Another note: It's always a good idea to keep water in your fresh water tank when at your camp site. Few years ago we were at a private campground that had their own well and water pump that serviced the entire campground. One night, the pump died and guess what? The entire campground was out of water the entire next day. I'd filled my tank, but was running off the hose then. No problem flipping on the on-board water pump that day. I think we were the ONLY ones in the entire campgorund that had water. Many other folks left and went home. We stayed.
Second day they got the pump fixed after order it from the East Coast somewhere and had it over nighted. Got it hooked up, it ran for one hour. Those that remained in the camp ground filled their tanks, just long enough and the pump died again. It was out for 2 more days!
Lesson learned in my early RV owner ship days! Always fill the fresh water tank, even if your on city water!
Solid advise that I've always used, my father told me to always have a 1/2 tank of freshwater in my travels, just takes a storm or pump failure at a campground to really muck things up. Only had the water go out at one park back in 2011 during one of the big storms we had, we were at the Washington DC KOA for nearly three days with no water or power available from the park and we had a newborn at the time, talk about happy I'd filled up in Hershey!
