We boondock mainly in the winter, so having tiltable panels is a must.  This past winter we boondocked for 3 months 8 miles outside of Borrego Springs, CA. We have a 160 fresh water tank,  and can go 3-4 weeks before taking on more water.  We only use the fresh water tank for showers,  flushing the toilet,  washing dishes, etc.  For drinking water we buy filtered water from those vending machines you see outside of stores....$1.50 for 5 gallons.  We have an onboard 7.5 kw propane generator, but prefer to use our Honda 2000 portable generator if needed.  Goes 6 hours on 1 gallon of gas,  whereas the Kohler/Perkins uses 1/2 gallon on propane per hour.  We have 620 watts of solar panels,  which gets us back to 100% on our flooded cell 8d batteries by 1 pm each day. We only use the generator on rainy/cloudy days.  Of course,  we have a 1982 Newell, which is very low tech.
