While we were in Alaska we set an amazing record for ourselves – 66 nights in a row totally off-grid, unplugged, unhooked! Our previous record was 11 nights.  We were at an RV park with hookups  in early July. We used state and federal campgrounds, and boondocked some. NO electric hookup/shore power, no water hookup, no sewer hookup. Our solar panels, lithium batteries and generators kept us powered up all that time! And the part that is actually amazing is that some weeks we would only see the sun one day! We only used our generators about a dozen times!

Now that we have done that- unintentionally- we are so very grateful for full hookup campgrounds and feel spoiled when we stay at one 🙂

btw, our rig holds 80 gallons of fresh water, and we can make it last 5 days and take showers every day! The average American uses 80 gallons a day!!
