Hello,
I figure that these questions are very basic common knowledge to those involved in the RV lifestyle, but some advice would be very helpful as I am brand new to the motorhome lifestyle.
1. I am confused about the way that water works in an RV. Is there a way to hook up water from a home that is 100 ft away? Are there water tanks or does the water need a hook up? How does waste work? I've read about grey and black water tanks. How often do they need to be emptied? Where can I empty them.
2. As far as electric goes, the woods where I plan to park and live most of the time have an electric hookup. Is this enough to run the appliances? How do I heat and cool the RV? What do I need to do in the winter?
3. Do I need a propane tank to run the stove? I am new to anything electric, and am not sure what I am getting myself into.
I really appreciate the help. If you have any suggestions on which brands of motorhomes are the best for my use- mostly parked but I would like to be able to move it occassionaly that would be amazing.
Thank you so much for your information, I am pretty overwhelmed as to where to start looking, but I would like to make an informed purchase as soon as possible.
