New to dry camping, questions?
So far all our trips have been to full hookup sites,, but next week we will be doing our first trip to a dry campground for a couple nights. Here are my questions: 1. Should I plug my trailer cord in...

You got it backwards. You can dry camp and not boondock. You can't boondock and not dry camp.

Unless you are disconnecting your battery once you get to your camp site, you are running on electricity too. A solar system, generator or even jumper cables to the truck is only replacing the electricity taken out of that battery over time. We can easily go 3 days without charging, we have to be able to using a solar system in case of bad weather. I also have a generator as we stay out anywahere from one to two weeks. I don't believe in letting the batteries get low and leaving them that way. I'd rather listen to the generator than replace my banks. That said, we haven't used the generator in years.
