Clean water and power
Along with our decision to go “glamping”, we are busily augmenting the supplies, in a technical sense. With a nylon tent, the ability to accessorize is limited. No sense putting hard walls on a soft wall shelter. With our new mobile land yacht (that’s from my point of view, OK?) there are so many more possibilities.
This thing has an on-board water supply. Any idea how much it takes to “feed” that habit? Let me list what we’ve purchased, so far. There’s a 50-ft water hose, with a pressure compensation valve, and a carbon particle filter, and a flexible attach point and an optional filler spout (for the times when we forego a faucet in a campground and fill the 20 gallon water tank. I know; water is heavy, and we should only fill it up in times of drought. Of course, an unfilled water tank can gather the yuck factor, quickly, so I’m getting set to mix up a witches brew of bleach and water, to be applied for a four hour period before trying to drain things out completely. There are, of course, multiple valves to find (they’re hidden inside furniture, apparently).
As well, we can tap into available electrical current, but that requires realizing that not all power sources are “clean”. I now own a huge surge suppressor and power line filter, with the necessary high current fittings. Another “dog bone” to store with the two already on hand.
Water runs better when things are level. We now have a “neat and tidy” bag of levelling blocks, and a pair of bubble levels to tell what my inner ear can’t. I can see hours of jockeying ahead.
