Why I love my Berkey Water Filter in my vintage trailer!

When I bought my little vintage camper, I knew I wanted to keep things simple, functional, and beautiful. Space is tight, so every item has to earn its place and my 1.5-liter Berkey water filter has definitely earned a permanent spot on the counter. Not only is it compact enough to fit perfectly in my small kitchen setup, but it also delivers crisp, clean water anywhere I go. Whether I’m parked at a quiet forest site or boondocking on a back road, I never have to rely on questionable campground spigots or plastic bottles.

What sets the Berkey apart for me are its powerful Black Berkey filters. They’re designed to remove bacteria, viruses, chlorine, and even heavy metals—without needing electricity or water pressure. That means I can fill it with water from nearly any source and trust what I’m drinking. For fellow campers and tiny space dwellers, it’s a no-fuss, elegant solution that works just as beautifully as it looks. Plus, the stainless steel design fits right in with the timeless charm of my retro setup. If you’ve been debating whether a Berkey is worth it for your travels, I can say from experience: it absolutely is.

The Berkey is offered in a variety of sizes for use at home and while traveling. I find that the 3.25 Royal works great at home for my small family and the 1.5 liter Travel size would perfect in my vintage trailer. Visit theberkey.com website to view all the models and get your own Berkey!
