Must Have Boondocking Items?

[Mello_Mike]

Let's have a little fun. What do you consider to be "must have" items when you go boondocking?

I'll start:

1. Two AGM 6v or Group 27 12v batteries
2. Solar power (100 watts)
3. Propane (2x5 gal tanks)
4. Seven gallon portable water tank
5. First Aid Kit
6. Water Purification Kit
7. Saw Zaw (for cutting firewood)
8. Firestarter
9. Camera
10. Altimeter App
11. Dump Station Location App
12. GPS/Maps
13. GPS locator

When boondocking way out there on the Far Side of Beyond, you should have the knowledge and stuff along to repair a large variety of things in your rig.

Our rig has wiring and plumbing in behind cabinets, so I carry along a remote inspection scope so I can take a look into difficult to see areas to check things out if something is acting up.

Done!!

I don't feel too bad when there are RV's near by, but when someone throws up a tent, I tend to feel bad for them.

Last year camping, a few near by with tents. Poring rain, we were watching movies, taking showers, enjoying the camper. I felt really bad for the neighbors...

A potable small sewer tote thing. And small and light enough to throw in the SUV.

Any thoughts on the 211vdbx? I just bought one. I’m staying on some land near the dealer for now while I learn the ropes but will eventually go up into lassen forest once the fires are out.

I haven't read this whole discussion thread ... so maybe these have been mentioned:

One's RV should have:

1. A built-in, or brought along - roof access ladder.

AND

2. A roll of 4 inch wide Eternabond tape.

Ive seen a 12 guage or handguns mentioned a couple of times. Probably will never need but it sure does help you sleep better at night.

A 10" cast iron skillet and a couple of cases of wine. Anything more is just a luxury.

What happened to the binder with a laminated list of things not to forget, and things to make sure you check before moving on? I keep mine in a binder, on a hook next to the door. Laminated lists and a dry erase marker and eraser in a little pencil pouch in the binder so I can check things off then erase and use again!
