I just started looking on line at TC's and noticed there are not many units that have more than 30 gals of FW. Those of you that dry camp most of the time which I assume most of you do where do you store extra water?

Which campers besides the Mammoth have 50 gals or more of FW? Is the Mammoth the largest TC on the market? Do you need a DRW truck to haul these campers with higher FW capacity?

Our last three campers have had 50+ gallons of fresh water. If you need to carry more the back seat of the truck is a good place to put your jugs. Use a restraint to keep them in place in case there is an accident to avoid them smacking you.

Try and pack your heaviest stuff as far forward as possible.

We have a Northstar Igloo and we have 40 gallons of fresh water. What really makes that work for us is the cassette toilet, which has its own 5 gallon water supply and that can be used with very little water. We also carry jugs for drinking water and mostly use the FW thank for showers and dish washing. It's amazing how little water you can get along with if you try.

My Host has 60. I think there are other brands with more than 30 as well. I haven’t needed extra water so far.
