I wonder what thought has been given to the situation that will likely arise when all the RV and caravanner travellers all dump their 10 - 20 liters per day into the existing...

We have an old 2006 Windsor Genesis and the air con has gone, will cost approx $4000 I think to replace which is way to much for us and the age of the van. Does anyone know anything about the 2 portable air cons I mentioned above, maybe an option?
