x2.
1) when we get to the campground we can relax and enjoy stuff for several days if needed before I need to even think about hooking up water etc, instead of doing the hookups immediately so DW or kids can have water.
2) I can, in most cases, have good clean, soft, and good tasting water rather than relying on what is at a campground, which sometimes is either very hard, or not very good tasting. (yes we do drink from the fresh water tank, and haven't gotten sick!). Just because it's "pottable" doesn't mean it's something you really want to use or drink, just that it's safe to use.
3) and yes we have also arrived to find water not available for a variety of reasons, broken pipes, no power etc. etc. or had power go out while we were at a campground and lost water.
As to mpg, the difference is going to be s small you won't notice the effect anyway. It's about like seeing if an extra passenger affects the mileage when driving in a car.
