If you are in a populated area or with other RVers, be careful about how much you run your generator, as well as the times of day that you run it. Make sure you are taking up the least amount of parking area possible and do not extend your slides if they will be in anyone's way. In some cases you may be able to extend your slides, and in other cases you may not. Pay special attention to your surroundings when setting up. Otherwise, it might be a good idea to park your rig in the assigned area, but a bit away from other RVers so you all have some space.

It's a good idea to start your dry camping adventure with empty grey and black water tanks. Make sure that you have enough water in your fresh water tank and gas in your fuel tank. Boondocking or dry camping means that you are camping without any access to any type of hookup. So when we went to dinner, we had to be sure that we were back on their property before they closed for the night. For example, Franklin Community Park locks their gate in the evening. Ask them if it is okay, where they prefer that you park, and any rules that you need to be aware of. ![]() Before you head out on your boondocking adventure, it's always best to call ahead to the places where you would like to park.
