we camp without hookups 70 % here in oregon
we have a group of friends that prefer that type of camping
we have evolved over the last decade.
in general :
we do not use generators .
we have very good battery systems.
we prefer quiet .
all of us have diesel pickups from the big three
all of us have scaled down our trailer size
in oregon there are excellent opportunities to camp on public lands .
we also use forest service , blm, and nps sites .
the places we camp often involve the last few miles down a gravel road .
our group has grown from 3 regulars to about a dozen who alternate with our group.
although i like the nissan and toyota vehicles they are a little less tow rig than what i have found to be adequate for our 21T trailer ; gvw 7200 # , empty weight 5300#.
we carry in our own firewood , extra water , heavy steel framed Quik-Shade, bbq propane tank , extra cases of soda , and so forth .
we like to carry more weight in our tow rig than our trailer .
we will ford a small gulley or a small stream on occasion .
we will go down forest service roads and have to back up to turn around .
29 foot trailer presents difficulties for these maneuvers .
the absolute Best camping we do is without hookups .
