Llike most, when we "travel" we usually stay at WalMart or another convenient and safe place for a simple overnight rest stop. If we're going to be someplace where it's unusually hot, we'll opt for at least electric service. Destinations usually are full hookups for these trips.

However, the majority of our "camping" (probably 95% of our use) is in unimproved US Forest or State campgrounds with no hookups (pit toilet and hand pumped water). Often, in Michigan, we camp where no campground is near. Michigan allows free camping on state property where there is no campground within one mile. We've found a number of lakes with excellent fishing and no available campground. We often set up on a bluff overlooking some of the most beautiful lakes in northern Michigan and on occasion have shared our fish with the bears <yikes>.

Thus, we find the need for a generator to recharge every few days.
