Water

When required- I've asked at servos when I fuel up..and haven't been knocked back yet !!!

Hi,

Depends on how your water supply is configured...do you have 2 separate tanks (potable and non-potable).
If so its easy to always find a non-potable supply but sometimes harder to find potable.
If camping near a freshwater creek you can fill the non-potable from creek using a small 12V pump and battery or you can also get a small pump that can be attached to electric drill.
Many free camping sites have non-potable water as well.
Every town has a small park with a tap...always carry a long hose as you may need to park a distance from tap.
Virtually every town haspublic toilets with a tap...a long hose is also handy.
Our potable tank will last 3 to 4 weeks (only used for cooking).
But our non-potable only lasts 3 to 4 days...but there are a lot more places to fill from.
Always ask permission to fill if there is anyone to ask.
Cheers

Hi Toyota

We need fuel more often than water top ups, so can usually fill at servos. I always ask first before committing to the fuel purchase as sometimes they cannot oblige, the tap may be in a place that parking a caravan would block the traffic flow to the pumps, or it may not be suitable for fitting our hose to it.

Because i keep things simple we don't have filters, so if supplementing water from a river or lake and it is not top quality, we use it direct from the drawing bucket after allowing any sediment to settle and save out tank water for drinking.

We carry 2 x 20L containers for when access to a tap is difficult. Tourist information centres are handy spots to fill up, but we always ask.
