Try this before you go. Fill your freshwater tank. Find a container to run water into. Time how long it takes to run out of water. Now you will know how many minutes of pump running you have with a full tank. And if you use a container of a known volume you can also see how much usable supply you have.
thanks for the tip! i hadn't thought of "usable" water, i assumed i'd get the full 33 gallons. will report back how the first trip goes, we're planning just a weekend the first time out, CG only has electric, no water hookups. so there has definitely been some useful information on this forum!
regarding drinking water, a lot of people seem to mention bringing separate bottles/jugs for drinking/cooking/coffee. Is there a reason other than conserving the tank water? Does it taste bad out of the tap or something?
As a kid, we had a trailer (park model) at a seasonal campground, and I remember NEVER drinking from the tap as it always had a funky smell, i assumed it was from the supply at the campground maybe? or the tanks weren't properly flushed/kept fresh.
