I've thought of a van hack after washing down the awning - rainwater collection from the awning. It is the most precious resource, after all.
The awning has a natural channel along the lower edge, to which it should be a relatively simple task to attach something to funnel the water into a container, or even direct into the water tank.
When Hay was in Devon last week and it was sheeting with rain, she lowered one leg of the awning and the water naturally ran off the lower end. Some form of guttering is what's needed and, I dare say, there are products on the market already that perform this very function. It only requires a short length of plastic guttering for the lower end, along with a filter and some hose to direct it to the tank.
Before searching for something ready made, I'll try to come up with a cheap bodge.
