 Calendar Event: No-Hookups Camping QuestionsPosted: 11 Sep 2016 at 5:43pm |

Another point..... Camping got a lot less stressful when I bought a 1000 W generator when we had the tent trailer. Now have a 2000 W for the microwave as well as charging the battery.

podrunner - I'll have to check on the lights - not sure what we have. And that's great info for keeping the battery going! Thanks so much.

JHoffman - great info on everything - thank you! Quarters are ready to go.
Podster - since I like it cold, I'm hoping it will be just cool enough to not need to run anything. Thanks for the tip on checking the propane function! Love your quote, "there is absolutely no money to be saved on house paint, tents, or jumper cables" Cheers to wise, old friends! Jato - thank you for the info on the battery same age as ours. Much appreciated! Considering getting another one ourselves. Just need to confirm if our lights are LED or not... CharlieM - very much appreciate the tip on the jumper cables. I will check on what we have and adjust accordingly! John in Idaho - I know nothing about generators. I'm curious, now, how big they are. Will have to check that out. You and Podster recommended charging in the truck. Wondering why I didn't think of that!

I recommend 100 watts minimum.

I agree with Techntrek, 100 watts is the absolute minimum if you are camping without hookups. Also, as others have said, LED lights are not just nice, they simply don't use much electricity
