3 states in 4 hours

This morning we woke up in Florida, at noon we washed our clothes in a laundromat in Alabama and here we are in Mississippi for the night, continuing to Louisiana in the morning.
In between we didn't do anything too exciting but schooling, massaging Aviv's feet as part of her birthday present
and taking pictures of hookups for educational purposes.
Electric hookup - connects campground 30amps power to the rv. Used for lights, oven, and outlets. When there's no electric hkp, we turn on the rv noisy generator or use a battery for lights.
Water hookup - connects tap water to the rv's water system (aka city water). When there's no city water, we use water from the rv water tank (60 gallon), using an electric water pump.
Sewer hookup - connects the gray water (sinks and shower) and black water (well, you know...) tanks to the campground sewer system. When there's no sewer hkp, the water stays in the holding tank and we dump it in a dump station. This is Dafi's favorite job!&*#
This control panel helps us to see how we're doing with the different parameters.
Some campgrounds have all 3 hookups and others have only part of them or none. When there are no hookups, it's called "dry camping". We "dry camp" a lot of nights in Wal Mart parking areas.
This was a brief technical review for beginners. Further information will be provided upon request.
