Backpacking -vs- "car camping"

[RYAN50BMG]

I KNOW I speak for all when I say "I hate you and your stupidly huge fifth-wheeler, tent-with-stove, Austin Powers-shadow-"salami"-thingy".

Jealous much? Yeah, me too! (esp of the camper)

The only thing I can say in my defense is that I am set up to dry camp. Solar power and the unit carries 80 gal of propane and 50 gal of water.

Nice camper Jerry. I've just a 1976 POS (that's "piece of ....") camper that's just over 1/2 the size of you camper. The best I can say for it is that it has a warm bed, a Forced air gas heater, and a 4 burner stove.

I need to find a CHEAP solar system to use to recharge the battery each day. My buddy has one that cost him $800 and charges his battery about 75% - this is far too costly for me.
