Yesterday I replied to an article about the size and configuration of RV water tanks, but as expected, I was hit again.
My general suggestion in the original answer:
Generally, 1~2 people use it, and a 100~120L water tank is enough. Long-term residence or large population, 150-180 is fine, no matter how big it is, it is not a question of whether you can carry it, it is because you don’t have such a big chassis to install it. The large water tank will definitely take up the storage space. You must know that in the C-type car, if you control the water tank a little, the vacated space can be used as storage space. And if you are only traveling domestically, it is very convenient to add water, there is no need to overdo it…
Article comments are really interesting:
The first reader said that in his 220L water tank, three people had to add water every day, because the wife and children used waste water from bathing. I can only say that I understand, Ms. bath waste water. But I still want to advise this car friend to check whether the water tank is falsely marked. Anyway, that thing is installed under the chassis of the car, what the car seller said. Are you sure you are using a 220 water tank?
What is the concept of 220L? There are 10 barrels of bottled water used at home…
Men’s bathing is simple, do you take a shower, soak in the body wash, rinse, and use a bucket of water?
How long does it take for a lady to take a shower?
In addition, what this reader said was changed to a 350L water tank. I seem to have often heard this from readers recently. Many also said that a certain old car friend has a water tank of 300+. I just heard about it and never encountered it. If it is a C-type car, it can only be said that there is still a chance. After all, there are already C-type cars on the market with a water tank of 300L. How about Longcui Free Wind? pass! If it is a B-type car, I recommend readers who say this to check the conversion between liters and cubic meters first, and then lift the car up to have a look. With the chassis of an ordinary VAN model, how did you do it?
Picture from 21rv
A few days ago, we designed a customized model and discussed the layout with the RV designer. We studied the entire 3D model for two days. It is really doubtful whether the C-type Iveco chassis can hold 350L. In addition, we have to consider the structure of the non-load-bearing body itself. If it is true that the entire chassis is filled with water tanks, the basic storage space is almost occupied, and you probably don’t even think about skirt storage boxes. Is such a setting scientific? If you tell me that it is carrying the car body, such as Chase, and pulling such a heavy hydropower, are you sure it can pull it? Of course, if it’s a crew cut… When I didn’t say it, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…
When answering the question about the water tank at that time, there was another important point that I didn’t mention, the water tank affects the counterweight! You go to look at the drawings of the refitting factory, how are the water tanks generally placed? If there are small factories placed indiscriminately, there are actually potential safety hazards. In addition, I seriously suspect that some cars are suspected of “putting satellites” in terms of water and electricity configuration. Is the yield per mu 10,000 jin? Ha ha! There is no evidence for this, so I dare not talk nonsense, everyone should find evidence for themselves. Two days ago, I seemed to see someone in the group talking about 400L? Well, you are amazing…sorry for delaying your flight…
As for the second reader, the user of the digital ID, it’s a bit of a trick. One bath 100L, 5 buckets of water? wash your hair? Sorry for my lack of knowledge, I can only advise you to save it. There must be a limit for lesbian waste water, right? This is an RV, after all, it’s not a home, so save some money…
There are also other riders who say that their water tanks are about 200 or more, and there is no need for us to discuss whether your number is accurate. Because of this issue, the biggest point of contention is actually problematic. We only discussed the amount of water storage, not the amount of water output!
Taking a shower, what does your shower head look like? We all know that atomizing nozzles save water, and traditional showers waste water. This water output seems to be the key to the problem! If you always feel that one tank of water in the car is not enough for three people to take a shower, please try another water-saving nozzle?
Anyway, my car also has this type of nozzle, which saves water.
Regarding the RV water tank, I still maintain my point of view. For ordinary riders, if you travel domestically, a sufficient amount of 100L~150L is enough. If you really travel with a large family, more than 200 liters is the limit. Try to use sparingly, don’t let the water tank take up the storage space, it’s unscientific. When a family travels, do you have to be happy if there is no place to store your things?
It took half a day to discuss the size and configuration of the water tank of the RV, but I didn’t talk about one point. The water in the water tank on the RV is generally used for bathing and washing, not drinking water. Everyone knows this, right? I recommend that everyone prepare a bucket of clean water in the car. Generally, 20L is enough. If you are afraid of trouble, you can prepare two. 40L is enough for you to wash vegetables and rice. Find a clean water source and fill it up. Generally, the water in restaurants and hotels can be used, but the water in public toilets, parks, and service areas may not be guaranteed to be clean. It is best to ask before adding.
The above, the first caravan, the discussion about the water tank of the caravan is for reference and discussion only.
