Hey guys,
I really would not like to pull anymore weight than I need to, but who does! Is there a way to know if you can fill up close to your destination? There must be way to find out before you get there?
Thanks,
Ben
The “only” negative with carrying your fresh tank full.....is the “slight” increase in braking distance! The additional weight will have little to no effect on fuel mileage. Having water onboard when traveling has many more benefits than negatives!
I see several posts indicating that only the rich can afford an RV with greater CCC! To many of those folks I suggest that a quality used RV, is often far less money than a low quality low CCC “new” unit! We’ve owned / used RV’s far above our “pay grade” for over 30+ years.....because we bought used (preowned)! It simple “boils down” to do I prefer “new” over quality! I just wish our kids would listen to and follow that advice....they would be owning much nicer units and not be taking the huge depreciation losses on their “new” purchases! Our present 5th wheel “new” would have set us back $160 K....we purchased it 8 years old for under $35K. Hey.....it’s only money! memtb
