Has anyone noticed the new RV's have small fresh water holding tanks?
Nope, any I've owned have been in the 30 - 40 gal range, which works just fine for me. I sanitize and pressurize the trailer's water system at the beginning of the season, it remains that way throughout the season, and I always carry some water in the FW tank so we can use that system anywhere, at any time, whether camping or otherwise. Occasionally, at the very beginning or very end of the season when campground water supplies may be turned off I'll travel with a full tank, otherwise it's unnecessary. I carry four 7 gal Aquatainers in the back of the truck so I can retrieve more fresh water at
my convenience and have a transfer pump system mounted on the trailer that allows me to transfer that water into the trailer's FW tank, again at
my convenience. Since I usually dispose of waste water at the same time I'm collecting fresh water a larger FW tank wouldn't serve me any advantage at all. I suppose if we camped in the desert where FW supply was 100 miles away I might care ... but we don't so for me tank size is a non-issue.
