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! We are heading out from Scranton PA to Syracuse NY for the NY State fair on Friday. Boondocking in the Pink Lot. Great deal! $25 a night, and $10 day fair admission. Anyone else going? If not, check it out! Close bathroom, shower, water and dump. All entertainment in the fair is...

With the advent of solar power on RVs (such as it is) the numbers of folks that want to utilize, expand and explore its use on an RV so they can "get off the grid" seems to be exploding. I've spent my time doing those things and not interested, much, any longer.....but IF I was I think I, and...

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...

We have four solar panels on our GD 399TH. They're great; love 'em. But I can't tip them. So, winter boondocking, when the sun is low in the south tilting would be a great feature. However... almost EVERY tilt mechanism I see is just "one way". Generally tilted toward the curb side of the...

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...

Hi all, In March of 2023 I bought a well-maintained and clean 1997 Roadtrek 190 Versatile on a Dodge Ram Van b3500 chassis. I made a few mods and changes over the next couple months and moved into it with two friends and started traveling, climbing, hiking, and adventuring from Arizona, up the...

Where my skoolie peeps at? Been driving back and forth on the island highway trying to find a place to park it for the weekend and getting chased around by locals. I'm in a 1987 38' bus and can't be doing this! Help, please? Where can I boondock near nanaimo? Locals just give red herring...

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...

I've been researching boondocking and offgrid usage with a class B camper van, but i guess even with a very expensive lithium battery setup and a secondary alternator with a voltage regulator, you can only run an AC offgrid for 1-4 hours... With a typical manufacturer setup, you can run an AC...

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?

Solving the sometimes you get lucky problem. In-between glamping sites with a new best friend 10 feet away on all sides, we do our best to mingle with the extreme adventurers. I know you boondockers are out there because I've met a lot of you, usually right before I have to phone for a tow...

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...

Unusual 2017 Roadtrek ETrek class B with lots of extras. This rig is easy to drive and amazing for camping without a hookup, but still has all the hookup features you might want. $99,999 Built on 2016 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 3.0 liter V6 diesel, 4wd with low range, LWB extended 3500 dual real...
