Dry camping battery charging options
We have a Salem Cruise Lite with the standard factory installed 12v battery. We are dry camping for the next week in Yellowstone and I have been periodically re-charging out battery simply by connect...

I can get the best part of the week out of one battery, but I’m pretty frugal. When I need to recharge I have a few options. I sometimes move to a site with power for a couple of days, not an option in YS. I can carry a charger, pull the battery, and find a plug to recharge. The Rangers have helped me out on a few occasions with that. Or pull the battery and take it to the nearest service station and have it charged. Or carry two batteries and switch them out while one is recharged in some manner. Or the obvious, a generator, but I don’t carry one.
Two true deep cycles would extend your time, but at some point you still need to recharge. Suffice to say that in many decades of camping I’ve always managed to recharge my battery somehow but I’ve never used my TV as a generator.
