Hi all.
I was wandering if anyone here would be kind enough to give me some advice.
I have been given a caravan, i have somewhere to keep it (a field) and i am planning to live in it. I will be completely off the grid. I’m not entirely sure about the cheapest and most efficient way to do this.
Firstly, is there a device that can connect both a solar panel AND a petrol generator to the leisure battery? If so what would this device be called and where can i find one?
Secondly, i do not have access to clean water although there is a river nearby. What would be the best way to filter/purify this water? The caravan has a built in filter and there are purification tablets available but i have no idea is this will be enough. It would also be great if there was is a way of recycling the grey water. I guess i could build some kind of DIY filter using gravel, sand and activated carbon, and filter the water as it leaves the waste water pipe. Then have this going directly to another wastemaster (with some purification tablets) which then gets pumped back in to the caravan. Obviously i don’t want to get sick and so i would greatly appreciate your advice.
Please forgive my ignorance on the subject. It’s all a bit new to me and it’s hard to do any proper research without an internet connection. Thanks
