Ah, the joys of Boondocking

Well, Monty took her first trip into the wild over the holiday weekend. The mountains were wonderful, no phones, no television, did some serious reading, walking, and fishing. BUT, not having a generator or the 6 volt battery set-up we were without power by the time we were ready to leave. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate closing the glides and retracting the legs by hand. We tried charging the batteries from the truck, but somethings haywire in Denmark, because that little backup plan was a non-starter. Am I incorrect in thinking the batteries should take a charge from the TV? Now we're looking into installing a set of 6 volt batteries and picking up a small generator. Would there be any advantage to installing solar to keep the batteries charged?

All that aside, it was still a good weekend.
