Finding water while boon docking
Our hardest problem in boondocking is finding water. Our set up has 50 gallons of water and we can live probably 10 days on that. We have typically done a campground when we need to dump/get water....

I have not hesitated to ask a farmer if I could pay a few bucks to fill up my FW tank from his hose, assuming the water was potable. However, I live in Texas, so things might be different.
I have also bought a bunch of five gallon water containers, put them as best as I could between the rear axles of my TT on the floor of my camper, which luckily was where the dinette is, so I just shoved them underneath that on a rubber mat, and they stayed put.
I'm not sure what your rig is, but for me, additional water isn't too tough. I just toss containers into my truck's bed or in my rig. When moving to a motorhome, I'm considering an open-frame trailer as another place to put additional things like water containers, fuel cans, and so on.
