    I've learned a lot from Burning Man campers. The pump up sprayer is one of the best lessons, both for "showers" and for cooling down. And if you're dry-camping (boon docking) for an extended period, then things like an evaporation device to dry grey water to solid waste, solar power, and most of all just being a human without technology has the biggest impact. I'm often wondering what John Muir would have thought about a 30'+ RV in the redwoods.

    Great video with lots of great ideas. One thing we do while extended dry camping is while taking a shower we stand in a rubbermaid tote. This captures much of our water used while showering and in turn we keep a water pitcher to fill the toilet bowl prior using the restroom. It keeps the water out of our grey tank and we are able to double use the water to aid in flushing our toilets. Cutting down on water twice. Keep up the great content. Take care and Safe Travels.

    I have used wastewater totes for years and recommend them for everyone. If you are in a campground that doesn't have sewer hook-ups, this is easier than moving the RV just to dump. Great suggestion about the jerry can. I recommend keeping a package of sanitary wipes where my dump valves are.

    One trick we used on the boat was a 2 gal. hand held sprayer. You can see the water level. You just pump it up to get the pressure, adjust the nozzle and do a quick rinse. Another, one of my very favorites is the 5 gallon Super Solar Shower. They're black so when put in the sun they heat the water. Both keep you keenly aware of just how much water you are using. Thank you for the great tips.

    I am a boondocker at heart also. Don't forget those solar panels! If you are a serious boon docker, you will have to generate power to put back into those batteries, plus, a good controller (MPPT) to ensure that you are making good use of every little bit of power generated! As for the water, don't forget the "hows to's" of taking those low water consumption showers, water only needed to flush in the toilet, etc. For most couples (in an Airstream) you can last at least a week boon docking without having to go to town to dump and refill. We also save the dirty dishes for one massive clean up rather than using water each time you dirty a fork or spoon. Thanks for this video!!!

    I have two suggestions: 1. Regarding the wipes, Walmart has the Equate wipes, they are as good as Cottonelle, but a lot less expensive. I buy the 3-pack for almost $4, and/or the 6-pack for $5.96. 2. I make a great body wash in an 8 oz spray bottle. Mix together, 2 oz olive oil, 2 oz alcohol, 4 oz of pure water, a few drops of peppermint oil, or tea tree oil (whatever you scent preference is.). Shake and spray on your face, etc. to wash. wipe off with a wipe or damp cloth. Thank you for this video, I always enjoy your show. Traveling Mercies and God bless you!

    As a plumber what I did to the kitchen faucet and shower head is install a water saver disk in the aerator of the faucet and the hose where it attaches to the shower head. They're about the size of a dime with a 1/8th inch hole in the center and will conserve water very well. The lavatory faucet I installed a low flow aerator that they use with an instant hot point of use electric water heater that you install under the lavatory sink it's below .5 gpm flow. This has worked great for two of us boondocking.

Our grandkids ask for Berkey-juice instead of soda. The Go-Berkey is small so it requires more refilling than the bigger versions, but we store the Berkey juice in the Fridge and it is so good.

My travel trailer is under 23 feet from Hitch to bumper but with the truck the combined length is 42 feet. It would be great to see videos on navigating between the refueling Islands. Another concern is getting safely on and off of an RV roof. I’ve probably watched 50 videos of people climbing a ladder and never showing the transition from the ladder to the roof.

    We're ordering our new motor home with an Onan diesel generator and a 400W roof top solar system. We don't plan to boondock but we are concerned that a bad storm may take out an RV Park/Resort's electric service. We both use electric shavers and too many other things in the RV will be useless as well. We don't have water flow restrictors in our house but can see using them in the RV so noted to the shopping list! The RV comes with an inverter but we're adding a 'whole house' surge protector.

    If your camper is equipped with a winterizing port I will use a short hose to suck the water from my Jerry can so I do not have to hold it. It can either be left this way and change the cans as they empty or, with our camper, the gravity fill hole and outside shower is right there. I stick the outside shower hose into the gravity tank fill. Turn on the shower and the pump sucks the water from the jerry can and puts it right into my tank. Lets me walk away and do some other things for a few minutes while it drains the jerry can.

    We're new to the RV world, thanks for all you do! First day I discovered 2 products that few other than musicians or those with experience in studios have heard of and wanted to share. One is "Gaffer's" Tape, it looks, sticks and feels like duct tape, the only real difference is that it lifts clean off nearly any surface leaving no sticky mess behind, available in many colors and widths. The other is "Studio Foam" sound absorbing and insulating 1'x1' panels. Both are very useful, if anyone would like more info let me know. I used both building a sound reducing box for a small generator that converts to a solar hot water heater insulated with 2" recording studio foam panels. A sheet of 1/4" plywood cut in 4 pieces can connect as a 3 sided box & back to 4x8 with attached channels/cleats. 2" clear plastic (PVC also works) is attached to each piece, they connect to make 8 or more winding (like a maze) rows with a valve at the bottom. Leaned against anything in direct sun 2' off the ground on, 8 - 10 gallons can be put in, I leave an 8 gallon garden tank connected on top and a spray tank that fills on the side on the bottom. In bright, hot sunshine it will produce very hot in a surprisingly short amount of time. Thanks again for all your good deeds! info@stspros.com

