• If weather does not permit or no outdoor table is available, eat at the dinette table by candlelight.
• Turn off small items that use battery power, such as porch lights, bay lights, engine compartment lights,
etc. Turn off the 12 Volt antenna boost when not viewing the television.
• Monitor battery voltage.
DO NOT
allow batteries to fully discharge (lights dim) before starting the
generator. If possible, run the generator twice a day, morning and afternoon, to charge the batteries.
• Turn off the inverter when not in use.
• Turn on the water heater about twenty minutes before hot water is needed. Once heated, turn it off. Water
will remain hot for several hours.
• Turn on the water pump only when using water.
• Frequently monitor holding tank levels. Careful management of water is critical when dry camping.
Conserve water when showering. Turn water off when soaping then back on to rinse. Take a sponge bath
when water conservation is critical.
DO NOT
fi ll the sink full of water to wash only a few dishes. Use
disposable dishes when possible. Chances are a campground without hookups will also lack showers or
bathrooms and may only be equipped with primitive facilities. However, if it helps to conserve water and
holding tank capacity, use them.
• Leave shoes outdoors or at the entry step to avoid tracking in dirt and using valuble resources for clean up.
BREAKING CAMP
Preparing the motorhome for travel will require several small tasks. Properly securing and storing items will
help to prevent them from getting lost or damaged. Below is a checklist guide to reference when preparing to
break camp.
Outside Checklist:
• Disconnect the cable TV and lower the satellite dish and/or antenna.
• Disconnect and stow the telephone line.
• Retract awnings and secure them for travel.
• Close the primary LP-Gas tank valve and turn off remote LP-Gas switch.
• Connect the sewer hose.
• Drain and fl ush holding tanks. Start by closing the grey water valve. Run enough cold water down the
sink and shower drains to fi ll the grey tank at least 50%. Use caution to avoid overfi lling or fl ooding the
grey tank. Connect a non-potable water hose to the “No-Fuss” hose bib, open the black tank valve, and
allow adequate time for the black tank to drain. Close the black tank valve and open the grey water valve.
Water from the grey tank will help to fl ush the drain hose. Once evacuated, close the grey water valve.
Disconnect the sewer hose and fl ush that hose with clean water from a non-potable hose. Store the hose.
Replace the sewer cap.
