Curios about dry-camping
Hey folks! Hope you all are enjoying the summer. The DW and I were out a few weeks back and I thought I would see what power was available on batteries. I run 2 @ 6v deep cycle batteries for my rig...

We have an Onan 5000 propane genny. We have gone without power in the rig due to a snow storm for three days on full generator power with our two 40# tanks on board. We will probably start out with parks and land with no facilities -- nothing too far out as we figure things out.
We still work for a living and live in DFW. Both time and locale limit our duration and opportunities to be out and about.
We are excited to find places to go where we aren't 8ft away from the rig next door and have so etching new to see and explore.
Sounds to me like we need to do some good planing and 'electricity math' before striking out.
Thanks to all. Hope to see you down the road.

Tom, explore the possibilities of solar, too. With a good 100w (or more) panel and charge controller, you might not even need to use the Onan very much, except for A/C, M/W or other high-draw appliance.
