Our Top 10 Best Boondocking Gadget Countdown

[@gonewiththewynns]

Gadgets, gadgets, we love our #WildCamping gadgets! buff.ly/1OzpoIy #Boondocking

[@JohnAngevine]

Thanks for the great ideas. I really like the AGS, didn't know they made those

[@h.brooks9887]

Where do you find such a nice site when wild camping?

[@RVingwithLuck]

Gone with the Wynns - Best gay couple RV show yet. Although I doubt they ever went more than 2 days "off the gird".

[@tritchie6272]

RV Ralph AZ I was wondering if I'm just old and cranky or does this episode scream phony? I still may watch a few more episodes of them and see if I can glean some useful info. To me the girl seems more knowledgeable than the boy.

[@backroadgypsy1229]

Lol, why is everybody so mean? Who cares if they call it camping? I used a tent until I was 53, I still would if I really wanted to go someplace on my bike. I recently bought a nice, used, low miles motorhome which I plan to take off in and I watch these videos to get ideas for easier living. I plan on living in mine so I don't have to live with my kids. ;)

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Well..they are not diplomatic comments for sure yet...this video gives rise to thoughts of throwing money at every little setback while using your RV. It is a promotional mindset. Little shown in the video is best for boondocking...just more RV gadgets. The LED lights are wonderful, the roof vent fantastic but...the generator stuff? no.

[@benningtoncamper2852]

Another great product for water filtration that takes no electricity is a Berkey or Aqua Rain filtration system. We recently bought one for testing in our house before we take it on the road and it is great!

[@tardedfish91]

I’m truly mind blown at their wild camping without their city lights. Wow if this is wild camping to them I wonder how many bentleys they have? Just wow!

[@dloqi]

Great and informative video - thanks for making it, and thanks for putting a fresh face on RV living! I'm very inspired!

[@jw4620]

These videos are appreciated. Most of us would not know what questions to ask, to begin with

[@deguzzy]

Your solar system is great! Being able to camp away from the crowds and still have power to run your little gadgets is key for me.

[@WizzRacing]

I got to say. These two could sell dirt to farmers and make you feel good about watching it. Great Stuff

[@17025601]

Not exactly roughing it. Start with a big Class A, throw several thousand dollars of goodies into it, and, voila!, boondocking. Take it down that dirt road?

[@markdressler6651]

Great video, I didn't even know some of these items excited. Thank you for posting

[@rayk4e]

Recently saw the Going RV episode where you guys picked out your MH and now here you are making great videos. I really enjoy them so thanks for making them. And dude.. you are one lucky man! Keep up the good work and keep sharing!

[@andyoo11]

Does it really make a difference how you camp,as long as you enjoy what you do? an RV or a tent . sure I,d like a Bus like theirs but i try to face the fact that I cant ,I,m 78 and building my 5th ,not 1 of them the same and all HIGH mileage 500853klm when I bought this one We will see as much as we can and possibly stay longer but our enjoyment is the pride in building and living in our Hi- Ace which what its all about .

[@juliaparks06]

You guys are amazing ! I love watching your videos and learning all I can for our move into RV living soon .... thank you !

[@johnpuccetti9383]

I am convinced that composting toilets are the way to go. And after my own research I agree with your choice!

[@BillGreenAZ]

I love that outfit she's wearing! I also love the idea of having Christmas lights on the outside of your RV.

[@markschultz926]

Even though the video is 7 years old it's still very good in informing

[@OverkilledUnderdog]

You guys are so cute. Love gaining knowledge from you ... always keep coming back to your videos. Thx for making them.

[@RWSBrowning]

Wow you and your daughter have some great tips! Thanks.

[@IsRasna]

I learn something great every time I watch one of your videos. The more eco friendly I can camp, the better. I love the solar oven. Never considered one before.

[@chazsteadman5020]

Moving into the motor home next week (wish me luck, she's old and oogly, but she'll have to do for now). Used to have a website teaching people how to cook with the Sun Oven. I've had mine for years now. Success to you! Chaz

[@terrydelaney3675]

Can you do a video about full-time RV-ing and pets? We want to install a cat but are afraid the dang thang will run off. Include how you deal with the litter box. Some RV-ers cut a hole in the floor and put the litter box in the basement. Keep up the good work!

