When we bought our current RV, we wanted to boondock 75% of the time (and sold the house becoming full timers). So we outfitted it with a large solar setup.
But in reality, it is more like 50% or less. The issue is holding tanks and needing heating or cooling to be comfortable.

valhalla360 and theoldwizard1

You are both right--because there has been an explosion of numbers of RV's.

As far as barbecue--I do that electrically.
