What is boondocking and dry camping?
This subject is often brought up so I thought we'd put our collective heads together for the sake of newbies and others who are curious what these terms mean. This will be posted as a permanent thread...

Greetigs, what type of a motorhome would be good for a dry/boondocking situation considering no finished roads or other refinements. The tag axle units and larger bus units might have problems in rural areas we would want to seek out.
I travelled with a pickup camper south to north and back in June of 66 and had a ball but things have changed but there are still places to go and see. What about a 45 footer diesel pusher with tag axle are they go to go on a limited off road situation? comments please. regards Paul
If you want to take your half million dollar house down a wash board road, knowing full well that these things shake loose before they fail completely, have fun. There are no motorhomes that are suitable for dry/boondocking a long way off the pavement in my opinion and there probably aren't many newer TTs or fivers that won't suffer consequences from the hard knocks.
The minute the pavement ends you probably need to rethink camping in a modern rv with sophisticated electrical, hydraulic, or water systems.
