I'm planning on buying a used travel trailer to live in for 2 years. I'm running into the term "self contained" or "not self contained" in ads- What is the difference? Thanks-

Self contained has tanks for clean water, grey water, black water, and propane. They also have generators so you can have power without being plugged in. You can go camp in the woods without benefit of electrical, water, or sewer hookups.

Self contained means it has cooking and bathroom facilities. One that was not self contained, means you would at least have to have toileting facilities nearby. If you want to live in this for 2 years you WANT one that is self contained.
