Drainage of sewage from the motorhome – main image

A motorhome, commonly known as a house on wheels, is intended to fulfill similar residential functions. So, in motorhomes, kitchens, toilets and bathrooms are standard. Using them is associated with the formation of impurities - gray water and faeces, the discharge of which is the responsibility of the vehicle users. Fortunately, they have special camping accessories at their disposal, which should be included in every motorhome!

Drainage of "gray water"

Washing dishes after a meal or a morning shower are activities that produce the so-called "gray water". Collected in a dedicated tank, built into the motorhome, it is discharged directly to the sewage grate usually located at the designated place on the campsite or special car parks for motorhomes.

Such parking lots have their respective names: Stellplatz (Germany), Aire de Service (France), Aera di Sosta (Italy), Camperpark , Camperservice ... These places can be found, among others, using the website or application on smartofna: www.campercontact.com

Gray water tanks, due to their large capacity, limit the frequency of waste removal. Remember, however, that the "gray water" tanks must not be emptied in places not intended for this purpose, especially in lakes or directly on the ground. At most campsites, you will find special drainage basins where you can easily empty the filled tanks with sewage.

Portable tourist toilets

Free access to the toilet is one of the basic amenities appreciated by caravanning fans. No wonder that portable and built-in toilets are very popular among motorhome owners. The first - portable ones, are perfect for those motorhomes where the installation of a built-in toilet is not possible due to insufficient space. Manufacturers of camping accessories are constantly improving their products, thanks to which the mobile toilets available on the market provide maximum comfort for their users. Modern toilets have two tanks - one for flushing and the other for waste. These must be removed in the toilets or designated areas on the campsite.

A great advantage of the tanks are the compact size of the device, thanks to which they can be easily stored in the motorhome, and the low weight, which allows them to be conveniently carried. The hermetic method of closing is also important, as it makes it easy to empty the toilet without having contact with the dirt itself. Let's not forget that a portable toilet requires the use of special chemicals. Tablets that are added to the tank dissolve dirt and toilet paper - this one also differs slightly from the one used at home, because it is made of easily dissolving cellulose.

In a motorhome like at home - the necessary accessories
We are more and more willing to leave our homes, embarking on longer and shorter holidays… in houses on wheels! Before the trip, however, it is worth taking care of the appropriate equipment of the camper or caravan , which will provide us with high comfort both on the road and during a stop at the campsite. What accessories for a motorhome to invest in to fully enjoy the charms of a mobile home? We advise!. Traveling with a camper or with a trailer is a guarantee of freedom and independence. Also related to the preparation of meals. The basic element of mobile kitchens are portable refrigerators . Leading manufacturers, including Dometic, offer motorhome users cooling devices of various capacities - from 10 to even 40 liters. The small models can be mounted between the driver and passenger seats, and can also be transported by hand to the camping site. Larger refrigerators, in addition to bottles with cooling drinks on hot days or small snacks, will also accommodate perishable food products. However, portable coolers are different from household coolers. Some of them have as many as 3 power sources - voltage 12 V, voltage 230 V when parked and gas. It is worth remembering that such a refrigerator should always be connected to only one of them. A gas grill can also be a good solution. Vegetable skewers? Baked Potatoes? Or maybe a juicy pork neck? It is possible! The set will be complemented by cutlery and dishes made of durable melamine.
