First TT for Drycamping
The DH and I are hoping to replace our 40 year old PUP in the spring with a TT. The PUP is still in excellent condition for her age but seems we have to repair something after every trip lately. Plus we're hoping to cut down on set-up/tear-down time.
I've been lurking the forums for a while and we're starting to do our research and visit dealers to figure out what we like/don't like and what will fit within our weight requirements. We will most likely purchase something in the 18-20 ft range.
The majority of our camping is done in state/nat'l forest campgrounds with the occasional boondocking trip and maybe once a year at a campground with electricity.
Are there any special considerations we should take into account when purchasing? Since we're used to not having running water, lights, AC, etc., I imagine we can be pretty conservative. One of the salespeople said that most people run out of water before they run out of battery power. Is it possible to re-fill the fresh water tank from a jug?
What do you recommend for emptying the holding tanks after a dry camping trip? Visit a state park and use their pump station?
Any and all advice for dry camping will be appreciated.
