Hello
I am going on my 2nd RV with my New Coachmen 385DS this Thursday. I was reading that travelling with a full tank of fresh water is not advisable. As it increases weight and has a extra cost on fuel.
However, the we are staying onsite at the greensboro coliseum,NC. The site only included electrical hookup, and no water or waste.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on places that you can fill you fresh water before arriving onsite.
Many Thanks
Danny
after a bad experience at a park where the water system was shut down by the public health dept (e-coli) we always travel with full or near full tank of water. the full tank adds about 625-lbs to the overall weight of the MH. configured for travel we weigh in at just over 19,000-lbs. the water represents about 3.2% of the total weight which is negligible in terms of MPG. the first time you run into bad water you'll be happy your tank is full.
