Free Water
Got some trips planned that do not have water fill up ability. Need to fill up before arriving. Dont want to travel 100+ miles or more with 66 gallons of water onboard. Any suggestions where I should...

mine is open at all times, except when I fill up and head out to boondock, once there, I open it and it stays open ..It is a chance you take
Exactly, just like keeping a round in the chamber as long as you don't touch the trigger. Just do it right, not like the many, many folks that are clueless.
The idea that the water loss will stop after a few gallons, that was not what I found. Filled the tank and drove 80 miles with some of it on mountain roads, and had just enough left to take a really quick shower. Water tanks are flat and very shallow, the water can easily slosh up and out the vents.
