Trust me when I say, you don’t want to skimp on water containers. When boondocking, if we want to stay but are running out of water, we use our 7 gallon water jugs to replenish the fresh water tank in our trailer.ħ gallon rigid water container: We carry three of these water jugs inside the Four Wheel Camper. However, we still bring with us all the same water gear we used when only traveling in our Four Wheel Camper, which does not have a water tank. Our Casita travel trailer carries 25 gallons of fresh water. Whether it be overcast skies or a shady campsite, it’s nice having an alternative power system.
BOONDOCKING TRAILER GENERATOR
Generator: We use a Honda 2000 generator with inverter for backup power when we’re not able to generate solar power.
Solar panels: We use a variety of different solar panels as Mark has been interested in experimenting with different setups. If you want to know more about DC power, solar panels, and the battery monitor go here: If you read enough Handy Bob you will know all you need to about managing your RV’s power needs. It will help you determine your power needs and keep track of the health of your batteries. Tri-metric battery monitor: Before you invest in upgraded batteries or solar power, get one of these. We have 2 in our Casita and 2 in our Four Wheel Camper. You can find our exact batteries online here. The perfect opportunity to take note of all the must-have boondocking gear that we love: BOONDOCKING GEAR FOR POWERīatteries: We use 6 volt golf cart batteries which we have sourced from All American Battery in Lake Havasu City, AZ. We’re currently spending 6 days boondocking in Arizona’s Coronado National Forest. There are plenty of cool campgrounds out there but beyond those is a whole world of public lands begging to be explored. Once you’ve outfitted yourself to be completely self-sufficient, you’ll never want to go back. All the gear that makes it possible (and fun) to camp without hookups, also known as dry camping, dispersed camping and primitive camping. Since our last gear guide was all about getting started RVing and the essentials you’ll want right away to get you to the campground, I thought I’d build upon that with this post that’s dedicated to all our favorite boondocking gear. THEN…he undoubtedly finds the coolest stuff and I immediately think, you guys, our awesome readers, should know about this stuff! Because we want you to enjoy camping as much as we do.
What happens is, he thoughtfully researches every purchase (something he is really good at and I am not) then I get to use or benefit from said purchases. I’m beginning to think I love sharing our gear with you guys as much as Mark loves sourcing it.
