[A/S] Re: My first Airstream!
Hi, I've read all the posts. You have gotten a lot of good advice.
What you didn't say was how much time you are going to spend at the
trailer. How many days at a time. How much power do you really need?
We can be out for two weeks at a time without taking on fresh water
or having to dump. (my rig carries 56 gallons)& 10 more gallons in
jugs goes a long way. There are two of us and it takes conservation.
We catch some of the gray water in plastic milk bottles and use it to
flush the toliet.(recycle)We also have a black water dumper tank so
we can drain off some and take it to an approved dump station. We
find evan just getting rid of 10 gallons translates to a lot of days.
Gray water is less of a problem. I like the solar panel and battery
but also carry a small home built jenny for 12 volt power only. The
sun doesn't shine every day. But most importantly...HAVE FUN... Arnie
