Dry camping allows people to travel without much hassle and enjoy the outdoors. It does have its challenges. One, you have to know how to properly dispose of waste. There are many ways you can make sure your dry camping adventure is as green as it can be.
For starters, you must find a place where you can dump your tank. This should be done before you reach your destination. This will save time and effort in the end. To reduce waste, you can wash dishes with a moist rag.
Next is to make sure your RV has enough water. This is a must before you head out on the open road. It's important that you have enough money to last you the night. You can find the specs or manual for your RV to calculate your tank's size.
There are many places where you can find free camping sites such as campgrounds and public parks. You may also want to look into boondocking. This is similar to dry camping but it is usually done on private property with permission. It is often free, but it is a little harder to find a suitable site.
While you are at that, solar power can also be used for charging your batteries. This will let you travel further and not have to rely on the vehicle's battery. Many dry campers use gas-powered generators. This is an option that can provide convenience but is not energy efficient.
A 12-volt waterpump is an excellent option. These pumps are low-energy and suitable for use off-grid. If you have an outdoor cooler, food and drinks can be stored for up to ten consecutive days.
Before you set out on the open road, you should practice what you've learned. This is especially important if you are a new dry camper. Start with shorter trips, then move on to longer ones. It is not a good idea to fill your tanks up and run out. Similarly, you don't want to overfill your grey/black tank.
Last but not least, ensure you have the correct tarp to protect your trip. These are cheap and can be secured using bunget cords. It may be worth considering a solar panel. It is important that you understand how to set it up. This can be intimidating for most people, as they have never done it before.
Also, remember to bring your toothbrush, toothpaste, as well as any other items you will need on the trip. For an emergency, an RV cleaning tool kit should be included. White wine and vinegar can be used to clean your utensils if you don’t have a dishwashing unit. Stains can be removed with a wet cloth.
