No, just never connect to a bad water system for any reason. Never could understand not filling the water tank.

X2...makes no sense to me.

This is too obvious. There has to be more to it than that.
But then maybe not.

heading to the lake this weekend. just found out that they are calling for boiling water before drinking etc.

no problem about bring some drinking water but wondering about putting this, for lack of a better word, bad water in our tanks.

any advice?

thank you in advance.

Which lake you going to, T-Bird?
Since they've had lots of rain down south, maybe they're talking about boiling if using the hydrants.

If you keep your rig at home, another advantage of keeping your fw tank full is if there's a natural ddisater you have drinking water (Seattle is in an Earthquake zone so we think like that)

thanks so much! never crossed my mind to fill the tank at home!

thanks again - safe travels!

I would not connect to the water at the park. I would carry bottled water for drinking like you planned.

Like others have posted fill your freshwater tank at home.

I would get several 3 or 5 gallon jugs and fill them at home or other known source to use to replenish your water if needed.

This would be the best idea

Every now and then i goto Possum Kingdom state park and they dont have potable water, so i just fill my fresh water tank at home before i go.

Easy peasy
