    Replacing plug for water tank drain

    The plug for our water holding tank somehow broke. Nothing like starting your first day of a week of boondocking with your water pouring out. Where can we find a replacement? We have an ‘88.

    Boondocking and Batteries

    Buying a 2019 Georgetown XL 377TS. It has 4 flooded coach batteries (2 under the stairs/2 in the compartment behind the stairwell). Thinking they are 6V but not sure. Took a couple of pics to figure the wiring. Looks like they are in parallel to me but not sure. Trying to figure the AMPs to...

    Boondocking in Northern AZ

    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!

    Electrical and boondocking

    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...

    Newbie Boondocking.

    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...

    Boondocking New England

    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...

    Not used to boondocking - want to be ready

    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...

    Seasonal Boondocking Site

    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...

    Hubby and I have been full-timing in our Chateau 22E since late August, but just started boondocking this month. We have 2 brand new 12v 150ah batteries wired in parallel.