    S and K, Two things I like to have for boondocking: A charcoal grill and disposable eating tools like plastic flatware, paper plates and cups. A charcoal grill saves propane makes BBQ flavor in most food items and keeps cooking oder and heat outside. I purchased a cheep folding grill at Walmart for $15, I also keep a non-stick, fiberglass grill mat (check B,B&B $10 for two) on hand to allow for grilling vegetables, some fruits, sandwiches and pizzas. Disposable eating tools have the upside of no water use and minor cleanup effort with a down side of more trash to dispose. Gotta weigh the pros and cons, i.e. it might be less hassle to haul trash than to haul water and regarding the grill some food is not grill friendly and it can be a bother to add fuel (charcoal) to extend the cooking time. Thanks for your list, I enjoy your channel and hope to run into you some day. Jim

We have been at the TT life for a long time, and I have got to say - the blue pooper, should be one that comes with a built in loop for towing (poop is heavier than water :) Not to mention, many remote locations allow for gray water dumping (not black for anyone that reads this and PLEASE DON'T) but not at campsites. Sure would like to see how you haul yours (or do you put it in the back of your truck). We placed ours on a hitch basket, but a better and cheap solution has got to exist.

    It was your video mentioning that you were switching over to LED that got us started on it. It's a bit of an experiment with what to use and where. We found the soft white lights were good in some areas of the trailer but were not enough for the reading lights over the bed.

    Sunscreen or other chemicals on your face also transfer to your pillowcase making more laundry sooner too. Those cleaning wipes and dry shampoo are essential (used a lot this past summer, esp. having 2 teenage girls! ) Great video!!

    Guys: I have extensive experience wilderness backpacking ( carrying everything on your back for a 1 week hiking trip) . There are some excellent water filters for filtering stream or lake water. Some of these will filter substantial volumes of water for safe use. This would be excellent supplemental source of fresh water when boon docking. Enjoy your videos greatly.

    I had a hi-lo trailer that held only about 11 gallons of fresh water. My remedy was to get a 45 Gal water bag. I built a wood box that was 4 x 8 x 6". With plywood top that was hinged to open from back and put water bag in there. And stored other items on that. Then when needed I would transfer that water via hose to trailer tank.

    The phone battery that you showed in your video is good, but I love my battery bank even more: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017QUHB44/ I own all Mac products (MacBook Air, iPad, iPhones, etc) and this battery bank is AWESOME to recharge all of those products, not just a phone. It also charges anything that recharges via USB or mini-USBs, such as walkie-talkies and cameras. One battery pack that does it all! We even left it out on accident and it got DUMPED on by a really wild rainstorm, and it still works like a champ! I can't more highly recommend it. The only part I don't love is that it won't recharge directly from a solar panel. You can only recharge by plugging into a 120-volt outlet. Otherwise, it's awesome - wouldn't leave home without it!

    Enjoy your videos. I made a few notes on what to get before we head out to the Mighty Five. However, a basic power inverter is a "Modified Sine Wave" and not recommended for electronic devices such as computers and tvs. It is best to have a pure sine wave inverter for sensitive electronics. Basic inverters are good for lights bulbs and small electric motors (or my soldering iron).

  • @LongLongHoneymoon

    You know, when I was researching the 2WD/4WD issue a decade ago, I read a lot of opinions. The bottom line is that 2WD has many advantages especially for towing (better mileage, lower ride height, better handling, less maintenance, and lower up front cost). I once did the math; we've probably saved over $10k in fuel costs alone by opting for 2WD. But of course 2WD has one big disadvantage - if you get your rear wheels in slippery grass or loose sand, you will discover it. ;) The only time we've ever gotten stuck, 4WD vehicles also got stuck (long story, but a huge group of us were camping in a muddy field). I think you should probably carry some sort of traction aid with you, just in case. We carry one now, though we've never used it.

    Reminds me of a story once....long ago...when a group of us were "four-wheeling: 3 4-WD's and one 2-WD. I and the other two with 4 WD all got stuck, not once, but twice, in a large and rather infamous mud bog. My friend with a 2WD Ford had to pull us all out, twice each! LOL True story. Thing is, HE knew how to drive and we, having 4 wheels, didn't - relying on the highly over-rated 4's. As I've said, I've owned 5 pickups and this is my first 2-wd, and my first diesel. Already, it has payed off in dividends. Ours is a Ram Ecodiesel and we are seeing 18+ mpg towing - nearly 30 when not.

I'm originally from FL. and currently living in VA. We are working our way toward becoming full time nomads. I know that camping equals nature...and rodents and bugs. Do you have a video on how to deal with pest control in your RV? If so, please link me here! I saw your vid about important kitchen items, where you briefly showed an interesting mouse trap you used, but would love to see a video completely dealing with RV pest control. I enjoy certain bugs, but "outdoors". Then there are certain bugs that I could completely do without. Please inform on the good, bad and ugly of it. 😂 Thanks for all of your info!
