Wow!
The number sure surprised me.
I was sort of self-conscious to admit the fitting of a home dishwashing/rinse sprayer in the shower...saves a lot of water but temp control is erratic. Dishes get pre-washed in salt water to the utter delight of little fish. Construct outdoor sanitary facilities
I like to live around my rig rather than in it. I sprang for a 20' totally enclosed porch with floor. It's safely stored at a friend's place where the air is dry...all 215 lbs of it. 1983 model. I remember how pricey the first 5mm white LEDs were. 51 watt Kyocera panels cost me $290 each! A shortwave radio for electronic entertainment. I don't believe I could spend time in a trailer park. Too confining and no adventure.
He is bored down there, shouldn't be a secret to anybody :).
Have any link to that enclosed porch with floor - Ok it was 1983, but maybe product name or anything similar today? I looked up, all mesh enclosures are of a quality that fits products of China era. Dengue-carrying mosquitoes are too much to my taste...
No adventure or entertainment - what, Templarios in your area are quiet lately?
PS: the whole "boondocking" question I don't understand. Living without re-supply of water and without sewer? This would be difficult to do for more than 2 weeks. And, if you have access to camp shower and toilet, this isn't a boondocking. I live like this (i.e. camp utilities) for months at a time, 490W solar, no generator. Half of snowbirds on dry camps live like this. Another half - in the same Az, Fl, Baja, Sonora - run their gennies few hours a day, with 200-300W solar on roofs, don't know why, and doubt that they do. Not everyone of them can tell the difference btw DC and AC.
