Class A versus 5th Wheel for Boondocking
Hi All Right now, we are trying to decide on whether to buy a Class A or a 5er. I've read a lot of other posts that compare the pros and cons of each but there's one area that is not commented on i...

We have a Class A. We dry camp in forest campgrounds(which is what the OP is planning, I believe) and boondock (back in the boonies by ourselves). Yes, we do go on gravel roads but not over boulders. :) Our holding tanks are 105 gal for fresh water, 65 gal for grey water and 45 gal for black. We can last approx. 12 days without dumping our tanks and we'll still have fresh water left. We have learned to conserve very well.
Sorry, can't answer your electric concerns for a T.V. and air conditioning because we don't use either. We do use solar panels and will run the generator for short periods of time if we have cloudy, rainy days. We use a stovetop perculator coffee pot and make toast in a frying pan. We run the microwave for reheating which runs off the inverter, as does our computers. We have a propane heater (a furnace takes a lot of power).
Hope this helps somewhat. Your real concern will be conserving water and electric and your holding tanks. Hopefully, you can follow the weather and stay cool in summer then you won't have to run the air conditioner!
