    Boondocking Baja

    Just completed overlanding journey all the way down the Baja peninsula. Two weeks sufficient to do it, but next time I’ll allow three weeks so I can stay longer at my favorite spots. Entire trip can be completed without ever paying for a campsite. Most sites only accessible with 4wd. You can...

    Boondocking for bigger rigs

    I learned a lot by following this forum for a few years now. It might be time to give back a little. Would there be interest here if I shared a map of boondocking sites confirmed to fit rigs over 35 feet? And what would you do with it? I have been adding to the map for the past two years. We...

    Lose battery power quickly when boondocking

    Hello! We bought a new 2024 Grand Design Imagine 17MKE. It has two lead batteries. When we boondock, the batteries run out of power very quickly. I'm thinking it is due to the 12v electric frig. I even have to turn the frig off at night, and turn it back on in the morning, when the roof solar...

    Small generator boondocking

    I have a 2024 Entegra Reatta. When we are in national forests, we don't need the large generator running. We have a small Champion 2000 watt that we used on our two previous 5th wheels. Both were 50 amp and I just used adapters to get from the 50 amp plug down to 110 plug. I have a Southwire...

    Is 1100 watts of solar panels considered decent for occasional boondocking?

    We are looking at a new RV and one of the addons we can get with it, is a solar system. It includes 3x Furrion 370W panels mounted on top. It also has a 3000W/Pure Sine inverter, 2x 100AH batteries. The cost for this option is around $10,000. I realize they are probably jacking up the price, but...
