Exploring RVing: Answering Your Questions
RVing, whether full-time or for weekend getaways, comes with its own set of terminology and practices. In this blog post, I’ll address some common questions about RVing, particularly focusing on the concept of boondocking.
What is Boondocking?
Many of you have asked about boondocking, a term often mentioned in the RVing community. Boondocking, also known as dry camping or free camping, involves camping without hookups. Essentially, it’s living off-grid, away from traditional campsites or RV parks.
Living in the Boondocks
When you boondock, you’re essentially living in the “boondocks,” meaning you’re relying on your own resources for water, electricity, and propane. Unlike traditional camping where amenities are provided, boondocking requires you to bring everything you need to sustain yourself, from cooking and cleaning to sleeping and eating.
Resource Management
To boondock successfully, you need to manage your resources efficiently. This includes having fresh water onboard for bathing, cooking, and other necessities. Additionally, propane is essential for cooking on the stove, while gas and diesel power the vehicle for driving.
Power Sources and Hookups
While boondocking typically involves being self-sufficient, you can also hook up to external power sources when available. This could be a house, an RV park, or even a generator. However, the essence of boondocking lies in relying on your own resources whenever possible.

If you’re going to be cooking, cleaning, sleeping, eating, wherever you’re going to be doing, you have to have water to do it or electricity or some resources to be able to power what you’re doing. Unless you’re just going to be sitting out in the field, which wouldn’t be RVing, it would be probably camping. Boondocking. You’re not hooking up in an Rv. You can actually hook up to a power source. So it might be a house, it might be an rv park.
00:01:05 You could have a generator or you might have water that you need, so you might hook you up to a hose pipe and get your water. Now you can also have water on board, which is your fresh water. You can have your water here in the RV, which means that you’re carrying it with you. You have it, so you can take a bath or wash your hands, eat whatever you’re trying to do on board. You want those resources, whether it be electricity, water or propane, so like cooking on the stove uses propane which is gas.

Boondocking, I mean that’s pretty much it. You boondock and you bring all your resources with you.
