Hello everyone,
I'm starting this thread (that will be a sticky) to provide general information on Boondocking. If anyone has a resource link they want to add to this list, just send me the link via PM and I will add it ASAP. Please don't nominate a link by responding to this thread. And please no campground links, we talkin' Boondocking here. If you have an idea for a new category, then by all means let me know.
Note that not every link can be added, so a nominated link may not make it. But the goal here is to capture useful links that will be of interest in one convenient location.
And thanks for the links.

Hi Mello,
I find the HandyBob site mostly a rant. Some of the suggestions are poor. Sonicsix has a much better concise and accurate site. As per your request I'll send the url in a private message.
Regards, Don
My ride is a 28 foot Class C, 256 watts solar, 556 amp-hours of Telcom jars, 3000 watt Magnum hybrid inverter, Sola Basic Autoformer, Microair Easy Start.

Well my husband who deals with electric codes and stuff finds the Handy Bob site very accurate about the hows and whys for doing solar the correct way to get the most out of money that is spent on stuff.

Good boondocking requires more comfort heading off the beaten path and down some unmarked road. Here are some links on reading maps and using the maps for finding those hidden boondocking gems.

If you have a Garmin GPS, The GPS FILE DEPOT site has some great free Topo maps you can down load and use on almost any Garmin product. Maps have tons of useful information on them.
GPSFILEDEPOT.COM
There also several other maps and overlays that can be of great interest.
