There are no rules to this, if you don't want what a smartphone has then don't sweat it.

I run most everything off 12v, I hardly ever use the inverter.  I don't know what you're driving but when I started I had two 122ah house batteries from Walmart (29DC). They were hooked up to be charged by the van alternator when running. Those two batteries did the job for me. I'd use a...

You hit the nail on the head with this one... That's the way it is....

I just searched on "Woodstock 50" and "How the golden anniversary festival went off track" was used at a couple of place.... Oh well...

Down in the TN-Al area a guy (Cuzzen Dyck) hosts a gtg every spring (Raccoon Creek by Stevenson AL) & fall (Tumbling Creek by Copperhill TN). These are held on some sort of public land and nothing is provided. No water, no toilets, just what ever you have brought.  It's basically a campout for...

My reality is voltage is the only practical day to day way to keep track of how much juice my batteries have in them. That voltage is being read while they are being used too.  It's the best I can do so that's what I use. When the batts are at 12.2 I have to decide to either charge them, stop...

Look for a car charger for your specific laptop on Amazon or Ebay or where it is that you look for stuff.   I've been buying mine from Amazon & they are not expensive. One end should plug into the 12v receptacle and the other into your laptop.

I run my laptop, lights, fans and charge my phone off the house battery. I use the inverter (rarely) if I want to charge my tool batteries, run a vacuum cleaner or that $3 coffee grinder I bough at a thrift store.

What are you running with the inverter?

I have met people who had a 5th wheel, stayed in a park for many months & hired someone to move it when the time came. It appeared to work for them.  I'd talk to the park you're thinking about doing this with, some parks have funny rules about bringing an RV in. I've usually seen someone on...

IMO.... Basic needs.. A place to sleep, an air mattress on the floor will work for me. Blanket to stay warm &/or a sleeping bag. A propane/butane stove to heat water for coffee, a pot for the water and a fry pan. A fire extinguisher.  A head lamp and some cheap led flashlights. A table that...

I'm reading this on-line at the forum. Up at the top of THIS page there are a number of topics, Home, Blog, Forums, etc... and under that is smaller print are other topics.  You'll find answers to your questions there, or you'll be able to make them more specific.  I'd start with the heading...

Probably not what you're looking for but give some thought to a used travel trailer (or class C). Something with just enough (does not leak)... bed, kitchen, table, shower/toilet & couch AND an RV park that will take you & has affordable long term rates. You're looking at getting thru grad...

RIP, you will be missed.

It is a bit different from full hook up RVing, the mind set thing. I had to get used to not having what I had and to rationing... turn the lights off and watch the water kind of thing. Solar really helped!  That was then. These days we go weeks and months without hooking up, it does save the...

Not too long ago I read an article about two events, one was a retro with groups from the first and the second was going to be with new music. Could be just speculation, it's May already & August is not that far off.

I often use the "/" symbol to mean "per"... 10 miles/gallon

Nice nice nice!

I'm from the west & NY has a reputation. Boondocking-dispersed camping is not part of that reputation.

Way to go!  Doing it yourself is in many ways the best way to do it, you get no only the confidence but the ability to repair it later and add on as you think it's needed!
