You haven't mentioned anything about your holding tank capacities. Will they be a problem?

Fresh water capacity and holding tank capacities are usually the limiting factor. Whatever capacity that is "enough", also weighs a lot. At 8.33# per gallon, it adds up fast.

May likely be indicative of my lack of experience, but I'm not overly concerned with having to "pony up" a discharge fee and haul such a small unit (<19 feet) 15-30 minutes out (while the family makes lunch) to a nearby campground or state park facility. In western PA, we've got them "all over".

Not the same problem as running out of gray water space in a very (truly) rural area. Kind of spoiled around here...but also kind of sad that we don't have real, "wild" areas.

I have a few 5 gallon water jerry cans too...I wasn't that concerned with drinking/gray/black tanks...but should I be? :)

Thanks!

When boondocking out west, your water capacity is usually your limiting factor. I had no idea how much water capacity that trailer has, so I looked it up. It appears that it has 36 gallons of fresh water and 30/30 gallons of black/gray capacity. If that is correct, that is real good for that small of trailer.

Thanks for looking into it...that's what I thought, too. Some of the comparable "mini" TTs have fresh water tanks as low as 13 gallons, which immediately struck me as inadequate in just about any setting.

Thanks again and take care! :)