[@ravenspies7640]

Hi there!!! Have you ever thought of doing bio diesel? I always wanted a diesel just for that. It's actually not that complicated... and the diesel engine was designed actually to run off oil of ANY kind! Pretty cool. You guys are awesome. It makes me sad to see there are so many critical comments on here. Please know I appreciate your videos, knowledge, and environmentally gentle ways!

[@relationz2302]

The cat is on the top of the TV at the beginning! Haha

[@rktp4074]

We are really enjoying your videos! You have lots of gadgets and appliances that you put to good use. Our question is...where and how do you store them? Thanks for the great info so far. Robert and Kimberley

[@kamikazekeebler]

That is a nifty fan. The oven is interesting, never seen that before. Thanks.

[@mspicela]

I'd love to see some meals cooked in the solar oven. It may be a perfect experiment while you are in hot Florida shopping for boats.

[@Jamminalong]

Nikki, after 1.5 yrs of growing my hair I've decided to go back to my pixie since watching your videos. Have you thought about doing a hair/makeup video/tutorial (you're the professional, lol) in an RV? Any favorite hair products you can't live without? Tips for styling a pixie cut? Would love to see something like this for fun!! Cheers! ~M

[@marcelplathe1158]

Ok geek

[@RVingwithLuck]

[@RVgeeks]

RV Ralph AZ

[@RVgeeks]

***** How about we go with the Wynn's favorite term... "Wild Camping" instead. That sounds like a lot more fun.

[@RVingwithLuck]

RVgeeks I am sorry. My comment was rude.

[@golden4730]

*That Fail at the end* LMAO😂

[@smacdiesel]

Wow, some great advice, not sure about the composting toilet though. LOL!!

[@dickcavasa]

I like the LED Lights. They are more expensive but so far seems to be worth it. Time will tell. Great video.

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Boondockers need little of this stuff. We do like LED's and most would like a high quality vent fan. Nicely made video though. Keep them coming!

[@kd6844]

Every episode I gain more valuable knowledge, thanks.

[@Mr2Reviews]

It'd be nice if RVs added a rain water catchment system. Also, switch out the fabric on the awning to flexible solar panels.

[@PetesProjects0]

Great video. Very informative, as usual. Keep up the great work!

[@nomadpi1]

Looks like recorded in a farmer's front yard (mowed grass!), with hay bales in the background; maybe a field just outside downtown. Huge, new bus and ostentatious mass consumption devices.

[@sinoperture]

So cute how using a bus is still called "Camping". ;-)

[@sojutime]

Free overnight parking morphed into boondocking morphed into wild camping.

[@dmcatempaccount4511]

Haa haha, 'wild camping'? Have you two ever spent a week in the woods or caught your own food for a week? Not only is that not wild camping, it's barely even Glamping ... In your ultra luxury motor coach with more amenities than a room at a FIVE STAR luxury resort. This should be called > 'tips for a luxury RV road trip'.

[@frankgenner782]

I don't listen to people that do videos on with a green screen when it comes to RVs

[@NKARENG]

Been watching your videos today's. Love them!

[@TheRjjrjjr]

You guys are a joy to watch. Thanks for all the information! One question, instead of more grey water storage, why don't you use your black water tank space for more batteries?

[@gonewiththewynns]

+TheRjjrjjr we upgraded to lithium batteries so they are double the power and take up the same footprint! We talk about and show them here: www.gonewiththewynns.com/rv-modifications-technology

[@yangpny]

You both r my inspiration for the rv lifestyle..love u guys so much!!

[@MrSweeperUSA]

Speaking off boondocking, I discovered this cool lifehack by accident for milk. Fresh milk I freeze for a day and place back in the fridge. Once defrosts I've found the milk lasts wayyy past the date. Some weird science but it works for me.

[@RVwithTito]

You've got some cool automatic stuff in that rig. I just ordered a couple of those aerators from your post. Thanks for the link and video!

[@gonewiththewynns]

RVwithTito Thanks for the support!

[@davidjohn9006]

That's one heck of a "camper" in the opening scenes!!

[@daveinohio9383]

Hi Guys.... great vids.... where is the campground ??? Looks nice with the mountains in the bkground...

[@gonewiththewynns]

Dave In'ohio Prado Regional Park in CA

[@rudyhernandez9245]

That was a great video... Thanks guys... I have an off the wall question for you, Where did you guys make this video... Where were you? Thanks Rudy

[@gonewiththewynns]

Rudy Hernandez We were camping at Prado Regional park in CA

[@rafael661kc]

i always thought camping was to get away from the tech

[@Maxid1]

+rafael661kc You thought wrong. Camping has always been about making camping enjoyable with what ever tech is available. Or anyone sleeping in a tent isn't camping because a tent as shelter is tech.

