While traveling in our RV instead of always stopping at places to hook up to water, electric and sewer, we dry camp. We save money and think of environmental concerns. Our unit is self-contained and made for this specific purpose. Our RV has all the comforts of upholstered sofas, full kitchen and bathroom and a king size bed along with the basics of heat, lights and indoor plumbing.
Along with comfort though, the storage tanks for propane, fresh water, gray water (used bath and sink water) and black water (sewer) have limited capacity. We take extra care to monitor or use and stay in campgrounds once every week to empty, refill and do laundry.
The benefit we enjoy is the variety of backyards in the mountains, near lakes and rivers, in forests and in RV parks within city limits for the urban vibe enjoyed mostly by loft/high-end apartment dwellers.
A better awareness of how our choices affect the environment helps us be more careful. Critical effort breaks the use-withou-consequences mentality.
