This was your first video that I’ve seen. The title caught my eye. Then I started watching and saw you are recording this just 15 mins from me. Hope your stay in Daytona was a good one!
Thanks folks. Good tips. We are new to camping having bought a truck camper 2 years ago and we prefer boondocking. We traded that truck camper in and ordered a 2022 Lance 1172. With boondocking in mind we ordered the propane generator, twin solar panels, twin lithium batteries, LTE/wifi cell phone booster antenna. Our camper should be delivered sometime this spring. Safe travels. 👍🇨🇦
Hi Paul, thank you for your comment. Sounds like you’re gearing up for a great time! We hope to see you on the road, and if you’re ever in the US let’s get together.
Beware of the danger of using Lithium batteries as they are subject to a number of problems, the worst case senario is exploding causing a fire and burning your RV.
Good stuff guys. All good points. I just recently bought a 60 gallon bladder bag and spare 12v water pump so that I can bring tons more fresh water back to camp in the bed of my truck to really extend boondocking. Of course, this kind of goes hand in hand with my new Camco 36 gallon tote.
@cslay06 thanks for your comment. Having the extra water capacity and capability to dump will be very handy when you find the perfect boondocking spot. I'm curious how many days you’re able to boondock with that additional gear?
@@larisonlifestyle I actually just bought it and haven't even tried it out yet. But I figure if I can go 4 to 5 days with my 42 gallons on board, showering very briefly every morning, I could easily go another week. But that's just me, by myself. With a family, the picture would look a lot different, but still greatly adds to your capacity. I'm going to test it out on my first camping trip here in a few weeks. Looking forward to it.
Just found your site & Congrats on your first year. You have a bunch of stuff on my wish list that I'll get when I can. Coffee is a must in our camp. We have a Hario coffee grinder- old school hand crank so no need to recharge and a Jetboil coffee press. Having another type of fuel can be a pain, but it is super portable ( size of a Nalgene bottle) and we can always revert to pouring hot water over the top if needed.
We’ve heard great things about the jetboil method but went with the French press due to price. I can definitely see the jetboil being handy for not only boondocking but for backpacking and overnight float trips as well!
I was told that when you get water from a creek, you should try to get as close to the middle as you can because that is where the most movement is, whereas the water closer to shore is more stagnant.
That’s a great point, we’ve been trying to improve on our filling routine and have gotten better about finding the areas where the stream has more movement!
Hey you two, thanks for the video. We've been boondocking for 6 months a year for 12 years now and we were able to get a couple new ideas from you so thanks for sharing. Happy boondocking!
@@larisonlifestyle We have been spending all of our time in Canada because of the $CAD/USD exchange rate. You two could live like royalty boondocking in Canada. ; )
Great list. Thanks! This is not a complaint, just an observation. I'm shocked how $$$ these items are. Wow, did not realize how quickly this sort of thing could add up.
Mark, we totally agree with you! However, we’re using these products every day which is why we went for the better quality products. Spend the money up front and not have to worry about issues with products.
Yeah, $845 for the Zarges box was a shock. Especially considering the tiny power inverter you chose. I have almost $6,000 invested in my Bluetti System to provide over 3000 watts of AC power, I’m amazed at how you get along with only 500 watts of power. Thanks for the advice and let us know more about how you power your travels.
Nicely done ! Not full timers but 1x every month for 5-7 days & a 6-7 week snowbird trip. We boon dock ~80% + of the time & carry most of the same items. Just got a drone and learning to fly. It's a kick!
Alright so you still get out often, that’s great! Where’s your next adventure? Maybe we’ll see you out on the road. Which drone did you get? Don’t forget to press the video record button on your phone. Our drone doesn’t automatically record footage each time we turn it on. We have to tell it to record which is easy to forget!
@@larisonlifestyle We venture in the PNW but just got back from a ~4k snowbird trip to the S.W. CA & NV & AZ and then back up the east side of the Sierra's. We've done a fair number of trips in our 40+ years of RV-n. Probably Wy & MT. this late fall. I'm a serious amateur photo geek so the drone is going to expand my horizons.
Im a newbie your vids give me confidence and tips. i'm going straight to boondocking, i got the french press idea on my own but the rest are on order or already have
@@stv111play I'm glad you find our videos helpful, thank you for the support! There are many other great products out there but we find these to be our most important.
Gooood solid 411. Love the french press idea!!! Me and the wife are gonna have to make that happen. Love you guys photos/video of your camping spots!!! 👍😃🍻
Know this is old video, still glad I ran across it. Good tips. If you ever need another press try Stanley. Can heat pot on propane stove. I’m gonna go look for that grinder. 😊
@@larisonlifestyle Your overall production is excellent and quality number 1, what did it for me was the start was all about the coffee!! That made me watch to the end.
Love your list. I definitely need the Netgear. Do you have the inverter hooked up to the batteries? Did not expect that to be chosen since when boondocking, it steals battery power……but I know it is a definite. Works well with the Solar.
@danemmerich6775, thank you! Yes the inverter is hooked up to our house batteries to give us AC power when needed. Our solar helps keep the batteries charged up during the day and when needed we run the generator for AC, microwave, and topping the batteries off. Having a good battery bank is key.
