What are the things to look for in off grid functionality? Which trailer are you rocking? What did you add to it?

I'll probably rent for a few weekend trips ahead of one long trip. But I can work remotely often, despise flying, love the open road in the western half of the country and have a large dog I'd like to keep along with me. I can see myself getting out for weeks at a time eventually.

Solar setup, hold tanks for water, and starlink come to mind for me and needing to stay connected for my remote job. A generator to run AC during summer months

We're in a Living Vehicle and it came ready to go as is. We can run everything, including the A/C, indefinitely. We also have an onboard water generator. Before this one we were in an Airstream, then a class A.

There are a whole lot of ways you could go. If you're wanting to work from the road, install the biggest battery bank and solar array you can fit, along with a properly sized inverter. Alternator charging from the truck and a backup generator are also good things to have.

Then, add Starlink and a Peplink with SIM cards from a couple carriers. If you want to make your life easier, get a water bladder and a portable wastewater tank. Otherwise, be ready to break down your site and find somewhere to empty and refill your holding tanks.
