As for replenishing fresh water when none at the site, we also have a three of those 5 gallon jugs. We put them on top of a stove stand next to the pod, and syphon them into the holding tank. Hope that helps, it is easy.

I can't disagree with you on that, especially with having the kiddo's. We feel like we are living in luxury moving from a tent, to a pop-up (for 20 yrs.) and now the pod. The majority of our camping is done spring or fall when the outdoor weather tends to be 'cooler.' The pod is really cozy on those rainy/sleety/snowy times when the temps are cold, and it's warm from corner to corner inside! Sure don't miss those days of wet canvas and huddling by the furnace because anywhere near the canvas and it was cold/breezy. AND with that having an indoor stool/shower is really nice AND not having to heat water on the stove, hmmm. remember those 'good old' days, not.

In the navy we called that a sea-shower while at sea (dry camping). When in port and hooked up to fresh water (RV park) we got to take a Hollywood shower. |

I guess I don't understand what you're attempting to do. If you don't ever want to use the dump station, they don't use water/waster in the R-Pod. What am I missing?

This_is_nascar: Just inexperienced. I thought if there was a way to run the grey water into the black water tank, that maybe I could stay at the campsite longer without having to move pod back to dump station. Now I have found out about that tote thing on wheels, that can do what I was hoping to do. We newbies have much to learn, and we are learning it on this forum. By the way, you are one the helpful ones, for which I am thankful.

When I was deployed, I could shower with 2 bottles of water. When I'm RVing...no way! I didn't pay lots of $$ to skimp out. I think I've earned the right to use more than my combat showers.

Be careful in deciding on those totes. At 1st, you may think bigger is better, but if you're taking that to the dump-station by hand, it will be heavy. Water weighs 8.35 lbs per gallon. Getting a 35-gallon tote that makes sense on the surface, will be a back breaker if you're pulling that by hand.

Thanks for the good advice Ray. My wife & I prefer simple, a lot of that has to do with available space. The Explorer doesn't have a lot of extra room to haul stuff like any pick-up. We don't like to carry everything with us when we camp, it's freeing to take the 'essentials' and go. When we started camping years ago we noticed that over half the 'stuff' we brought was unnecessary, so we have learned over the years what to bring, and what to leave home. Certainly that will be different for everyone, but that is what works for us. When our tank had to be dumped (in Glacier) I just put up the 4 jacks, hooked up, and left, leaving my wife in a chair at the campsite soaking up all that delicious sun. By the time I got back, unhooked, and put the jacks down, only 16 minutes had elapsed-from beginning - hooking it up to being back in the state it was originally. (my wife timed me hehehehe). For me, a tote isn't a necessity, but for others, obviously, it is.
