As Tom has pointed out you really have to be careful where you boondock. My coach weighs in at just under 59,000 pounds and you really need to stay on hard pack or you will definitely start to sink. We have some forum members that have or are currently installing lithium battery packs with solar so they can camp off the grid. They might chime in and give you some ideas of where they boondock.
I have not done much boondocking with my coach but when I have it has been on no less than hardback gravel. With my lifeline batteries I can go through the night without the generator kicking on. I do have to run the generator to use my cooktop which is 220 volt so while I am cooking breakfast I am recharging the battery bank. I do not boondock when I have to run AC for the generator would have to be running all the time so you are not able to commune with nature being closed up with AC and genset running...
