RV FEATURE
Whatever you do , never assume you can use any tap you find to fill your water bladder . Always try to get permission and , if in doubt , find another source .
It is also very important to ensure that any water you use is potable . Remember , many places like public parks and cemeteries use recycled water to water their plants and grounds . Again , if you ’ re not sure , move on .
That ’ s probably enough to digest for this issue . Next month , we will look at some of the things you may not have thought about that can also help extend your freecamping experience .
In the meantime , safe travels .
HOT TIP : USE HIGH- POWER APPLIANCES DURING THE DAY . DON ’ T WAIT UNTIL NIGHT .
If you need to use your water pump for showers or cook with an appliance running from an inverter , do it during the day when you have plenty of solar to recharge the batteries . You want to minimise night time power consumption as much as possible .
You can never have enough solar panels when free-camping .
Free-camping certainly has its rewards , such as 1 billion-star accomodation .
