Bumpy, if you are going out dry for a week you better fill it to the brim. If 833# makes a diff you have too much trailer or not enough truck. Mine holds 122 and I fill it to the max every time.
do you have to fill it at home and drive 100/200 miles with that weight or can you just top it off just before you leave civilization.

Depends if there is water available where you are going. I fill up so I don't have to worry about looking for water plus I don't want to stop again :)
And time is money. You don't just "top off" 120 gallons of water. If you try to fill your tanks too fast, they won't vent properly and you'll either puke the water back out or crack a tank. Who wants to stand there with the meth heads at the truck stop filling your tanks when you could have done it at home the night before? - GrumpyGatorExplorer

They already went out of business. Unfortunate because I really liked the look of their new trailers. Apparently they have to sell the new ones as used w/ no factory warranties.

Yes, I misspoke. They are just reviving the name. The cool thing about it is, Nexus is building it like a motorhome instead of a travel trailer. Complete steel frame.
I'm not sure if the weights on the website are correct or not. They are only building the 28 and the 26 right now. The two smaller ones will come later. I spoke with one of their salespeople, but he was at a show this week. Hopefully I'll speak with him again next week. - judelaurenzo25gExplorerRead this!
