Whether you’re a frequent RVer or the most inexperienced novice, it’s likely you’ve heard the term “boondocking.” You may have even done it, out of desire or necessity. Whatever the reason, it’s a fact of RV travel and one that every RVer should understand. Boondocking is a term used to describe RVing without being connected to water, electric, or sewer.

A question that we often get not only about our RV water filters but RV’s in general is, “Why isn’t the water flow rate faster?” It’s truly a million-dollar question, and one which has multiple answers.
