Vintage RV upgrades
Hey everyone! I’m back with more questions. Recently purchased a 1977 dodge Sportsman RV. 43k original miles, in excellent shape for its age. All appliances in working condition. Picked it up for $750...

I did not know that, it’s good info to have. A little generator will definitely make its way on the rig eventually.
I was actually surprised by how long the battery and propane lasted. While I have very little to power, what I do have was easily managed by a 95AH battery.
What I wasn’t impressed with, was water storage and disposal. The potable water tank is reasonably sized, but not enough to maintain our needs for more than a few days. We weren’t even drinking the water just using it for hand washing and dishes, we brought other water to drink. The grey water tank must be tiny, it fills very quickly. Fortunately we use biodegradable eco friendly soaps, so I just dumped the grey water at the camp site, which was the middle of the mountains lol.. might be frowned upon, but had to do what we had to do. The septic tank is equally as small. Even with me peeing in the woods, the tank fills up pretty quick between my wife and I using it. Going to be some learning curves when we decide to go out for a couple weeks at a time!
