RE: S&S camper lacks grey tank

“16. Dumping. Do not dump sewage, gray water, or garbage on the ground. This includes motor oil and any other waste products. Federal, state, and county sanitation laws and county ordinances specifically prohibit these practices. Sanitary dump station locations are shown in the LTVA brochure. You must have an LTVA permit for dumping within all LTVA campgrounds.”
Now we will see posted “...a ranger said...”

“I could attach a garden hose to and just drained off the gray water as we generated it.“
Illegal in most areas...harmful to wildlife everywhere. Wouldn’t want to be camper after you.

RE: S&S camper lacks grey tank
Thirty gallons of waste tank volume isn’t bad at all for a single camper. My ’78 Beaver was twenty gallons for two of us. Get conservative with your water use! For instance, use dish water to flush the toilet.

RE: Is this doable or am I overlooking something??
I bought and installed the Noco Iamick mentions. Works well. I set my portable electric heater only for 750 watts however.

Ask NY DMV. The only official answer.

RE: solar
Running a residential fridge in an RV while dry camping takes planning.

RE: solar
Henry, a 100 watt solar panel under ideal conditions will produce 5.6 amps per hour...nominal 12 volts. Solar is great but you can’t do much with one 100 watt panel. You need adequate panels, batteries, a controller and large size wire...all based on an energy survey.

RE: solar
Is your fridge 12 volt or 120 volt? How many amps does the fridge use when running? How efficient is your inverter? How many amp hours will your batteries hold? Are you sure the fridge is all you want the batteries to power? Better approach is to do an energy survey to determine your needs...then times 1.5.

RE: Cab over Camper shell?
They were very popular in the 70s. Not so much now. Beaver made 3 or 4 different models.

RE: Group 27 deep cycle battery + 2000W inverter
A group 27 with how many amp hours fully charged? A 12 volt or120 volt fridge? A full size fridge that uses how many amps when running? If a 120 volt fridge, how efficient is the inverter?

RE: Reservations in California
Some California State Parks are open for day use but none are open for camping. Likewise all National Forests in California are closed to camping. Monterey city and county campgrounds are closed for instance. What the future holds is speculation.

RE: Anyone Installed a Bigger TV?
It’s easy! Measure carefully and get the biggest one that will fit. If you dry camp, compare watts however.
