![]() ![]() Depending on the set up of your camper this can be done several ways. But what if you could get additional water? We’ve been able to seriously extend our time in dispersed camping locations because we’ve been able to procure additional water and get it into our fresh water tank. I already pointed out that you’ll only have whatever water you’ve brought with you. Oxygenics 92489 Fury RV Handheld Shower #4 – Water Acquisition It works out much better than turning the water completely off and then back on again when you’re ready. The pause button allows you to keep your water temperature and save a few gallons of water while you’re in the lathering phase of your shower. Like this, you can get in, get wet and hit that pause button while lathering up, and turn then just quickly un-pause it when you’re ready to rinse. You are also going to want to make sure that it has a pause feature. A good low flow shower head will reduce the gallons per minute pouring out while you’re trying to rinse off. One area that we have been able to seriously conserve water is by upgrading our showerhead to one that is low flow. You need to be conscience of your water usage. If you’re camper only holds 15 gallons of fresh water, well then, that’s all you’ve got. The only water you have is what you brought with you. Water conservation is a reality when doing any kind of dry camping. Solar Lights Outdoor Waterproof #5 – Low Flow Showerhead But the solar lights provide enough light that you aren’t opening your camper door into pitch blackness. I think solar lights should be used in conjunction with a flashlight for more direct light. They also provide enough light to see a bear sitting outside your camper when the dog needs to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. If you need to get something once it’s dark outside, the solar lights provide enough light to do so. In a camper, a lot of your storage is accessed from outside. Think about your stick and brick house… You have an outdoor light flip on if you hear an intruder or need to run outside and grab something. Just being able to see to get back into the camper is wonderful, but more than that, they are a security feature. Having solar lights has been indispensable. Once your fire is out for the evening, it get’s pretty darn dark, and it happens really quickly. If you start using the outdoor lights on your camper, you’re going to drain your batteries down faster. When you’re boondocking, it isn’t likely that you will have any ambient light source at night other than the moon. Once again, most of us have some kind of folding table in our camper already, but it becomes much more essential when Boondocking.Ĭamp Chef Ranger II Table Top Stove #6 – Solar Lights You can put all of your camp chairs around it and enjoy your meals here. This will come in handy if you want to eat outside too. You’re going to need a place to put things down instead of on the ground. Like I said before, there is likely not going to be a picnic table just hanging out where ever you decide to set up camp for the evening.

All campers are out here doing the same thing as you. Otherwise, the conversation may end when their legs are tired of standing. ![]() When we asked him why he had so many chairs out, he said, “if I didn’t, where would you sit?” His theory, and now ours too, is that – if you meet someone while camping they will feel more comfortable if you have a place for them to sit. We have anti-gravity chairs for lounging, chairs with a side table for sitting around the fire, and 2 beach chairs for when we just want to sit outside and enjoy the weather without laying down and falling asleep in our lounging chairs.ĭoug and I learned this trick while down in Florida from our friend Mark who travels alone. Each person in the camper should find, and bring, a chair that they’re most comfortable in. Now, I wouldn’t really recommend that everyone have 3 different types of chairs at the ready, I would suggest that you have one for each person in your party, plus 2 extra’s. Doug and I actually have 3 different style chairs packed away in our monstrosity. Unless you plan to spend your entire day and night in your camper, you should make sure that you’ve packed a comfortable chair to sit in outside. While some dispersed camping locations do provide a picnic table to sit at, most of them do not. And although they are really nice to have when you’re at a campground, they become even more necessary when you’re boondocking. For most RV’ers this is something that we already have in our camper. ![]()
