Looking for travel trailer with 100g fresh water

Hi I'm used to the toyhauler world which has large fresh water capacity. I would like to get a travel trailer and put the toys in the back of my truck and the. Have a hitch on the back of the trailer for bikes.
My dilemma is we mainly dry camp and I am used to having 150g of fresh water. What brands and models have at least 100g of fresh water? I've seen the eclipse milans which have that option but I'm unaware of any else. Thanks

I know moving away from toyhauler but look at the ATC front bedroom 28 footer. Nice and 100 gallons.

Unusable ?

I use the water in my water heater to shower with all the time. :B


I do too.


But there's always 6 gallons in there and no way to get it out. Unless you pull the drain plug. I think the point is that the water heater does not add to your usable water capacity.


Does anyone here really think that Boon Docker doesn't know this?
The :B big grin at the end of his message is there for a reason.
It's a joke, son.

We bring along several empty jerry cans -- when the trailer tank gets low, we fill the cans and dump them into the trailer tank. It works just fine, and there is the added benefit of the exercise -- lifting the cans into the truck, lifting them up to dump into the trailer, etc. -- fun!

Jayco makes several units with 90 gallon water capacity (2 45 gallon tanks over the axles) and I think you might be able to have the extra 45 gallon tank added to other models if you do a factory order. I think Jayco calls this process a "pink sheet" modification when done at the factory.

Many people solve this problem by using a bladder in the truck bed. You could fill it up at the campground, no need to travel with it full, and use it to refill with a 12V pump. Might be the easiest solution.

At that point, gray and black tank capacity become your limiting factor.

You won't get that water out of the water heater if all else runs empty. The pump cannot push water out of the tank if there is nothing to push into it to replace it.

Water heater capacity added to total USEABLE capacity is a bogus advertising ploy. You need to consider it when working up weights, but for usefulness is it not.
