We share some tips and tricks to help YOU be successful on YOUR next Boondocking trip!
This video is a bit of a departure from our "normal" adventure videos, but we really thought it could be helpful! So here ya go!

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.....
Awesome video!!
@@joniriggen7313 Thank you little sis!
Great explanation! Thanks for doing this! Happy Adventures! ☮️☀️
@@54bonkers So glad it was helpful!
I like your videos, however, please use gloves when handling your blank tank and hose in the future especially if you are filming. Great information, thanks for putting this out there. Funny thing, I just sold my tab 400 and purchased a 2024 Range Runner!! Going just the opposite way, less is more for me this time around.
@@willkelley735 Hey there! Thanks so much for sharing your suggestion! You will really enjoy your Rangerunner! It makes for an ongoing fun project too! You can build it out exactly how ya want it! Blessings!
By the way, my tank meters on my Tab 400 were never accurate either, frustrating I know and I was never able to correct it now matter how I cleaned the tanks, tried everything. I'm totally convinced that those sensors across the RV industry just do not work, not a NuCamp issue.
@@willkelley735 Yes, I agree with you! We have owned a few different trailers with tank monitors over the years and NONE of them stayed accurate! Some started out sorta accurate then went downhill from there! Yes, I do believe it is just an industry issue across the board! Blessings! Enjoy that Rangerunner! Such a great family of folks! Be sure and check out some of the Rallies! You will meet some great people!
Very good information. Nice drawing Pam. Thanks for sharing guys! Good reference guide. We just did a 7 week on the road trip from the east coast to the west coast. Combined boondocking and hookups. 20 states and 18 National Parks with almost 9000 miles. We had a blast.
@@curronhill2744 OH man! That sounds so cool! It’s on our bucket list! Any recommended highlights? Parks we don’t wanna miss? Sites we don’t wanna miss? Thanks for sharing! Blessings!
@@TheRunawayGangTake your time and take a rest day once a week that you just sit around camp and enjoy just being rather than being out there. We did not have any reservations when we left and no agenda. My wife used RVParky to find and book reservations a day or two ahead. We did plan the major things we wanted to see for each state ahead of time but we chanced it up some along the way. We would also camp at one site in the middle of two or three places we wanted to visit. We ended up having about 9000 miles on the truck and about 7000 miles on the camper. This made it easier doing site seeing in crowded or high elevations sites like the Rockies. Be flexible and enjoy as you are there not worrying about tomorrow. We did have to evacuate a campground (leaving the camper) because of a 1 AM tornado. Make sure your cell phones are set for alerts. Also check road conditions a few hours before you plan to travel them in mountain roads. We did have to deal with one rock slide.
Thinking about heading back to persimmon Hill around August 15th
@@charlesestep154 It’s a nice spot! Enjoy my friend!
Guys I really don't know boondocking I heard you need a generator and plenty of water
Great info! Appreciated the electric/solar info and pics. Helped explain things. Do you leave your water pump and Alde on all the time or just as needed? Also what do you tow with?
Also do you only use Alde on propane?
@@KellyRussell-qb4sy Great questions! While we are boondocking and actively at our campsite we will keep the water pump on, but if we are leaving the campsite for any length of time we will turn it off. The Alde hot water is very quick at heating up so I typically will only turn it on right before doing any dishes and then off when done.
@@KellyRussell-qb4syAnother great question! When boondocking propane will be your only option for heat or hot water, but if we are plugged into power we would certainly utilize it to conserve our propane. Hope that makes sense! 😀
