In time you will develop a knack for spotting wonderful
little roadside locations by turning off the main highway
and exploring� There are many modern recreational
vehicle parks, including State, County, and Federal
parks with good facilities, where you may obtain
electrical, water, and sewer hookups and connections�
Directories are published which describe in detail these
parks and tell what is available in the way of services
and hookups�
All you need to do to enjoy the self-contained luxury
while boondocking is to:
1� Turn on the 12-volt battery disconnect switch to
provide power to your components�

Turn the inverter on to power 120 VAC outlets
and appliances� To conserve battery power,
turn off the inverter when not in use�
3� Turn on the water pump and open faucets until air
is expelled from the system�
Before moving on, turn off appliances, water pump,
and battery disconnect� Check your campsite, both for
cleanliness and to be sure you have not left anything
behind� Make sure everything is properly stowed�
