Traveling Slow with Weeks of Dry Camping

Eric and I have plans in the mid Florida region and we are traveling slowly.  We came to Gainesville from Tallahassee on Friday.  Why would anyone dry camp when there are campgrounds everywhere?

We want to visit cities and parking in business parking lots cuts the amount of time we spend driving to places we want to destinations.  We rely on the solar panel system we had installed at AM Solar in October 2012 to charge the house batteries.  Running the generator to do this can get costly, with the price of diesel approaching $4.30 per gallon.  We have 100 gallons of water and our grey and black water tanks are quite large.

Conserving resources is a challenge we are happy to take on.  Finding resources for potable water and dump are part of the challenge.  Bring it on!

We are dry camping in
Walmart parking lots.

At the Walmart in Gainesville

we are parking next to a pond.

On Monday evening we
settled into the parking lot  at a
Cracker Barrel in Ocala.

We are parked in a 

separate lot

in the rear
corner.

We are parked with a Class C RV,
two oversize vans, two Ryder trucks,
 three tractor trailers, a medium
 duty truck & very large speed boat.

I watched two cars stop
so the drivers could take
pictures of this boat.



Our next stop is DeLand for an RV Show.  I don't know where we're staying.  I want overnight in a Bass Pro Shop, but there isn't one in the area.
