Boondocking essentials: Clearsource water system, Wildland Coffee, Oxygenics shower, Venture Wipes, Waggle monitor, Elide fireball, RV lock, and Jackery station.
If you’re new to boondocking, it’s easy to feel intimidated by it. You may associate it with strictly “roughing it,” going days on end without a shower or decent cup of coffee. Fortunately, that’s simply a misconception (a rather common one!).
While boondocking, by definition, means camping without some amenities, it certainly doesn’t mean being uncomfortable. In our Boondocking 101 virtual event, Harvest Hosts Community Events Coordinator and lifelong RV camper Megan Yarber shared our favorite boondocking products. These items can make your experience more enjoyable, comfier, and even safer!
Our Favorite Boondocking Products
From essential safety items to water-related boondocking products to nice-to-have luxuries for caffeine addicts, here are 11 things that should be in your RV!
1. Clearsource Nomad Water Filtration System
It’s important to use filtered water in your RV, even when you don’t have access to hookups. That’s where the Clearsource Nomad water filtration system comes in. The Nomad model is specifically designed for RVers and off-grid use. It’s compact, housed in a mountable chassis, and hooks up to any 12-volt battery. With the flip of a switch, voila! — clean water, filtered at just under five gallons per minute.
2. Water Jug Pump
For folks who prefer to not mess with a system, those iconic 5-gallon blue jugs are must-haves — but they’re heavy (did you know that one gallon of water weighs about 8 pounds?). Instead of constantly lifting the jugs to pour, get a water jug pump! Available in battery- or Bluetooth-operated and manual models, these pumps make dispensing water super easy for refilling bottles, washing hands, and doing dishes.
