Using Your RV more like a tent

I am new to rving and one of the things that scares me about it is the maintenance with plumbing and electrical items as well as costs involved. Has anyone purchased an rv and tended to use it more like a tent to sleep in and use but not to get involved in all the water systems and power situations? To me this would mean:
- not having a generator
-not having ac
-using the city water tank for fresh water but maybe having a porta potty vs using/maintaining the black water tank
-using just the extra batteries for lights, basics, etc and maybe bringing lanterns instead
I know this might me no fridge or microwave and using the rv for living in and the outside fire for cooking, etc.
-probably a 2-3 day trip vs weeks long
Just wondering if anyone does this and what is it like? To me it would be comfortable and less stressful.
Thanks for your thoughts!

That is how we camp when camping in a National Park, where there are no hookups. I don't even use the fresh water tank. Why, you ask. I refuse to use the dump station. I'm lazy. So we only use what the battery will run while dry camping.

However. When we have full hookups. We use them all. They aren't hard to use .
