Hi,
New 5th wheel owner. Wondering if I need to keep water in the fresh water holding tank for any reason other than, I might need water to drink or flush a toilet in an emergency. But today I struck camp to head home from my first trip out with out new cougar 5th wheel. We were only a few hours drive from how and I was thinking of draining the 60 gallon tank for the drive home.
Is there a reason for priming the water pumps of other that I should or should not completely drain?
Personally, I drained the tank in my now sold Komfort whenever it went into storage. Prior to going out, I'd put a few gallons in for "on the road" use. We tend to go to the same boondock site, so I fill up when we get close to our camp site. With a total of about 9,000 vertical feet to climb, not having to haul 300 extra lbs' weight is nice. If the SHTF, I can always use the 18,000 gallons of water in my pool to pump into my FW, and survive for a while. :B
