Can you fill a water tank at Pilot/FJ or anywhere else?
We're travelling south in February, and our camper is currently winterized. I'd like to de-winterize on the way. Will I be able to fill my fresh water tank anywhere?

- Justin,
Your big issue will be identifying if the water tap along an RV lane at a P/FJ is potable water some are and some are not. Some are there only to be used for the wash-down after a bad dump job.
Most that are not potable will have a sigh that says so. If you are in doubt, ask the people inside. If it is a freeze-Proof self draining hydrant (big hook handle), you really have to ask. You may have to find a tap on the building side, but someone should know. Many sleepers have potable tanks too.
Most MH still have both and atmospheric fill (Open thing), and a way to fill from city water. The atmospheric is usually a faster fill than is the valve from the city water connection.
Good Luck
Matt - I frequently fill my water tank at Flying J as well as dumping my tanks for a nominal fee. Also, some rest areas have dump stations and fresh water available, usually in the South and West.
- Will you be staying at the Flying J overnight? Or will you stay at a campground for 1 night? We would generally try to stay at at least one campground so we can FLUSH all the pink stuff really well, and fill up if need be.
