Many people like to take their RV's out in the desert and camp. There are designated places where this is allowed and it is popular. You can park in these areas with a permit from BLM for the winter months. The last time I heard the permit cost $180 so you are camping for about a dollar a day. You get access to water to fill your tank. There is a dump station you can use to dump your black water and there is a place to bring your garbage. It's a pretty good deal if you like to test your ability to live off the grid.
The RVer's that stay out here have a variety of power sources. They have a generator which requires gas to run although there is a new one out that runs on propane. You will see rigs with lots of solar panels mounted on them or portable solar panels set up on the ground. These attach to on board batteries that run almost everything. We are also starting to see more small three bladed wind generators that folks are using for a little power. I'm not sure how quiet is out there in the mornings and evenings when people are running their generators. I would want to be off by myself away from noise but you have to camp in designated areas and when it gets really busy down here there are RVs everywhere. Right now it is kind of sparse. I'm not sure if people are waiting to come down after the holidays or if covid has them staying home.
