Water, Water, Everywhere
...and not a drop to drink (seemingly.)
Ask any experienced RVer or Van Lifer for their worst story of life on the road and you'll often get an answer that involves liquids. Drunken escapades aside, finding fresh water and dumping dirty water while traveling can become a worrisome preoccupation for the new and uninitiated.
Read on for details of fresh water sources, some of the best answers to the call of nature, and additional resources for tackling the heavy weight of water needs while on the road.
The Fresh, The Gray & The Black
How to get the water you need & safely dump the rest*
RWP TIP: Exclude exterior water stations from your search (they're often vandalized and non-working.) Opt instead for Primo and other water stations located inside Walmart and other retailers.
No tanks in your castle on wheels? Don't fret. There are advantages to keeping it simple. Consider the use of a cassette toilet like Porta Potti to store your personal waste until you have an opportunity to empty it. Alternatively, let nature run its course with a well-reviewed composite toilet.
Or go even leaner with a foldable toilet seat and bag if you're already close to a safe and sanitary dumping spot.
Lastly, you can go full caveman. Grab a packable shovel and let the earth recycle that which your body no longer needs.
