Full Hookups
A campsite that provides all three utility connections: electrical (30 or 50 amp), fresh water, and sewer. Full hookups let you run air conditioning, use unlimited water, and dump waste without moving. They're standard at RV parks and some state/national park campgrounds, but are more expensive than dry camping. With full hookups, even a basic truck camper operates like a small apartment. Not all truck campers can use sewer hookups — some only have portable tanks or composting toilets.
