will this set up send power to all coach outlets? Then be careful as to...

Tips

I'm looking for a small teardrop for boondocking. My only must have is a galley in back with storage for kitchen gear, cooler and water jug. Don't want A/C, TV, sound system, etc. Electric and propane aren't required either. Everybody builds these things nowadays equipped to the max. Wright...

I may be paranoid (doesn't mean somebody isn't after me) but with the movie Deliverance in mind, just how safe is boondocking? By boondocking, I mean isolated with no people within eyesight or hearing. Have any of you actually had an issue? TIA

Hi folks, I just up graded to a 2018 Chaparral 298rls and I am wondering how you fill the water tank when boondocking? I see where I can screw on a water hose to fill the tank, but how do I fill from a jug when I don't have a gravity dump fill hole? I'm I missing something?

We picked up our first “real” travel trailer a year ago and now want to start boondocking. I have a feeling we don’t have enough battery though; it can get rather cool at night. We have already completely killed our existing battery so I want to replace it anyway. My confusion is do I some...

FYI. I just finished a 3+ week of boondocking and I have to say my Isata 3rw performed perfectly. Out of the 7 RVs that I’ve owned over the last 40 or so years this one is by far the best. I will mention that I did replace both house batterys with two Interstate group 31 AGM batterys before I...
