Water-Saving Infrastructure
It’s a wise thing to use water judiciously—more so when camping with your RV. If you want to make the most of the available water in your rig, you can consider making specific infrastructure changes. For example, you can get rid of your existing toilet that relies on water for flushing and switch it with a composting or portable toilet. You can also swap it out for a low-flow, water-saving model. Many campers also prefer adding low-flow faucets and showerheads to save water when RVing.
Also, some full-time RVers install rainwater harvesting systems or greywater systems in their rigs, which help them save water and provide them with the peace of mind they deserve on vacations.
In addition, many campers also prefer upgrading their water pump to enjoy better control over their fresh water flow.
Water-Saving Habits
Using water responsibly can go a long way in saving water in your RV. A few essential points you’ll want to consider are:
- Being hyper-conscious about every drop.
- Using disposable plates and designing meals that use less water.
- Cooking for more than one meal at the same time, and preferably in the same utensils.
- Turning off the tap when you’re shaving, brushing your teeth, or washing your hands.
- Showering in the campground-provided shower instead of the shower in your rig.
- Using pre-moistened cleaning towelettes instead of relying on running water.
- Replacing your current toilet with a low-flow model allows you to reduce the amount of water you flush away.
We hope these tips help you save water in your rig so you can enjoy convenient and comfortable outdoor experiences.
