Dry Camping to Boondocking 101 Tips and Equipment (RV Living) 4K

We love staying at state parks while traveling full time in our Grand Design RV fifth wheel, but sometimes it is hard to get a site. What we found is places that offer dry camping instead of power campground sites are easier to get reservations - in state, national, and provincial parks.

This video is about expanding your camping options when other campsites are booked, what equipment we use while dry camping, some tips and must haves equipment to make dry camping more enjoyable, and how all our experiences will help us boondock with our camper in the near future with more confidence.