[@rafael661kc]

who said i take tents

[@Maxid1]

rafael661kc Well then you'd better be going camping naked because anything you bring with you is technology.

[@rafael661kc]

toushe...

[@supergeeky7529]

OMG I love this! This gives me so many ideas!!!

[@jerometruitt1452]

You guys are awesome! I live in New Jersey and the real estate market is crazy here. So much so that I am seriously considering living in an RV or TT full time. I like the idea of having no rent, mortgage or utility payment. I have been researching like crazy and my biggest concern was handling of sewerage, not trying to drive 40 miles every week to dump the black tank. You guys basically have answered all my major questions. I will be subscribing. Is there anything you can tell me about incinerating toilets? I was looking into composting but something that is a bit less "hands on" in the humans waste department would suit me better lol thanks!

[@Boondockabillies]

We got the Wilson cell phone booster and eager to get it installed. Thanks for the great videos! :)

[@bombsquadairsoft6761]

I really like this compilation! Great job!

[@lindanerney9896]

This is a nice informative video, but this is really for upscale camping.

[@neckmangler]

tough life in that bus. why bother to leave the house. except for a change in scenery.

[@tcalomfirescu]

Oh boy, I hope you two breed soon--you both are cute as buttons, creative, curious, intelligent and sharing: the world need more Wynns!

[@stephencmullins]

I would Love to hear what your top ten off grid favorite items are today after more time both in the RV and boat. It would be interesting to hear how many of these items still make the list 😃

[@gonewiththewynns]

Interesting....

[@apk29]

It's cool what you guys are doing! Keep it up!

[@01fitter1]

Wow, all of you’re products are like,,,,new!

[@tightlines5220]

Great gadgets and video, thanks.

[@0HARE]

Excellent! Thanks for all you do.

[@paulpeterson7864]

Great advice, thank you

[@TheRamblinCamperVan]

Awesome little doodads! Great video!

[@supermangaming1019]

THE Cat WENT ON THE RV LOL

[@carebarehair]

Another great video, thanks. This may seem a stupid question but how long does the electricity store once you've harnessed it? Also what cleaning products do you use? I've tried eco friendly products but I find that they just don't clean good enough. Is there stuff I should avoid because obviously I don't want to damage my motorhome.

[@gonewiththewynns]

carebarehair We talk about each product in more depth in the article on our site: www.gonewiththewynns.com/best-rv-boondocking-gear As for biodegradable products we use Caldrea or Mrs. Meyers

[@MamaBearpaw]

love the info...i have learned a lot

[@mickellamac]

i don't know i have watched a few of these videos and becoming convinced these 2 are actors trying to market products. look at the body language its just not rite

[@brichusi]

mickellamac and your point is? everyone is marketing something. they are doing a good job.. they are providing some ideas for new people and getting paid. don't knock them for getting out of the cubicle. mist people are afraid of change.. go change yourself before knocking others choices.

[@marciaoleson6374]

Tuaca Waca and the reality of that toilet is you have to clean it with boiling water, just checked the manufacturers advice on it. If you don't you have build up of germs in it after a while that will eventually seep into your rig. Was planning on switching now no might as well stick with what we have.

[@ingriddubbel8468]

Right not rite.

[@Rocky1765]

I would not trust a UV only item to make water potable. But that is just me... But I really like your #2, could we get more information on that portable solar array?

[@larryoutdoors8437]

I like the word wild camping, nice.😉

[@Hintabask]

Wild camping with a diesel pusher. Real rough.

[@harmonyrose856]

I do really love your channel - very informative, novel and friendly!

[@DMills-un1tl]

Ok, so perhaps I'm late to the party and you're on video 1,000+, but are you full-timers? Also, how many cats do you have and how does that work out? Don't they run off when you let them outside? I have too many to camp with but am very curious how people manage doing so. Thanks.

[@MestizaMetaphor]

Could you guys make a list of the items in the description? It's hard to tell what brand or name they have to find them ourselves. Really interested in that awesome flashlight!

[@gonewiththewynns]

Laurie Stevens we list out everything and include Amazon links to the specific products on our site: www.gonewiththewynns.com/best-rv-boondocking-gear the site should be linked in the video description and on the annotations as well.

