Can you please explain best way to use this airstream for camping if there are no tanks?

I like the layout and look of this model but cant imagine how to make it work for regular camping.

I know my plan was to be staying in campgrounds in general but I wanted flexibility to boondock without ANY connections. Please advise.

Pretzel,

This is common for vintage models. It has a black tank and fresh water. Many new owners just add a gray water tank or use a portable blue boy for gray water.

No Airsrreams were ever built with a black tank, but no fresh tank. Back in the 1950s and early 1960s before black tanks became standard, most if not all Airstreams had fresh tanks, so a fresh tank without a black tank is certainly possible, but not the other way around, unless modified by a previous owner.
