The Travel Berkey

One reason Hubs and I wanted to get this particular floorplan in Wandering Wanda (Winnebago Adventurer 27N) was the amount of counter space and the fairly unique L shaped counter. We discovered on one of our trips that taking bottled water with us took up way too much storage space. When one of the vendors that we have purchased from in the past put up the Travel Berkey water filter/purifier system ON SALE, I knew the time was right to purchase one. These things don't go on sale often, and I got it cheaper from the vendor, TechnoRV, than on Amazon.com.*

Our counter space is rather unique in that the part of the counter with the sink does not move, instead the slide comes in and covers one of the double sinks, leaving the other sink available. In the past I've put our coffee pot in the sink to keep it safe while on the road. I learned the hard way, not to depend on my bungee cord setup. Now, I have room under the sink for the coffee pot and the remaining available sink carries the Berkey.

Travel Berkey comes with two filters that will filter 6,000 to 8,000 gallons of water. Better yet, when not in use for short periods of time, I can remove the wet filters, place them in a plastic bag and store them in the fridge for a few weeks at a time. For longer periods, they get dried out and stored in plastic bags until needed again.

Since our two earlier trips in 2019 in our Class C Dynamax required us to (a) carry a lot of water and (b) purchase more water along the way, we were glad to have this "appliance" with us on our last trip which was a 20 day trip up to the Hershey RV show where we purchased Wanda, up to Buffalo, New York area and over to Syracuse where we took delivery of Wanda and then home again. Travel Berkey holds 1.5 gallons, and we travel with our dog and cat. We also have a whole rig water filter and can add an exterior filter if we feel it is necessary.



*Other than being a customer, I have no connection to TechnoRV, Berkey Filters or Amazon.
