[QUOTE="parrothead64, post: 54046835, member: 371622] you need a bucket or jug for water, no waste tank on board. It does have a fresh water tank if you don't have hookups, but I nevere used ours. It was basically what you are describing.
I'm not tired to new or used.
Could you explain the above a little more. What's a waste tank? Fresh water tank? Hookups? What happens to water, say, in the sink if you need a bucket for dirty water?[/QUOTE]
So, stuff from the toilet is black water and everything else (shower, sinks) is gray water. Our MH has tanks for both of those, so if you're camping without sewer hookup, you can still use everything and just take it by a dump station on the way out. Our pop-up didn't have a bathroom so no need for a black water tank. There was no gray water tank either, so if we were at a site with sewer hookup, we just drained the sink into that. I think in the old days people just drained gray water onto the ground, but that is not allowed in most states anymore. If we didn't have sewer hookups, we used a portable gray water tank. We did have a small fresh water tank with a water pump, but I don't think we ever used it. With that, you can camp somewhere without a water hookup and still get water from the sink.
Hopefully that makes sense? Rereading your questions - hookups are any combo of water, sewer, electric that the campground offers. When you see "full hookups" it usually means all 3, sometimes I think cable is included in full. Water hookup allows you to get water into your camper and sewer hookups allow you to drain stuff out. Water will be a faucet that you hook your specially designated fresh water hose to (we always put a water filter on as well). Sewer will be a pipe sticking up or a small hole in the ground. We've been to places where it was hard to find. Usually sewer hoses are bigger than regular water hoses, but our popup only took water hose size for the gray water drain, and then we had to use like a donut type fitting to make it fit in the sewer pipe.
Hope this helps. I grew up camping, but was never involved in anything but going to the campground and having fun, so I got several RVing books when we started it. There are some good ones out there.
