Your outdoor carpet is a fantastic idea I can’t believe I haven’t thought of it

Great video to introduce new folk to boondocking and solar. We have been FT for 3 1/2 years and found we enjoy boondocking a lot. In fact, for the last year and a half we have been living in our 36' Class A motorhome entirely off grid. We have 620 watts of solar mounted on the side of our MH that we lift to face the sun. But just have standard FLA golf cart batteries. We will be upgrading to lithium this year as the price has fallen quite a bit. One advantage we have in our bigger MH is larger tanks - 95 gallons of fresh water and 50 gallons each of gray and black. Our gray always fills first, so we transfer some gray water to the black tank to last the full 14-day camping limit that is typical on BLM and FS land. We have a little 600-watt PSW inverter that we use to run our 55" UHD TV, DVD player, sound system and desktop computer all at once. If we need more power, say to run an air conditioner or microwave, we have a 5,500w generator as a back-up. We have learned that elevation is your friend. We boondocked all summer last year in the mountains of Colorado and never needed to run our air conditioner even once, as the weather was so mild. We really enjoy the lifestyle of being free range humans.

Travel trailer has WAY more storage capacities normally, it depends on the rig though. In our case we lost 90 gallons of fresh water and a ton of roof space, so our boondocking capabilities in this are less. BUT we can go to more places in this RV than we could in the last. It's all a give and take. - Liz

There are 2 fan units installed for the fridge. The fan unit inside the refrigerator is to push the warmer air through the evaporator coils and keep the refrigerator at a more consistent temp throughout. The other fan is outside underneath the roof vent. It evacuates the hot air out from behind the cooling system helping it operate much more efficiently.

We'd love more water supply that's our weak link. We can go 5 days on 29 galloons if we're smart about it but then re-up. The solar is sufficient. One extra battery would go a long way. But you make do with the space given. We also have an alternator charger which is a game changer. We didn't have it when we filmed this video.

Soldiers in World War II, stationed in the Phillipines, used it to describe a remote, rural or bushy area and when they came home it worked its way into American slang as 'the boonies'.” 😉

@SuperSushidog

That rig from the factory would be sweet, but I don't think you will ever see something like that on anything other than an overlander, cause everyone's off grid needs are different. We are FTers who boondock a lot, (We are doing so now.) so have added a 620 watt solar array on the side of our RV, so we can angle it toward the sun based on latitude and season for 20-25% greater output, and easier cleaning compared to flat, roof mounted panels. We have 90 gallons of fresh water in our Class A MH (with another 15 gallons in our toad.) However 80 gallons of propane is huge and I believe excessive. Out 24 gallon (100 lb) tank is sufficient for a month or more of off grid use. Maybe you're thinking of 80 lbs of propane rather than gallons. Yes, our 36' National Tropical came with a heated underbelly and dual pane windows, which I consider essential. We also use Reflectix on the inside of our windshield and a 5,500 w generator to run our 2 roof ACs, microwave, and for supplementary battery charging when needed. We find our 600w PSW inverter to be sufficient to run our 55" UHD TV, sound bar and blu ray player along with a desktop computer (with a powerful, but power miser AMD RYZEN laptop processor), speakers and monitor, all at the same time. A 3000w inverter is more than you really need, or can utilize with a 400w battery bank. Next year we will be adding over 3,000 watts of solar on our roof and a 14.4kwh 48v battery bank to run a 48v DC mini-split heat pump. We will then add a 3,000w inverter, but without a large battery bank and massive solar array, a 3000 watt inverter will empty a 400Ah battery bank in about an hour and a half running it at capacity. The most cost effective battery bank now can be made with 280 AH prismatic cells. You can build a 16 cell 280 AH 48v bank (or a 1,120 ah 12v bank) for under $2k including the BMS - about the cost of only 2 Battleborns but with10 times the capacity making them only 20% of the cost of the BB batteries per KWH.