Heck for coffee i use an old fashion percolator coffee pot on the stove. I have an 2000 watt inverter that runs off 2 batteries and 300 watts of solar that I can plug my camper shorepower plug into and run everything in my camper. For extra lighting, I have 4 solar landscape lights. Very inexpensive to buy. Many simple, inexpensive ways to do the same thing they talk about.
It sounds like you have an amazing setup! Do you have lithium batteries? Are you able to power your fridge? We recently upgraded to a $1,000 watt inverter but can’t power our fridge. I wish our setup could run our fridge full time!
@@larisonlifestyle I have a simple 1997 Sunlite truck camper. Just have marine batteries. I installed a 30 Amp plug in on the outside of the camper. The other end of its wire plugs into my inverter. I take the 30 Amp shore power cord and plug it into the new 30 Amp plug. When I turn on the inverter it powers everything in the camper except the AC. I have a 3 way Domatic refrigerator. I can run it on DC most of the time. If I get cloudy days, I run the refrigerator on propane at night so to not drain the battery to much. My total investment in my Camper is about $3,600. With everything in it. You need a bigger inverter. 1,000 watts wouldn't power an electric coffee maker.
Thanks for this, very helpful! Maybe we need a 3000 watt inverter to run our domestic fridge/freezer? I’ll be honest with you, I was being frugal when originally buying the inverter.
Great vid; Appreciate the insight; wife and i would like to boondock more; Being in South Florida they are only center times we can do this. A first seeing that tent cover for a Generator.
Boondocking in Florida is a little more difficult than the west coast! 😁 Also that generator tent has saved us many times during conference calls while it’s storming.
@@larisonlifestyle I was skeptical at first but it works. You just have to make sure the grounds are medium ground or bigger I think. You just put the grounds in a cup, mix in some hot water, stir it, let it sit for 4 minutes and then use the straw. It has a filter on it and you don’t get any grounds. Tastes like French pressed coffee. It is easy cleanup, better for your teeth, and better for environment. It is also like only $30 or so
This is amazing! I love the taste of our French pressed coffee. Glad to hear this tastes like it! And even more excited to drink it from a straw cause I’m always looking for ways to protect my enamel. It’s too bad humans don’t grow a new set of teeth at age 40 or something 😬
Yes to Bustello!! We have that in our camper and use it to make espresso / cuban coffee. I like your idea of using it for regular coffee in the French press! We’ll definitely give this a try.
@@larisonlifestyle I can't believe it's so reasonably priced, either. I'm a bit of a prepper and have a dozen of the vacuum sealed packs on hand at all times. Don't head for the woods without it!!!!
We have one in our camper! Never knew it was called a Moka Pot until you suggested it. We’ll occasionally use it to make Cuban coffee. Do you use yours regularly for brewing coffee?
We have been using a copper and glass French press for 7 years now so I guess packing the galley so things don't bounce around on the road is the secret. The French wouldn't approve of drinking wine or coffee from a plastic cup :(😂
They make upscale plastic drinkware that looks slightly more fancy than the dollar general items. Check out Home Goods, lots of plastic outdoor items. Less glass in the camper means less time cleaning up broken glass 😬
@Step-n-Wolf, we occasionally buy pre ground Yuba coffee. But we prefer to grind our own with the French press method for larger grinds so it doesn't go through the filter as much.
I completely hate the French Press that I had to have. Its the coffee grounds are a nightmare, they go everywhere in the sink, takes a ton of water to rinse it out. Beter one, the pour through cup filter, on tap and ground come out in one spot, tiny rince andnits clean
The french press can be messy and get a few grinds in the coffee. We haven't tried the pour over method yet. Do you have to boil more water and get more grinds for a second cup?
I use lights that charge with USB, charge them in the truck. They never drain the battery, I've went ten days charging phone and light daily . Only lost .1 volts
@@larisonlifestyle yes. Very similar order of operations to a French press but I prefer Americanos and the Aeropress gets pretty dark close to making espresso. I have had mine for years. They are also plastic and last. The only downsides I see are the disposable paper filters (but you can get a reusable metal one) and you can only really make 1 cup at a time (but they are quick to make).
Hi Steve, our solar panel does not plug into shore power. It plugs into the solar port that came standard on our camper. However, the solar panel we use came with alligator clips to clamp directly onto a battery. Yes we lock our generator to prevent theft since we spent almost $1k on the generator. I’m sure if someone was motivated, they’d find a way to steal it.
Tracy thank you for your comment! We are preparing our next Top 10 video specific to RVing and being plugged into a power source full time where we will definitely be featuring our Nomad crock pot. Stay tuned.
@Bill Fargo, we use a small one to make espresso and have tried the larger version for regular coffee but it turned to mud. It is definitely an advantage because you can put it right on the burner.
Definitely don’t need an inverter when using a generator! We rely on solar as much as possible and need an inverter to convert solar energy for charging electronics. We only use our generator as a backup option.
We are cautious where we fill our jerrycan, and if we think the water is questionable then we seek other water sources. The Lifesaver is great for filtering out what we shouldn’t drink, but even with that we still caution where we fill up. I’d recommend contacting the manufacturer for more specific information such as your question above! We filled our water up in what we thought was the most purest stream, but was actually glacier runoff. After some anxiety and upset stomachs, we researched that it’s not safe to drink glacier runoff so we ended up dumping our jerrycan and washing it thoroughly before refilling elsewhere.

