Overnight Stop
In time you will develop a knack for spotting wonderful
little roadside locations by turning off the main highway
and exploring� There are many modern recreational
vehicle parks, including State, County, and Federal
parks with good facilities, where you may obtain
electrical, water, and sewer hookups and connections�
Directories are published which describe in detail these
parks and tell what is available in the way of services
and hookups�
All you need to do to enjoy the self-contained luxury
while boondocking is to:
1� Turn on the Battery Power pushbutton (battery
disconnect switch) to provide power to your
components�
2� Inverter will need to be turned on to power the
entertainment devices� To conserve battery power,
turn off the inverter when not in use�
3� Turn on the water pump and open faucets until air
is expelled from the system�
Before moving on, turn off the water pump and the
heating/hot water system� Check your campsite,
both for cleanliness and to be sure you have not left
anything behind� Make sure everything is properly
stowed�
Overnight or Weekend Trips
On overnight or weekend trips, chances are you will
not use up the capacity of the holding tanks� Deplete
the water supply, if using the system moderately or
conservatively� You will need to maintain the level of
your battery during longer periods of battery use, and
when the State-of-Charge (SOC) is low. The battery
management shuts down the Volta System if the Flex
Pack reaches a very low voltage limit of 0% SOC�
