 Indirect rainwater (suitable for non-potable uses) can be collected in large quantities off awnings and similar structures.  Watch your van during rain to see where the water collects.

+Water collected from open running sources should be assumed to be biogically infected;  see purification steps above.
+Since water seeks lowest spots you might be able to see a source but not access it directly.  A sierra cup or other receptacle can be strapped to a walking stick, bucket lowered on a rope, etc. Drill-powered pumps can help collect bucketfuls of water from shallow sources.
