timjet,
since we camped 35 years in California State Parks(which have less than 1 percent of campsites with any hookups), we learned to camp without water/electric hookups.
it's called dry camping.
we usually camped in areas that didn't require a/c, mostly coastal.
we just had our Honda 2000 for recharging the batteries and running the microwave.
all public campgrounds i've been to, had certain generator hours and times.
NONE allowed running generators overnight.
National Park campgrounds are the same.
Thanks bikendan. I have similar experience using my boat. We spent 8 months on our boat going to and from the Chesapeake from Tampa. We would usually try to find a good protected anchorage which in RV terms is boondocking, but also used many marina's which all had electric and water. During the summer northbound we had to use our generator when at anchor with night time temps in the upper 70's. Southbound in the fall we only used the generator to charge the batts and watch an hour or two of TV in the evening. We could go a week on 80 gal of water and 70 gal black water tank.