[@MestizaMetaphor]

Gone with the Wynns Oops, duh! Thank you! :)

[@jimmyg1095]

what do you guys do for a living? that looks like a million dollar rv? I would like to get off the grid so any money advice would help..cheers from canada.

[@keosh777]

Great info. Thanks!

[@thecrazymanfromireland]

I'm sorry but looking at that big fancy RV I wouldn't be going to a river for my water I'd buy it in a shop !!!!!

[@brichusi]

The crazy man from Ireland. haters. if u guys are jealous get out and sell some of the finances cars credit cards for more stuff u did not need and buy u a used Rv and hit the road and find a way to finance the travels like this couple has... then you can hate on them or anyone else. look at your lousy life first before bashing someone's camper they are free to travel in while you sit at home paying your 110 month cable TV bill w nothing on. lmao. you made it this far down ... but you get it right. all of you guys on here if you want to post negative comments on them click unsubscribe or go away.... lol simple

[@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32]

This is not wild camping. You are parked near a road, or other human assets there is nothing wild about that.

[@LordHakai]

LOL you talking about camping and you have a sort of mobile home with you? Yes thats realy cool but only to change your garden around you... I think a tent is ok but a little house? Hope you understand what i mean, english is not my main.

[@nonohate]

Man me and you are on the same boat here, it's so annoying that they talk about camping yet they have a literal house around them, camping is going out in a tent with no electricity (maybe solar energy for a phone) but 4g is no necessity, yes if you get stranded in the Forrest and lost you have a compass on you. You cannot use a RV and call it camping, you have electricity and clean water. I'm 14 and I love camping with no clean water and minimal food but plenty of tools to find and use water to drink. It's fun to have a challenge, that is camping, a challenge

[@yeah4me1]

+iamnyamgamer It IS their house! They live off grid in a great set up....they supposed to be poor, and tacky? Geeze Jethro

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

LordHakai this is not camping...but to a Californian south of San Franscisco it probably is...,lol RVing is what these two are doing..definatly not camping..

[@DuskSunDawn]

Some people think that camping is about connecting with nature and reducing the footprint as much as possible. It's a valid way of thinking. Class A motorhomes are more luxurious than most houses. Class A motorhomes are as luxurius as luxurius houses, first class airplane seat and governmental buildings.

[@zzyzxzee6374]

Just picked up a solio,hope it works for my ipad mini

[@scottmuck]

Don't think I'd call any of that "camping", more like driving around in a luxury land yacht

[@Pierre-dz3ut]

great video! i have a couple of questions though. That solar-oven you use, is it really that efficient? Nevermind bugs getting in your food, I find it really difficult to believe you can warm up something like a frozen pizza with it. Also in regard to your cats, do you keep them locked up in your rv all the time or can you let them out (if you're not on a tight schedule off course)? I'm thinking of converting a sprinter to a full-time living space, but i don't want to lock my cat in there 24/7, she's already used to a certain lifestyle 😉.

[@quidestveritas8713]

Do your cats do well travelling? I have two and they hate to ride. What did you do to help them adjust? ☺️

[@EricAlainDufresne]

Great channel guys! Keep it up. Eric

[@zachcoldwell7978]

I made it to 1:03 before having to turn it off.

[@bucsfan116]

In one of your videos you had a water purifier on your counter and you got a pitcher of water from a pond and ran it thru the purifier. What is the brand name of the purifier and where did you get it from. Thank you in advance.

[@gonewiththewynns]

It's a micro distiller from H20 Labs. www.h2olabs.com/

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Consider using a Berkey or similar gravity countertop filter. Any of the ones used in 3rd world situations. Google it.

[@pgbtwoofive3354]

@Gone with the Wynns. Any reason you are not using satellite phone?

[@garyanderson9467]

Cuz they don't need them. They damn rarely are out of cell service areas.

[@danhold1]

nice choices

Excelent gadget tips, #1 expecially, composting toliets are a smart way to go, I use one of course in my camp :)

Really nice! Thanks!

[@Dillonpickle]

great, thanks for uploading

I just love you kids!

[@DonTXPgr]

Great products to see their use or purpose. But disappointed that this video is not captioned at all. Oh well since I am deaf and interesting to know those products for rving or camping etc

[@TheSateef]

you have AC for your cats? that's really roughing it.

