Adding an additional 600 to 800 pounds to haul water, that I can get at my destination is to me absurd! I would rather haul something important, like Beer?
"Absurd"....I don't think so, I've gotten to my campsite and had no water before...campground issue. I've also been stuck on the interstate for hours. I like at least 1/2 tank for comfort :)
And just how do you use that water when you are stuck on the interstate? The weight police here worry about the weight of a hitch, but go right ahead and fill your water tank, never know when a campground is going to run out of water! As for dry camping, there are many places you can stop at to fill your fresh water tank, when you get close to your destination last time I checked, water is not rationed here!
Stopping for water along the way would be a hassle and a waste of time, and not practical most of the places we camp. Filling up at home is not a hassle and takes little time. It seems like a no brainer to load up the tank before leaving home.
