Has anyone managed to collect rainwater from their van for drinking?
Sitting here in the heat with both water tanks reading 0%, I’m wondering whether anyone has found a practical way to collect and use rainwater from a van setup.
Houses can do it with gutters and downpipes, but has anyone adapted something similar for vanlife? For example, collecting runoff from solar panels, a roof rack, or the van roof itself into a tank?
I’m mainly curious about whether it’s realistic for drinking water after filtration/sterilisation, or if it’s only sensible for washing, dishes, or emergency use.
Has anyone tried this? What worked, what didn’t, and what would you do differently? #lifestyle
