Only in a few places will your trailer ever be hooked up to electricity or water from a hose. For lights you can use a butane light or buy kerosene oil lamps in Mexico, or use a Coleman kerosene or gasoline lantern, or you can use your car battery by changing your present light bulbs to 12-volt bulbs. There is plenty of butane in Mexico. Ice will oftentimes be available , but we cannot guarantee it at every stop. A gas refrigerator is obviously best under these conditions. Some method must be found for handling water for both drinking and washing. Some of us use a pressure water system, some a water tank and pump, and some carry their water in milk cans, army water cans or similar containers. - Wally Byam from the 1957 Caravan to Mexico instructions
Camping without the need to be hooked up to water, electricity, or sewer connections is one of the greatest advantages of trailer travel. Not only does it significantly increase the possibilities for finding a great campsite it means you are able to do so and still have all the comforts of home.
Dry camping can be just a day or two to an extend stay of a week, a month or more. It can also enable you to travel in places where facilities are hard to find. The longer your stay or trip the more planning you will need to do.
