Some great pics in this thread, thanks for sharing. As to the AC for the tent, I have a pic somewhere of a couple with a fan on a chair blowing thru the window of their tent. White noise and cool air!. There is no boondocking on the east coast, but we sure plan to roam the west in just a few more years. I think fear of our fellow humans has increased over the last 5-10 years. We live in a very rural area, but home invasions happen occasionally. Most are due to the knowledge of drugs or money within that particular home, but the subconscious registers anyway. When we were in our 20s we thought nothing of sleeping totally vulnerable behind only the zipper of a tent. Heck, we left all our "stuff" unprotected during the daytime while we ran around or went to the beach. Sadly, things have changed since then.
