A few things to remember if you are thinking about dry camping. Finding a dry campsite is the first step. It is not always simple, especially if this is your first time. There are many great spots at rest stops along highways, and in national forest. You may even be able to stay for free.
The next step is to decide what to bring. For you to be able stay at your dry campsite it is vital that you keep your water and electricity running smoothly. Some dry campers bring gas powered generators, but this is noisy and consumes fuel. Fortunately, most RVs have a liquid propane system that powers the refrigerator and stove. It is expensive and requires you to know how to install it.
You can also use collapsible bladders for extra fresh water. To collect any waste water, you can use a dishpan made of plastic. You can then dispose of the waste water in a nearby garbage bin. You should also be aware of small brooks when you're walking through a park. These are a wonderful way to enjoy the area's natural beauty.
It is possible to dry camp anywhere. But there are some things to remember. You will need to obtain a permit. If yes, contact the national park or state service. If you are dry camping on public land, check with the Bureau of Land Management. These places permit overnight stays. Some of these places also offer dump stations that allow you to dump your black water tank.
Also, dispersed camping is an option. Some national parks have been made available for dry camping. This is a great option if you want to be close to nature and not have to depend on modern conveniences. For information about weather and parks, you should visit the ranger station. You can also charge your battery with solar panels. You will need some electrical knowledge to set up solar panels in RVs.
Don't forget to fill up your tanks before you leave. It's not worth stopping at a dump to pay a fee. You don't want to put your waste out on the street. You can ask your local store to rent a dumpster if there isn't a dump station at your campground. This is especially important if you intend to stay longer than a couple of days.
It's a good idea for black water tanks to be flushed every time you use them. The black tank fills up slower than the gray and is smaller. A full tank can lead to a toilet not working. Most stores will accept one or two bags. You can drain a larger tank over a longer time period if you have it.
