dry camping

I just found out after hours and hours of research to arrive at the RV that would suit my needs. Even got a couple of quotes and ready to negotiate. Then by chance, I find out that the refrigerator is a WD-282FWDC, a compressor model, not a three way. My idea of being able to dry camp for...

We've been out 5-6 times this year but, all hooked up to city water. This past weekend, we were dry camping at the beach and could not get any water pressure. Yes, the freshwater tank was full and yes, the water pump was turned (and could hear it running) but, no water pressure. We did hear a...

When dry camping with my forester 2291S I have not been able to get the water system to work. The water tank is full. I have tried the control panel switch in both water and pump positions. My batteries are charged at about 14volts. The pump never starts. Am I correct in assuming the system...

Good afternoon, We took our 2404T HiLo dry camping for the first time two weekends ago. Everything went swimmingly other than one electricity/generator issue I ran into on day two. Hoping someone will have some insight Day 1 - as we prepare dinner with batteries fully charged, I plugged...

Planning for future trips where we will not have shore power and will be dry camping. Longest we would most likely be dry camping would be 3-4 nights. I use a Phillips Dreamstation CPAP machine. I recently discovered they sell a dc power cord for the CPAP machine, and our roo 21dk TT has a 12V...

Hi all, Hope everyone is emerging from sheltering in place in one piece. We have had the rig (RL230 5th wheel, 2018) plugged in to A/C for a while, using it as a guest room and outdoor fridge. Just took a short trip and noticed no evidence of 12 volt in the main cabin when disconnected from...

Hello all, we have a couple dry camping activities planned this year one near Staunton VA and one at Watkins Glen NY. I would like to make the 4 and 9 hour tow with a dry water tank. Any options? We are new to dry camping and want to cover my bases. 29’ Crossroads Sunset Trail. Thanks Rob

Going to Glamis for the first time . Glamis doesn’t have any electric hookups. I have a Dynaquest 320xl . I just replaced the 3 coach batteries. So I understand I run the inverter on the way out to keep the fridge running and keep things cold. When I get there I’ll be running off batteries and...

I bought a camp trailer earlier this year and am a newbie. I have a couple hunting trips coming up this winter that I plan on taking my Cherokee 284DBH TT and camping in. We'll be out in the middle of no where, no water or power hook ups so would be using the fresh, grey, and black tanks and...

While out in the forest in our new 2019 Eagle HT 25.5 REOK we discovered we cannot gravity fill the fresh water tank like our old 2013 bunk house model. Is it true you have to turn the pump off and bleed the faucets dry to get the siphon functionality to perform properly. My husband is ready...

I have a 2016 GT 329DS with a residential fridge. Because we will be doing a lot of dry camping, I’m looking to get solar to keep the batteries charged so I can keep the fridge running and some other electric items to run off the power we receive from solar through the batteries. I’ve called...

Hello, We just purchased a Chaparral 336TSIK fifth wheel. We are currently dry camping and would like to do some cooking indoors but can’t seem to operate the range hood fan. The only control seems to be on the microwave which will not work unless we are plugged in to power. Unfortunately...

Hello, new to this forum and my first post! We're moving up from a TT we've been camping with since 2014 (closing in on 300 nights). I searched first and found this thread asking the same question 18-months ago Basically how to you utilize the power recliners when dry camping. Several of the...

Interested in taking your RV to the track for the Formula 1 race in Austin later this month, but saw that the event is sold out?? Well, I have a pass and I'm not going to be able to use it. I am asking $400 which is list price, no markup. I'll even take care of the cost of sending it to you...

Hi all! I came across a solar trickle charger on Harbor Freight for $13. I don't think it's strong enough but it gave me the idea that maybe a bigger one would work to keep the battery charged up when we dry camp. We only use the lights for the most part. What do you think? Does anybody...

I've been working on an upgrade for the Harris 27D170 battery that came with our 2019 GreyHawk 26Y. We plan on doing a lot of dry camping, and the Harris battery was not going to cut it. After a few weeks of research, I bought these two NPP NP6-200Ah AGM Deep Cycle batteries based on price and...

In March I purchased a 2018 Flagstaff 25DKS Travel Trailer. I just camped without electric hook up for the first time. The battery went from 4 bars to 1 bar in one day. Even with only toning one interior light as needed in the evening and water pump only as needed, the battery discharged in...
