Glad we had water on board!

On a recent stay down in Oregon at Honeyman State Park a situation developed that made us glad we had fresh water on board. We normally travel with some water so we can use the bathroom or wash up when on the road. In this case it was a longer trip so we brought a bit more even though we would be at full hookup sites the whole time. Glad we did!

On the 3rd day the water was cut off due to a leak in the water main supplying the campground. We shut off the spigot and headed out for the day to see the sights. When we came back they were unloading honeybuckets all around the campground for people to use because the water was still off. I've never been so glad to have water in the tank! The water ended up getting turned back on later that afternoon, but it was probably off for a good 8+ hours.

I'll always be sure we have at least 20 gallons or so from now on!

we always travel with a full/nerly full fresh water tank (65-75 gal). had an experience similar to yours out in Carlsbad, nm one year. pulled into a cg late at night only to discover the cg water system was contaminated with e-coli. ever since then we've traveled with a full tank. be prepared.
