Water weighs 8.34lbs per gallon. My trailer can carry 110 fresh or 917lbs.
Then add batteries, propane, fuel for genset... now all the stuff you pack with. Chairs, BBQ, hoses, tools, bedding, clothes, toiletries, foods, utensils, pots and pans, etc...
There is absolutely no reason to carry 917 lbs of water around with you on the interstate and backroads...go with tanks empty and fill at destination.
and much of what you list should already be in the trailer before you weigh it and then know your NET capacity.
This is the kind of misinformation and overblown hyperbole that makes the new Rv'er so confused.
Sure, if you camp where there are hookups. We love to camp along the river and our state parks don't have hook ups.
And I bet you pass thru a small town within 25 miles of that camp where you could fill up therefore negating the need to haul that weight a long distance.
