Each has an energy efficient propane heating and cooking system, and all have holding tanks for fresh and waste water. Like ours, most of the larger rigs have inverters to power all the AC appliances from batteries. Four o'clock happy hour discussions frequently center around electronic gadgets that improve the quality of life. One is far more likely to hear a conversation about using a laptop computer to get email on the road than a comparison of marshmallow roasting techniques. The main problem with this group of boondockers is that the only thing they enjoy more than socializing is eating.
Potluck dinners produce delicious food enough to feed three times the number of diners present.
We recently had an Italian night, a chili night, hobo stew, a potato bake and eggs in a bag. Of course, all this socializing and eating has its price. One must return to solitude, exercise and starvation to try to get back to a normal waistline. The new water purification system overfilled the holding tanks and drowned the vacuum cleaner that was temporarily stored in the shower. Christmas gifts are still catching up with us.
