Boondocking. Dry camping. Dispersed camping. Getting off the grid. Whatever you call it, its popularity among RVers is growing. And why shouldn’t it be? Boondocking offers fewer restrictions and more flexibility. It is typically much cheaper while also being more secluded, scenic, and quiet. And isn’t that why many RVers got their vehicles in the first place? To not be tethered down? To travel freely, confidently, beautifully?
Boondocking has many advantages over paid campgrounds and RV parks, but also requires more
advanced planning, from water and waste to food and fire. One of the most essential things to plan is power. Without the electricity hook-ups provided at most campground facilities, boondocking requires a complete, self-contained power system. While portable generators can serve as a valuable power source, they are noisy, poor for the environment, and require lots of additional fuel to run. Solar power, on the other hand, is abundant, quiet, and clean. And today’s solar panels and accessories for RVs are extremely efficient, inexpensive and easy to install.
Many RVs today come from the manufacturer with an existing solar panel installed, designed to provide a base level of supplemental power for the vehicle. This is a high-quality panel but may not provide enough current to the battery for those looking to go on an extended boondocking trip. This is where the lineup of Elite Solar Expansion Kits by WAY fills the gap. Our pre-built and customizable kits provide the best solutions for prepping your vehicles for whatever the RVer can throw at them powering 12V fridges, lights, and other small appliances for longer.
With panels starting at 100W and going up to 190W; specially designed Y-connectors; 10 to 30-amp charge controllers; power converters and inverters; cables; mounts; and more, our Elite Solar Expansion Kits and all our power solutions make for the perfect enabler for those perfect off-the-grid adventures.
Creating just the right power generation solution is a major step in getting your RVs boondocking-
ready. Just as important is making sure that the power consumption side of the equation is also properly planned for. And having the right RV fridge is a critical component of this setup.
The Everchill family of 12-volt refrigerators from WAY are designed to be the ideal appliances for boondocking. With a low current draw, these fridges can last for over 40 hours on a single battery and, when paired with the right solar power solution, can run indefinitely. Combine that with the fact that Everchill fridges have the most usable capacity in the industry and you have the perfect solution for enabling extended dry camping trips: less power needed and more food and drinks. Along with our most popular model 12V RV fridge, the 11 cubic foot, WAY has 12V fridges available from 4.5 up to 17 cubic feet with even larger models coming later in 2021.
Boondocking is the ultimate adventure for RVers and Elite solar solutions and Everchill fridges from WAY are the ultimate companions for these adventures. Get in touch with Way at web@wayinterglobal.com or contact us on our new website.
