Boondocking

I have done a lot of dry camping and am dry camping for a week as we speak, the first time in our Newell. Terry is right, the generator is there to use. You won't be able to put enough solar on the roof to make much difference. I had 760 watts of solar on my last coach and still had to run the generator. I can guarantee my coach will go places a Newell has never been to.

Water usage is my bigger concern, 143 gallons is great but the bottom half of the tank always seems smaller. In our Newell I can fill the tank to full capacity by sticking the water hose in the fill tube instead of using autofill. That gains quite a few gallons more.

Lithium sounds great until you take the coach somewhere for service where they will completely kill the batteries. Friends have experienced that.

I'm still trying to figure out some of the automation, Spyder is quite a change from my last coach. Have fun!
