Fwd: Re: [RC] LQ or camper? - Mary SutliffWanted to send this privately but email came back. --- Begin Message ---The camper we had before this one was an old 70's model. It did not have a bathroom or a gray/black water tank. The water from the sink went out on the ground or into a bucket. We put a porta potty in the horse trailer once we got to camp. I am really glad to have a bathroom in this new camper! I would not want to be without it. We don't use the shower much because of the limited water capacity of the camper. If we are somewhere with community restrooms we use those and I often dispose of the grey water from the sink by dumping it outside (not letting it go down the drain into the grey water tank). Having that toliet inside the camper is wonderful. We have stretched our time camping without having to refill the water tank or finding a dump station to as long as 6 days. We don't use the camper water for the horses. There is a 30 gallon tank in our horse trailer but mostly we use local water for the horses. To me the camper is a real luxury as we tent camped for years and still do when we pack our horses into the mountains for a week at a time. The frig, stove, oven, furnace and a comfortable bed also make the camper really nice to have. Our present camper in a "light" model. Be sure to check camper weight as they vary a lot. We have a 1 ton Dodge Dually and pull a 4 horse steel trailer and have never had any problems with this setup. Have fun on your camper search.
