Go outside sit around the campfire and enjoy the camping experience. If you need all that stuff, and have your generator, then don't worry about what you use and throw away the spread sheet.

How I view camping, or boondocking, has greatly changed over the years and I'm sure that definition will continue to evolve as I get older. In my younger years a sleeping bag and AM radio was high-dollar stuff. Today, at 66 (and counting) it means a motor home.
I have an ulterior motive here as well. A motor home means my wife will go with me to Moab Utah next year, whereas she would not go if I told her we were camping in the wild.
And hotels are out as we have 2 rather large German Shepherds, and there is no way she would leave them at a kennel.
Young men camp in the wild, wise old men buy a motor home.
