boondocking

Guess we're a bit late. Just now looking for camping reservations for Thanksgiving in the Malibu CA area and not having much luck. Any chance of finding places to park and sleep for the night without getting hassled? THANKS!

This will be our first time boondocking and therefore using the fresh water tank and we have what's I'm sure a dumb question. Does the water heater work the same? Fill the fresh water tank, turn on the hot water tap inside and run it to fill the heater tank before turning on the heater? We have...

So, I've never really boondocked. We may go to a college football game next month. I have a 356qbq and a Honda 5000 watt generator. I have to turn the generator off from midnight through seven am. Will the battery run the fan for the heat for seven or eight hours with nothing else using the...

I have started the camper portion of my WTW vehicle by rebuilding an early 80's Grandby to fit on the back of a stretched Jeep YJ. So that the camper fits within the track width, I will be narrowing the camper by 5 1/2". Also because the original roof was in pretty bad shape, I want to go ahead...

So next weekend I'm going on a trip where there will be no plug in. But I am taking my generator. We will be using the camper in the mornings, lunch and then at night for dinner and to go to sleep... What do I do? Run generator 24/7 or off and on when using the camper a/c and stuff... if some...

I'll be taking my new Class C (3170ds) on my first Boondocking excursion in early November with a full house of 6 (2 kids). We'll be heading to Assateague Island National Seashore for some surf fishing and relaxation. The weather could be chilly and I'll be on an Oceanside site with no hookups...

It seems everybody wants to carry more, move from a 1/2 ton to 3/4, 3/4 to 1 ton, the high-end "expedition" campers are now on a Ford F550 chassis. That's the American way. Bigger is better, but what about the classic European expeditionary vehicles based on a Land Rover Defender where you have...

I would really like to take a short trip to try Boondocking in the area near Saint Louis. I own a gas generator (that may be a little too big and loud) and I have a 31 foot Flagstaff. Can you help me by either suggesting some places to try, or by providing a resource to help me find...

I am a newbie trying to get a ballpark estimate of the number of days the FR3-series can be boondocked with its 57-41-41 tank capacities. I realize the generator will need to be run periodically to charge-up the house batteries but the tanks are my biggest concern. The two of us would...

My wife and I both enjoy getting out into the mountains of Idaho in our Forester 3051S. We have found that the batteries do not seem to last quite as long as we expected. Our 3051 does have the larger, 12 cu.ft. fridge and most of the time we have very little running (lights/radio, etc.). I...

A few of us went up in the Lemhi Montains in ID to do some boondocking and saw nothing but animals the entire time. Took a couple hours to crawl up the mountain road to a great wide open spot at about 8000 feet. Nights dropped down to around 22 degrees, or so my outdoor temp gauge showed at...

I am hoping to do some boondocking close to home, any suggestions on where to do that in PA? Live in Lancaster County and willing to travel 3hrs.

First time boondocking with the new TT. Was a great weekend! Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

2014 266-KIRB I've taken my travel trailer back and forth across the country, and I've stayed at KOA's, Good Sam campgrounds, Cracker Barrel parking lots, Flying J's, Camping World parking lots, etc. I feel myself being drawn more and more towards boondocking. While I do have a generator to...

Hi Everyone, Has anyone ever dry camped at any beaches along the TX gulf coast? Can you recommend any spots to pull off and spend a day or two? The Mrs and I have done this for many years in trucks and tents but we recently purchased our first fifth wheel and would like to do the same with it...

why not LED lights throughout? ...thinking in terms of boondocking or just situations with no electrical.

Boondocking in N. AZ, Clint's Well area, 7000'

Dry camping here we come. I have been reading as much and as many of the posting on this subject and it is enough to warp the brain. All makes sense when reading it, but......... I think I am ready to put this new knowledge (?) to work, so here goes. Any comment/help would be appreciated. I...

If you could design your own Wildcat outfitted for dry camping, what top 5 things would you build in? Examples might be larger water and/or waste tanks, LED lighting, larger LP capacity, solar power(!), on-board generator, etc.

My husband and I just purchased a new TT yesterday and will take possession of it sometime this week. What a process! I had TT information overload from all of my research. And then, we went into the dealership to look at one particular trailer and left purchasing something completely different...
