Many times we stopped where there was no water. And on the road we stopped to use the facilities, plus the ice maker is running.
Some campgrounds the water pressure is low, so we use out of the tank and refill later. if we just over nighting, or in bad weather we may not connect the water or power, use the batteries and or the generator and onboard water. Towed broke down in Ark on I40, parked at welcome center and used on board water and generator for ac it was hot.
Many campgrounds as stated before have bad water sediment, sulfur iron etc. Clogged many filters, so may not connect up at all.
Michigan campgrounds use well water and lots of sediment/mud when a lot of campers or not. The really good filter clog up first that is their job so we may not connect up.
our tank was kept pristine and we drank from the tank and cooked with it and showered with it and washed clothes from the tank water.
The 800 lbs or so of 100 gallons of water will help to smooth the ride too. Always kept the tank full when we could ,except trip to storage, or if headed o=t in a week or too again left the tank full plus drinking water chlorine.
So we kept water i the tank for whatever we encountered or decided not to use campground water or when there was no water. Our well filtered water was usually far superior to the tap.
