How Do I Setup my Campsite | Always Boondocking Strategy for Camper Vans

What's my secret for setting up camp in my 19 foot camper van? ** More about this video ** I like a lot of flexibility when I setup at a campsite. I want to be able to just pull in and out whenever I please. One big advantage of owning a camper van is that you don't need to tow a car. Your van is your car. So maximize this advantage by never hooking up at your campsite. Boondock all the time. When full your camper van has a plenty big fresh water tank to take care of all your water needs for a few days. And your black and grey water tanks are plenty big to meet your waste water needs for a few day. With solar and big enough battery banks all your electrical needs are met. The only time you may need to plug into shore power is if you need to run your AC. If this is the case then plug in this one line but generally I don't need this unless it's just really hot and humid out. throwing open my rear and side doors and opening the top roof vent tends to cool off my van nicely. The advantage of this setup is that you're always untethered and ready to drive off whenever you want. Want to go pick up some groceries? No problem, just drive to your local market. Want to see a movie? Just hop in the van with the family and drive to the theater. Then, drive back and pull into your spot for the evening. Easy as pie. When you're ready to leave the camp site, that's the time to hook up. First, fill up your black and grey tanks with any remaining water in your fresh water tank. Then hook up your sewer hose and flush your black and then your grey tanks. Now your holding tanks are empty and ready for your next campsite stay. Lastly, fill up your fresh water tank to full. Now you've got all the water you need until you setup camp again. Driving to your next destination will use your engine alternator to top off your battery charge. If you follow this procedure you'll find you have maximum flexibility to take advantage of owning a camper van. You can pull in and out of your camping spot whenever you like to explore your the environs around your new home. You'll always pull into your new campsite with a tank of fresh water, empty holding tanks and a full battery. What could be better?
