We own an RV and usually use facilities in the RV for our hygiene needs. Why do we need your tap?

We also love RVing. Even when RVing we are trying to maximize time we spend outdoors. We cook and eat outside, unless weather keeps us inside the RV. To minimize load on RV facilities and extend time between water filling and dumping waste, we always set up a washstation outside.
