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...

Thanks bobdifley!
The battery did very well! We used it as you suggested, sparingly on lights etc. Main draw was upon arrival putting down the stabilizers, tongue jack, awning and slide. After that it was just lights and water pump. I learned how to put hot water heater onto gas and fridge onto gas which all seemed to work very well. We had to use the stereo for a little bit to re-charge an iPod but even with all that on Saturday night it was still at 2/3! An overall success I would say and now feeling much more confident about doing this again.
Is it advisable to run your battery down before re-charging or just re-charge it whenever you get the chance (or when you get home)?
