Morning!! I'm not much on boondocking without electricity, so not much help to you. However, I'd check into powering my crockpot with an inverter. Inverters change battery power to electric power for your crock pot. Rather than run the generator for six to eight hours to crockpot, I'd use an inverter.
Walmart has a 400 watt one, which will cover surges to 800 watts for just under $28.00. A crock pot uses approximately 75 watts on low and 150 on high. The inverter plugs into a cigarette lighter type plug. I don't have one handy to the kitchen, and would have to run an extension cord. If I were going to utilize this all the time, I'd have a connection installed in my kitchen. However, I'm lucky...all I have to do is bat my eyelashes at my Honey--and it's a done deal!! Grin.
Many use the crockpot while moving to another location, so when they get there, a great home cooked meal is ready and waiting for them. They put the crockpot in the sink while tooling off down the road.
You will still have to run the generator some to recharge your RV batteries, but it wouldn't be a steady 8 hours.
I have only used an inverter to run a TV and a fan overnight when we boondock at a Wal-mart parking lot when we are going from point A to point B on a trip.
I hope someone posts to give you more personal feedback on their inverter crockpot cooking, as I can only give theories.
Where will you be workamping this summer? How long will you be there? Do post and tell us more, I for one am interested!
Have a wonderful RVing day!!
Joella
