Whenever you are on the road camping with your travel trailer, you need to have a supply of tools and spare parts to fix problems you may encounter along the way. While some problems may be minor and can wait until your next major stop to be fixed, when the refrigerator stops working, you will want to get it fixed so you don`t lose all of your food. Refrigerators in travel trailers usually work on electrical power while at the campsite, then run on propane when in transit.
Dispose of Travel Trailer Sewage
If your recreational vehicle or travel trailer has a self-contained bathroom, then it has holding tanks for the sewage. They must be emptied when they become full. Most travel trailers have two holding tanks, one for the “black water” that comes from flushing the toilet, and the “gray water” tank that holds the waste water from the kitchen and bathroom sinks. Most camping facilities have sewage hook-ups right at your camp site for your travel trailer, but some camping facilities have a central dumping station where you tow your trailer to dump the sewage.
