Great rainwater harvesting calculator HERE

To keep this on topic... when you need to park a bus, a place with water is always nice

Anyhoo.... if rainwater harvesting is something you're interested in, here's a link to a promising resource. Downloadable excel spreadsheet from Texas A&M is included on this site:

Thanks for this, we're building a system for our "home base" right now.

Sweet! Is that your entire collection surface there in the pic? Do you have or will you be adding more?

That's the primary collection surface. Its a 14x36 shed we'll be building out as a common building, we'll be adding a carport and another storage shed we'll collect off of. A pair of IBCs will act as stone/sand filters into the main tanks.



Storage is currently in place but the roof is not yet hooked up.



The land we are developing has 3 RV spots with full hookup, as well as room for 2 more full sized rigs with the double-wide driveway. The common building will have laundry, a basic kitchen/ bathroom, and be a solar hub for 12,000W to 30,000W of PV to allow the rigs to plug in yet remain off grid.