@@larisonlifestyle I have a mid-size pickup (New Ford Ranger) so I’m currently looking for a decent sized tow trailer. Originally I’m from the Bronx but been here in Long Island NY for last 15 years and will be leaving here. Since the weather will be awesome in 2 months, I’ll be starting my full-time RV adventure most likely way up north/east. Probably Main, and then work my way back down.

Hope to see you on the road soon.
We try to get as much solar power as possible and use our generator only when needed, mainly when we can’t get power from our solar and have to charge our laptops for work during the day. We use it as our backup power source.
@@jamesglenn520 oh I see. Depending on state and location, it’s common for “quiet hours” to be enforced. Enforced is a loose term 😆 but some national forests, state forests, and BLM sites have the information posted in camping areas.
@@larisonlifestyle I understand now. We are in Idaho and we hardly ever stay in a Designated Campground area so we have not encountered this issue yet.
@Marst Sh, we tried to cover our big ticket items that make a difference in everyday life on the road. Some of them may not be for everyone but it's worth sharing.
@kennethwers, different strokes for different folks. If your only boondocking for the fun of it on a weekend yes you probably don't need most of this. IF your working full time while on the road boondocking then most of this was needed for us.

20k micron isnt what you mean as that would not filter anything out. 0.1 micron is what you want. Sell filters for 17 years now.
I couldnt find the product list
It’s more hidden when looking at UA-cam on a mobile phone. When watching the video, on the right side below the video, tap on the “down” arrow. This will bring up the video description. In the description, we’ve listed each product and provided links as well. Let me know if you’re still having trouble!

Hey guys I’m glad your channel came up in my feed. I’m going to start with my full-time RV experience in about two months and just wanted to wish you guys the best of luck with your travels and with your channel as well. I just subscribed and will definitely support you guys. If you see me on the road you better do the same lol. All kidding aside wishing you luck and happiness and hope to see you on the road one day!
Thank you for your comment! Where are you departing from? And your first stop on your journey? Class A, B, C or travel trailer? We might just see you out on the road!
@@larisonlifestyle I have a mid-size pickup (New Ford Ranger) so I’m currently looking for a decent sized tow trailer. Originally I’m from the Bronx but been here in Long Island NY for last 15 years and will be leaving here. Since the weather will be awesome in 2 months, I’ll be starting my full-time RV adventure most likely way up north/east. Probably Main, and then work my way back down. Who knows from there, but isn’t that the point? We can go anywhere we want so who cares? Lol. Thanks for replying and really hope to meet you one day soon. I have a list of full-time RV’s that I subscribe too and you’re on that list now as well, so no doubt I’ll be reaching out to you. Where are you guys from?
@@DamageLLC great well good luck in your trailer search.
We are heading up the east coast this spring and plan to be in Maine early summer. As well as explore other areas up in the north east. Follow us on Instagram and we can direct message there for getting together.

@@larisonlifestyle This sounds good. As I mentioned in previous reply, I’m starting in Maine as well and working down and west from there. I don’t really do social media however Now that I’ll be traveling and doing my own UA-cam channel I’m going to have to get myself an IG. I’ll be in touch and thanks for responding. Hope to see you on the road soon.
....what rich people think is roughing it....
Absolutely do not understand your statement of only running your generator during the day while Boondocking 🤔
We try to get as much solar power as possible and use our generator only when needed, mainly when we can’t get power from our solar and have to charge our laptops for work during the day. We use it as our backup power source.
@@larisonlifestyle What I was referring to is at about 7:00 in the video you stated that you couldn't run your generator from 10pm-7am.
@@jamesglenn520 oh I see. Depending on state and location, it’s common for “quiet hours” to be enforced. Enforced is a loose term 😆 but some national forests, state forests, and BLM sites have the information posted in camping areas.
@@larisonlifestyle I understand now.
We are in Idaho and we hardly ever stay in a Designated Campground area so we have not encountered this issue yet.
Some pretty expensive items here.
@Marst Sh, we tried to cover our big ticket items that make a difference in everyday life on the road. Some of them may not be for everyone but it's worth sharing.
What a load of expensive crap that is unneeded when boondocking.
@kennethwers, different strokes for different folks. If your only boondocking for the fun of it on a weekend yes you probably don't need most of this. IF your working full time while on the road boondocking then most of this was needed for us.
