Toilet usage

To be clear, the reason so many say not to travel with water in the tank is just to save weight. Water weighs a lot. If you're well within your weight limits, you're absolutely fine carrying all that water. If your close to limits, see if there is a place to fill the water close to where you're going.

DEFINITELY use your toilet and your water. That's the entire point of having a trailer.

I remember when I bought my first trailer, a new Scamp from the factory in Minnesota, and I was pulling it home across the country. I got deathly ill in the middle of the night going across the Ozarks in the freezing rain. We were all sick...even our dog.

The best thing I have EVER purchased was that full bathroom in that Scamp. SURE came in handy that first night...and every single time I've needed it.

Carry a good amount of water and don't be afraid to drop a fragrant floozy pa-two-zy in the e-coli oven when you need to. Don't be afraid to use it.

Again...that's the point of having a self-contained RV.

Welcome to the forum birish21

I'm not sure why you want to go the liquids only route but that's your business. It's your camper, your rules.

I have no need to carry a full fresh water tank but I always have at least 5 gallons or so in the tank to flush the toilet and hand washing while on the road. You could carry water containers to pour into the toilet and hand washing if you wish but that defeats the purpose of having the system you purchased.

ALWAYS keep a little water in the toilet bowl in order to keep the seal wet. About an inch or so. This is while on the road, camping or during storage. NEVER let the bowl seal dry out.

Enjoy your first trip. You'll learn a lot and maybe change a few rules as you go.

RVs are 'self contained' and I use ALL of its facilities.
That includes pooping in the toilet.