[@RVingwithLuck]

***** -no doubt..... Best gay couple RV show yet. Although I doubt they ever went more than 2 days "off the gird".

[@tritchie6272]

***** In a previous comment I was probably a bit harsh on them. On this though I have to somewhat take their side. If they are gonna have pets I would rather they be responsible enough to keep them from becoming dangerously over heated. After all my guess is letting the cats outside unsupervised would be a bad ideal.

[@deeneebeeni2078]

***** When you live in a $100K RV you can afford to keep the cats cool.

[@tazmun]

+DeeNeebeeni 85 degrees isn't cool by my standards but it does save the animals I'm sure. They are using enough solar energy I don't think AC costs them much at all...although I can't argue about how much the RV cost...

[@PeterbiltEmzie]

+RV Ralph AZ With the set up they have, they could boondock for .. a very very very very long time. They have solar, like 1300w, so say 4.5hr of peak sun exposure to those, that's nearly 6kw a day of electricity. If their is a day where it's cloudy or something they can conserve their battery banks voltage, and/or turn on the generator for some time. You know those big 60a 12v car battery chargers? Throw that right onto the generator and boom fully charged batteries in no time, that would be like $1-2 in gas since it's so low currently. Oh, no black tank instead double grey tanks? That's like 100+ gallons of grey water storage, if they let that evaporate or distill some of it, that just lengthens the term of their boondocking adventure. Something else, you can get whats called a water bladder, they come in all kinds of sizes, from like 30 gal all the way up to 300 gal. They could put one in the bottom of their RV if all of the room isn't taken up, maybe one indoors, or maybe even just put one in their car? I'd say their potable water tank is already around 100 gal since they're in a nice RV, now say another 100+ gal in a water bladder, then they could also collect rain water, use pantie hoes over top of the entrance or on the bottom part of a funnel to keep out certain things like bugs, etc. They would run out of food before fresh water if they done this. However, since they're able to boondock so long if they play their cards right, during summer time they could get a elevated garden, which is 16sqft of growing area and stays elevated off of the ground so it doesn't mess up the land, two of those 32sqft, could yield a decent amount of food for two people. They also have these things called aerogardens where you can grow indoors from LED lights, and you can even put plants near windows. If you have a RV or a camper you can live off the grid forever. I could take a Camper or RV and live off the grid for a full year without putting one mile on it, and if you want to step it up a notch, I could do it without a vehicle as well. Just let me pick my own placement for it. :)

[@1bakerblue]

Awesome items thanks...

[@jacketsfan72]

This is off-topic but I love the hair color! Very seasonally appropriate!!

Great video

[@thegreatlimechan]

can you link me the model of the maxxair vent you use?? we need it for our kitties

[@adampennington8954]

"Wild camping" lol. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in rv, equipment, etc. isn't camping.

[@adampennington8954]

It's not about the money. It's about the term "wild camping". Good for them to be able to roam freely. But when I think of camping, I think of taking whatever I can carry in my rucksack and staying out in the woods for a week or two.

[@DuskSunDawn]

The RV on this video is a Class A, I think. It's the most expensive RV (product, reparation, accesories, etc) . kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2LGpWCQfbyEb7M

[@SMT23Brad]

No - Who are you kidding - This isn't even CLOSE to camping. LOL

[@YourMajesty143]

Oh here come the purists and hipsters trying to pigeonhole what camping is. RV Campers have existed for over a century. Camping is literally defined as "the activity of spending a vacation living in a camp, tent, or camper". There are various styles of camping. Your preferred style might be roughing it, while others style of camping is simply to be off the grid. There are people who believe camping is done via a car & a tent, yet some backpackers (on foot) may judge car travelers or truck campers as not truly roughing it, and some nomadic hitchhikers who don't carry anything but what's in their pockets may judge backpackers & tenters as not truly roughing it. There's always gonna be somebody who'll tell somebody else they're not doing it right. Some prefer to dry camp in the "boonies" (boondocking), while others prefer the safety of a well-lit parking lot (urban camping). There are people who don't see camping as a vacation and prefer to live off-grid full-time, so they want the best of both worlds: the convenience & stability of a home and the adventure of the outdoors. I doubt those of you who prefer "roughing it" would ever do it that way full-time. Admit that if you decided to camp full-time, you'd absolutely wish to hold onto the creature comforts that you only temporarily leave behind when you're "wild camping", so maybe get off your high horses and get real.
