Filling fresh water tank
Simple question for a newbie. Other then continually checking the gauge, what is another way to know that the tank is completely full?

My fresh tank is supposed to be 68 gallons. I have NEVER needed that much water in the tank since we haven't dry camped (yet).
I usually travel with about 10-15 gallons in case we need to make a roadside pit stop / repair / clean up ....
Like others have said WATER = WEIGHT
In this case less is better.
Traveling with 15 or 20 gallons of water is one of the worse things that you can do. Either fill the tank or travel with 5 gallons of water or less. With 15 to 20 gallons of water, you have 75 to 100 pounds of weight slamming side to side and front to back. Really hard on a plastic tank and flimsy hold down screws. A full tank is stable and 5 gallons or less is not enough weight to do any harm.
