Fresh Water tanks on new RV's
Has anyone noticed the new RV's have small fresh water holding tanks?
We were about to buy new when I noticed the fresh water tank on a new
30 ft RV was 36 gallons. We would use that up in one weekend and then
have to carry five gal jugs maybe three or more blocks. Have they
ever tried to pour five gals into a four inch hole, its not fun. I bought my last RV because it had 60 gal capacity. What are these manufacturers thinking? We spent an entire day looking at new TT and some even had 30 gal capacity. If the idea is to travel lighter how much more does a empty sixty gal tank weigh over a thirty. Unless they think to be a happy camper you have to travel with full tanks I don't see a reason for it. All of them are doing it. We usually leave a few gals in the tank for the dog and emergencies then fill up at the campground before going to the site. Would anyone let a child
use the outside shower when you only have thirty gals, so what is the
outside shower for? I think common sense has gone out with the sixty gal tank and been replaced with a stupid idea. Our salesmen was a little surprised himself but wanted to ignore the whole issue and get on with the sale. We walked. Our 2008 Springdale is looking
pretty good these days with its sixty gal tank, we can only imagine
the line up at the water supply for owners of new RV's.
