You say you will be boondocking most of the time but to me the plans look like a campground only RV. Where will you cook on a windy dust storm day out west? Why a microwave and AC powered fridge that will take a noisey power source that you are trying to get away from(i assume since you will be boondocking). Where will you store youre human waste? Or will you drive to town every day to dispose of it? And if so, why boondock if you are going to town everyday? You say the shower is big because you spend alot of time there. You may want to start timing youre showers. A person that takes one shower a day only spends 1 to 2 percent of their life in the shower, and you will have to bring that water with you in the RV. My wife and I only boondock. Things that are important to us in an RV are as follows... Large storage tanks(fresh, gray, and black). Good ventilation on hot days. Solar and battery power to keep things quiet. Lots of storage for things like outdoor chairs, grill, fishing, hunting and hiking equipment etc. A propane fridge so we can make our own ice.

I covered most of these things in other responses and I thank you for commenting. How do you "only boondock" and use a black water tank? I never said I take long showers I just prefer not to feel closed in. (I don't spend a lot of time in an airplane bathroom, but I sure wish they were bigger... and they are now making them bigger) I've been to a lot of RV shows and shower size is one of the things most people hone in on. I do agree that the a/c powered refrigerator is an issue even with an inverter and I am looking at alternatives. Unless they make a decent dc powered microwave and dc air conditioner I'm pretty much stuck with those. I'm not sure where you read that boondocking does not mean you can't drive into town for supplies. If you fish and hunt in a boondocking situation you should already know where human waste can be deposited. Thanks again! -Darla
