Boondocking if defined as a non-camping area....well, not yet, but it's been a long time since we car-camped and we are still learning our way around.

But dry camps? Yea, although it's important for us to have water because the Camp-inn tank is 8 gallons, just enough for one camping day, two if you really work it, so I at least like a water source.

We only use power for lighting or a laptop to watch DVD's, so 72 amp-hours is quite a bit, at least if you don't watch movies anyway.

I'm hoping to get a solar package installed at some point. If I could get two or three amps, maybe 4 amps I would be golden even if I was using the HF radio.

For our uses, unless we are staying for several days or temps are really high [meaning we want the A/C], power is a luxury.

I'd like to do more boondocking, but in CA these days it's difficult - sites are not as easy to get to as when I was backpacking!
