Boondocking

That's a new term I've learned this past year as we researched and bought our first RV! My wife and I were  backpackers and very active "truck campers" My brother and I did some extreme backpacking, horsepacking, and truck camping in Mexico. Turns out boondocking means to stay in a site that doesnt have water, electrical, or sewer hookups. The biggest majority of the RV'ers refer to boondocking as staying in the parking lot of a Walmart! This was not an RV parking lot but off a logging road high in the Sierra Madre Mountains of the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. You don't sleep too close to the kitchen in case food odors bring bears or mountain lions by for a late night snack!
