I calculate 12 liters of water per day for the two of us. For everything: drinking, showering, rinsing or whatever else you do. We manage well with that. Of course it always depends on the local conditions, at the sea or at a lake we need less. Attention: Keep an eye on your water level indicators. This way you not only get a feeling for your consumption, but also for your route planning. Because it's pretty stupid if you've just soaped yourself up in the shower and the water is empty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We fill our water tanks via hose, which we screw onto a water tap with a screw thread. The right adapters are important. The Gardena system has proven itself, which also fits on the Alb filter. Inform yourself beforehand, which adapters you need for your travel destination and \/ or take a universal faucet adapter for connecting the Gardena hose to a faucet without thread, called water thief for short. These are very practical, because in the mountains of Sicily there is wonderful spring water, but no screw thread, but the water flows steadily from a pipe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ich h\u00f6re immer wieder &#8222;Wassertank mit Gie\u00dfkanne f\u00fcllen&#8220;, aber das ist uns zu m\u00fchsam bzw. bei unseren Aussenwassertanks auch nicht m\u00f6glich.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just in case, we also have a Gardena\u00a0<span class=\"a-size-large product-title-word-break\">Drill pump with it. In conjunction with the Alb filter, as well as a cordless screwdriver*, we can pump water directly from a lake. *Yes, this is also on board.

I am always surprised how little dishwashing liquid I need. In the sea or lake I rinse without detergent. On the one hand, of course, for the sake of the environment. But on the other hand also because it works very well without detergent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tip: When washing up in the sea and lake, always make sure you don't forget anything. Marc once rinsed in the sea at dusk and forgot a g\u00fcdemesser and the lid of our pressure cooker there. We didn't notice it until 2 days later at the next spot and had to go back. Because a pressure cooker without a lid is useless. Thank goodness the stuff was still there. However, it has not done the lid so really good 2 days in the sea to lie.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If I really need dishwashing liquid, I use the biodegradable one from Ecover. For personal hygiene, we take biodegradable shampoo, shower gel and hand soap from Sea to Summit.

This we can not only turn in all directions, but also fix in different places by click-fix on the kitchen block. From the outside, I can then operate the faucet by foot pedal. What I consider completely superfluous is the sink. We absolutely never use that.

Retrofitting was too costly for us. A good solution is the \"Helio Pressure Shower\" from Nemo with 22 liters capacity. The water tank actually stands on the ground and is operated with a practical foot pump. This is how pressure is built up. The annoying search for a suitable branch is simply saved. However, the water does not get any warmer as a result. But so one showers also faster and saves water :-). It has proven to heat the water briefly. In our current SpaceCamper we have a shower under the tailgate with hot water - pure luxury. There is also a shower tent hidden in the tailgate.
