You might be a boondocker if the starry skies are bright enough to read by when you turn your lights out.

...you thought the "city water" thing was for blowing in air to winterize the water system.
That's not what it's for?? I never used it in either of my campers.

.....is this too borderline....??

...you are camping in a campsite, it has a table, a pull in, a view of the Pacific Coast Mountains, Mount Waddington, the highest peak of the British Columbia Coast Range, it's only 30 feet to the ocean beach, it's free until after you were gone because it's pre-season, there is no water, no electricity, no sewer, the sun is shining, it's on an island off Vancouver Island...

We loved it for three nights about three weeks ago.

Don't forget the time of "Oh dark thirty" to get up to go hunting/fishing.

You might be a boondocker if.... you have committed to memory the single and combined power draw of every electric powered item in your camper down to a "mA"

You might be a boondocker if... you put big tires on your truck to go stay out on the beach 15 feet from the ocean

You might be a boondocker if... you put 45 extra gallons of fresh water on top of your camper
