still need to check all the requirements for your area just comforts different views between self and non-self complete vehicles some campsites will only about self-contained vehicles to campus menu month three one and A one for larger pounds or 50 check out calculate rules at your local I sides were either on council made up and make sure you use your DRC Booker to check all the rules and regulation from every campsite place in towns and cities such as harbors also have coppers which are available to 70 vehicles only if you park overnight however they usually have a limit of one two maximum three nights state some comfort self not accessible by stake heavy vehicles of so bear this in mind when you make your choice why are non self-contained vehicles also work that quite negatively non self contained cancers are sometimes seen by the locals in quite a negative light use the ignorant actions of the few who wrongly abuse the system the local is sometimes completely ignore the fact that not all non encounters are actually like that a few people unfortunately do leave litter and human waste out in the open they like to party and drink can be loud and disruptive this sometimes leads to local inappropriately referring to all marketing vehicles as crap events it is very ignorant of these people to refer to all marketing vehicles with crap pants and you should definitely not be deterred by this we followed all the freedom covering boards within our non self-contained vehicle and we never once had a problem or deserve anyone for more information on this don't check out our three videos on his freedom camping safe and legal and also can you come to the restaurant do not say in large groups of freedom characters and make sure you leave your size exactly how you found it what's the result is a little matter long self-contained or not a non self shipping vehicle could pretty much encompass anything from a car or a station wagon all the way up to a camera bag however without certain stitches it cannot be classified or proof of a service vehicle if your vehicle has certain features then we could be eligible to contact 8uc residences for them to come and inspect your vehicle if you vehicle passes it will receive a certificate and a sticker the website where you can telecheck all the specifications and how to convert your region as you see represented are linked down below the requirements which you will need to fulfill are at whole a fresh water on supply of three liters per person per day for three days which means needs 12 liters per person a fitted sink which is filled and connected to a great water can still no water can fill out a great length of capacity of 4 liters per person per day for three days which again means you need 12 visits per person if the capacity of the gray water tank is less than a special time then you will need to install a monitor to monitor the quantity which is course will cost more a toilet which can hold one liter of waste per person per day for three days which again you have three days of grass seeds per person and evacuation hose of three meters or long enough to connect to a field portable tank and a field bin of no specified capacity these allow for your waste because with the new vehicle hence it preceded that you'll have less of a harmful impact on the environment it is for this reason the being second page gives you more options in terms of campsite the end up locations to camp how it is go to the toilet and on self-contained vehicle there's a certain thing during travel toilet is extremely easy I shouldn't have to explain it to you yes I do if you are not within range of a public toilet and you absolutely have to go whilst you're in the wild then these are the sets that you must follow so before you set off make sure that you take some tissues and a plastic bag or two with you then you go out into the woods and bushes far away from any visible paths to make sure you're completely out of sight then you simply dig yourself a hole do your business and cover the hole up so there was no evidence that you'd be met make sure that you put the tissues that you've used inside plastic bag with you took along with you and take this away with you and throw it away in the bin the first chance that you get do not leave your tissues all your ways open and visible to everyone animals have absolutely no problem covering this up so you can do it too well why doesn't it is in a serpentine vehicle you have the luxury of being able to do your business in your camper van however then you have a disadvantage of having to find a dump station in order to enter your toilet if it happens early told is full and there is no dump station anywhere near you you will have to go in the wild as well so please do follow the instructions we mentioned previously this is for something big or cost more usually yes the cost of the actual inspection and the certificate is actually not that much usually around 250 New Zealand Dollars but you are paying for the installation of all the requirements and accessibility of the data self-contained vehicle gifts what is it like to live the self-contained or consultant is variable ETA okay if you have a converted car account Obama as a non self-contained vehicle so these are usually smaller than a self-contained Christmas however there's plenty enough room in size for a full length mattress storage facilities cooking equipment and many other things we lived full-time for four months in our lungs out using car and it's actually surprising how much space there was inside once we learn to utilize it finding toilets wasn't really difficult and we had our bin and water tank inside we didn't find that our long-term contain vehicle where they compromised in any way if assessment a vehicle is still just a converted car rather than a van or in milk at home in the chances are there won't be a lot of space inside gives you all the requirements that it has to fulfill however larger vehicles often facility to sink in toilet better so bear this in mind when you choose it it might turn out that a more spacious they will get it out north or contain vehicle it's better option for you if you can't afford a proper self contained vehicle as you ever chance or traveled in a non self-contained or self-contained vehicle before
