I NEVER travel with a full tank of fresh water.
BUT....I DO fill it up when I arrive at a CG just for that very reason of a power failure. Makes me laugh because I usually am the only one in the CG that has water while waiting for the power to come back on! :C
Great Tip OP!
several times I've arrived at a CG that for one reason or another didn't have any water for a while, even when we arrived. (storm, power failure etc.)
We always travel with a full or nearly full water tank. Was nice to have water when others didn't. Personally, even if the CG has water, it's nice to pull in, unhook, and not have to hook up to water/power etc for a while, just relax. Then the next day plug in and hook up water.
Other nice thing is if the water is potable, but not necessarily good water (hard, iron, etc.) nice to have good water on board.
IMHO no reason to NOT travel with a good supply of water. The weight is so little compared to total weight it isn't going to affect mileage enought to notice. I've never seen an RV that said NOT to travel with water in the tanks, and I've done so with a full 50 gallon tank for close to 20K miles and the water tank has plenty of support for the weight IMHO.
