Re: [A/S] My first Airstream!
Hi Danagamer ,
Congradulations on your new trailer , I ll do my best with your
questions .
In suppose the codes vary from state to state , but to hook up to a
septic system here , one needs to have an approved system just like
a house . The leach field part might be smaller , as you only have one
bed and one bath . You might look into a portable toilet rental , or a
composting system like a clivus multrum , but you would still need
to dispose of your gray water legally . Its possible to use a portable
tank for that and remove it to a wastewater facility . Or just run it on
the ground if its just a little , once in awhile . Imagine what a tent
camper might do . Use no phosphate soap , and throw it on the
garden . But thats not legal and if I remember Calif codes are strict ,
and you might be in big trouble with the code enforcement officer ,
and best to get off on the right foot with him if you ever want to
build there !
On the electricity problem , two 100 watt panels , two batteries,
one regulator will give you plenty of power for 1500 $ or so . Gas
adds up , and who wants to go to the getaway and listen to a
generator run for hours charging the baterries . A good generator
costs that . And you can always buy more panels when and if you
ever build there .
GO SOLAR ,
