Not me, Rick! Even when completely unattached, our little RV has electric 
lights, hot and cold running water, thermostat 
controlled heat, etc.

Gotta have propane in one tank and diesel in the other tank, and we are pretty 
darn independent for at least a few days 
at a time.

I've changed out the halogen bulbs in most of the lighting for LEDs, so battery 
power now lasts much longer. I even 
found a couple of 140 lumen, warm white ones that actually work better than 
halogen in the reading lights. I was 
surprised to find that even the dimmers work on the LEDs. (Yeah, recessed 
lighting, dimmers, not too rough!)

I did have to rewire the circuits on a couple of the LED lights. The RV wiring 
polarity gets reversed between the first 
and the last two lights on one circuit. Incandescent doesn't care, but LEDs do. 
Easier to switch the polarity on the LED 
light module with little jumpers than to dig into the finish work on the RV.

Carol likes to car camp with tent and so forth. I don't enjoy that sort of 
camping. Tents and such made sense back when 
I backpacked, but not when next to the road. :-)
