Hey guys newb here. Wife and I are planning our first trip with our Travel Trailer over the 4th. We are going to Hardy Lake in Southern Indiana. She's never been but my grandparents went all the time ...

The RV dealer we bought the TT from (our first one) told us to never travel with water in the fresh water tanks. Talking about how much weight 1 gallon of water adds. Could be wrong I don't know. LOL
Wow, I hate the word "never".
Yeah, a full tank is a big chunk of weight if you are going to have hookups right there, so it's not crazy to avoid traveling with full tanks.
But yeah, most folks carry a little water for use enroute and it's extremely common to go dry camping where you fill up the tanks at the house and take off.
Water weighs about 8 lb / gallon...so 20 gallons of water is roughly one person and I don't think your RV dealer said "never travel with your wife due to the fact she weighs about 8 lb/gallon."
