Free Camping Tips
As it is so hot in these areas, we have also been looking at water storage issues.
Down south we get a lot more rain than in the north this time of year, so we can not capture rain water as it is not raining, and yes a lot of the rivers are dry, so I can not pump water from the rivers, so that leaves collecting water from town supplies.
The issues has been storaging the empty water containers. These take up allot of the packing space when they are empty.
So we looked at the water bladder idea, but did not have empty spaces on the truck to set up the water bladder.
I was nearly giving up on the idea when I thought, why not empty an area in the canopy to house the water bladder, collect the water, transfer the water into the camper trailer water tanks, then foldup the water bladder and repack the canopy.
Well it seems like a lot of work, but a lot less than packing the camper trailer up to collect the water.
We bought a 200L water bladder and this option seem to be working well, we fill the water tanks and have water for washing as well. I have filled the bladder twice now no lifting to fill or transferring the water to camper trailer.
Now my wife says she can do all the washing she wants. Gay-Maree said she was sceptical about the water bladder at first thinking it would be too much effort, but now loves this idea of collecting water.
