The above post brought up a subtle point regarding when to carry what in an RV - especially an RV that might bounce between boondocking and otherwise.
We carry everything all the time. Since we're retired, our trips don't have a definite end date and we never know where we might end up or what we might wind up doing.
For instance, we always carry a beach umbrella with us ... supposedly for just in case shade when out in the desert while sitting in the bottom of a pit digging rocks. However, around three years ago we found ourselves sitting on a beautiful summer sun drenched beach on the shores of Lake Erie. We set up a couple of chairs right at the water's edge and soaked our feet in fresh water ... sitting of course under the beach umbrella.
Ya never know where a RV trip can lead!
