Hi All.
They bothe each have their own uses. EWe motly do all Boon-Docking, in the past 45+ years.
We are very well set-up to be off the Grid. The only thing that we don't feel a need for is "Soalr Panels", do to the kind of areas that we Boon-Dock in, and where we spend most of or time at. Even "Protable Solar Panels" isn't for us. One thing, is neither of us like the direct sun. As we both burn like Lobsterss and have had our share of Skin Cancers, and Surgies.
As a matter of fact, we have 4 ea Ceramic Heaters, of different out-puts. Some as low as 100 watts to the normal 1500 Watts, with lower setting in them as well.
We also have a Mr Heater "Buddy" and a Mr Heater "Big Buddy" and an Oly Wave #6 Propane Heaters.
And if you notice our Signature, we can even easily go past our Motorhomes 30 AMP Limits anytime we wish to. As we have more than enough "Generator Power" and then some.
We rearly use the Motorhomes Furnace, since it is really hard on a Battery Bank and eats Propame like there is no tomorrow. It may not be for everybody, but it sure has worked out good for us. Even keeping the Storage Compartments warm, espaically the Wet bay, really isn't an issue for us either.
And we can keep the inside of our Motorhome just about as warm as we want it to be. To each thier own. Both have their uses. Some of the best Boon-Docking is in the winter time. We use our Motorhome on/off all year long.
Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill
