What is RV boondocking? Folks unfamiliar with the RV lifestyle are often puzzled by some of the terms: "Fifth wheel, dumping tanks, hitch itch, boondocking?" Boondocking to some means a night spent on a pavement parking lot, while traveling to a favorite RV park. But for serious boondockers, boondocking means spending days, weeks, even months away from an electrical hookup or dump station. "Why on earth," some wonder, "would anyone want to do such a thing?
When Staying at Walmart, Don't Forget Your Etiquette Many of those new to RVing are surprised when they learn that other
RVers actually "stay overnight" at Walmart stores or on the parking
lots of other businesses. It just seems inconceivable. But believe it:
Many Walmart stores find RVers to be excellent sleep-over companions,
after all, next morning they're in to make a few purchases before being
off on their way. Here's a few tips to make your welcome warmer.
Yes, you can camp for free in your RV Cut your RV travel costs by camping for free. The cost of an RV campsite in an RV park or public campground can range from $15 to $45 a night. Locating a a free place to stay is a great way to stretch one's RVing dollars.
Cut RVing expenses by saving on camping fees High gas prices have increased the cost of RVing in recent times,
forcing many RVers to find ways to save and dollar here and there. One
way to save is obvious: cut down campground fees. Here are some ways to do it.
Are campground reservations really necessary? Do you need to make campground reservations? Whether you're planning to stay in a public or private campground the answer, in veteran RVer Mark Polk's opinion, is always yes.
Take a One-Gallon Shower Dry camp longer: conserve fresh-water usage plus decrease the amount of water going into your grey tank by taking more efficient showers. Often called a "Navy" shower, this is a technique the Navy uses to decrease the amount of shower water an individual uses. Test it for your RV shower.
RV Campgrounds: Many choices, many price ranges When it comes to finding a campground, RVers have many choices, from
elegant RV parks with swimming pools, saunas, libaries and
entertainment halls, to state parks with limited facilities, to
barebones "boondocking" sites where a level plot of dirt is about all
you'll get. Campsites can cost $50 night or they can be free.
What is boondocking? The terms boondocking and dry camping can mean different things to different RVers, sometimes resulting in confusion. What we really need is a new term for casino and WalMart parking lot stays.
