If you boondock the equipment is somewhat different and essential like toilet
paper which you normally don't need to take in a private campground or state
park. Generator would be useful and some sort of protection from all kinds
of animals some intelligent and others not so. Don't mean to alarm you but
it is sadly essential today. Insect repellent could be your best friend in
many places where ticks and no "seam's room. We landed in beautiful park in
British Columbia with a wonderful swimming pool overlooking snow covered mountains and a lodge but no one was around. That's because it was "no seams'"
season and explained why folks were dressed in netting from head to toe. These
bugs were worse than deer flies and could suck blood quicker than you could
lift a hand. Your life depended on getting back to the camper while you
still had some left. I could hear others laughing at us that day. Then we went to the ocean and got bit by jellyfish floating in the beach area that would have been the last straw except some college girls were laying around with wardrobe malfunctions. Suddenly the scenery helped me to forget the jellyfish. Well if your lucky enough to have this happen then you will need sunscreen and a big beach towel. My most sought after item when looking for a camper today is the size of the fresh water holding tank. I recommend sixty gal plus for a week with kids and then conserve as much as you can anyway you can. Hauling five gal jugs of water and holding them above your shoulder to pour down a little hole in the RV can take some skill and endurance. If your still in the popup phase please ignore this last part but if your planning to upsize some day keep
this advise handy.
