BOONDOCKING - DEFINITION & OVERVIEW

What is Boondocking?

Boondocking is a type of camping where you stay in an RV, camper van, fifth wheel motorhome, or other vehicle without traditional hookups for water, electricity, or sewer. It’s often done by van lifers and travelers on public lands like national forests or even in parking lots where overnight stays are allowed. The term “boondocking” originates from the word “boondocks,” which refers to remote or rural areas.

How long will an RV battery last while boondocking?

🔋 The length of time an RV battery will last while boondocking depends on factors like battery type, capacity (measured in amp hours), and your power usage. Generally, a standard RV battery can last between 1 to 3 days without recharging, assuming moderate power use such as running lights, the water pump, and a small fan.
