In this video, we will cover managing water and maintaining an RV's wastewater tanks at partial hookup and no hookup campsites. I’ll share some best practices with water and waste management in these situations. Camping at a partial hookup or no hookup campsite requires different habits compared to full hookup campsites.

Good sound advice for all of us! One thing I could add: when washing dishes, we heat our hot water for dishwashing on the stove in a pan. This eliminates wasted cold water initially running through the hot water lines at the kitchen sink. I really like your idea of catching the cold water at the shower while waiting for the hot water to reach the shower head!

All great information for the newbies. Only thing I do different with my Casita . After boon docking I put in a port to allow me to actually wipe and dry out my water holding tank . Thanks for sharing John !😁👍

Please tell us how to do that

@@carolmaplesden916 Buy a white plastic screw type boat port 5” . Also food grade silicone. And short SS screws . I found it easier to use a small wood burner pencil and I melted a circle in the plastic. You just have to go slow . Just make sure you cut the hole smaller to allow for the flange to put screws into the plastic. Then you can wipe out tank from top and algae won’t grow . Hope this helps.😁👍

Good tips, John. We love no hookup campgrounds, because they are usually quieter and less traffic. We have our R-Pod set up to go a 5-6 days without running out of power or tank space. We usually have to add 5-10 gallons of water to the freshwater tank during the stay after initial fill up. These tips will help.

As always great video, great info. I see you have Star Link. Is it as awesome as youtubers say it is? It appears they push that is is the end all, save all of connection.

It has been a game-changer for me. Exceptionally fast if you have a clear view of the sky.

Thank you for sharing your experience! How about your Toyota Tundra so far? Are you planning to replace it for a new one already?

@JohnMarucci 10 ай бұрын

The Tundra is working well at six plus years and only 45k miles. No plans to upgrade.

Hello sir. What nozzle adaptor do you use for your Scepter water container, to be able to pour it in your RV? I can’t seem to find one that fits the threads correctly.

@JohnMarucci 10 ай бұрын

The water container has an attachable nozzle. I can put it directly into my fresh water tank via the capped (unthreaded) inlet. The nozzle comes with the unit.

Great Video John! I have a 2013 Jayco 284BHE and I am fortunate that my water heater is less than 15 inches of the Tub/Shower. Instant hot water. The kitchen sink, well that is a different story, like 15 feet away. Back when we did a lot of dry camping the wife started using vinegar and water in a spray bottle to wash each dish. This kept the water usage down considerably, paper towel usage up some what. Fast forward to now... we mostly use paper plates.

Thanks for sharing. Good tips and good point about the location of your hot water tank determining the timing of when you can get hot water to the sink or shower. All the best!

We take navy showers and use the tolit facility and wash stations when possible. Also, keep a couple of gallons of water on hand. Always enjoy your informative expertise. 😊 TY

Thanks for another well done video. We follow the suggestions but are a little frustrated by the tankless water in our new trailer. It seems it must have high flow through the shower head to work, and turns cold when paused. We keep a bucket for the wasted water to pour into the black tank. For limited hookups, I think I prefer a tank type water heater, and may switch to one soon.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I hadn't thought about how a tankless hot water heater would effect things, but it makes sense. Thanks again!
