We live in the middle of a jungle on a few acres with no CCR's.
We had a camp setup for a year. first put in a 27,000 gallon water catchment tank then a 5kwatt PV system then - We put up a 10X10 kitchen screen tent with SS refrigerator, gas oven/cooktop, microwave, toaster, laundry sink, Cabela camp counter, hot water. We used our new front loader washing machine, had satellite internet and satellite TV. We also had a shower tent and an outhouse with regular toilet. We had two 10X16 cabin tents, one with queen bed and dressers, the other was livingroom setup inside all covered by a 20X40 canopy on plywood platforms. It was nearly a year of hellish weather at times; tents reached 120 degrees inside during the summer days and the wind was very unpleasant at time as was the heavy rain. It’s something I would perhaps not do again and we had all the modern conveniences, so it’s not as easy as it sounds. We went through 6 cabin tents, 2 kitchen gazebos and 3 shower tents.
I personally would recommend building a well vented shack to live in instead of a tent.
Now we’re in our house.
