With respect to your other point; I need to research those tank with pump options. That would be a nice option which would totally alleviate my water issues.
The problem with using a single large tank for collecting fresh water is having to haul it in & out of the truck for a camping trip and where to store it at home when not in use. I instead use a set of 7 gal Aquatainers which weigh nothing when empty and simply hang on my garage wall when we're not camping. K.I.S.S.
I agree about using one of those big bladders, who the heck want to drive around with 400lbs of water in the bed of your truck when you may not need it all. I only use 6 of the aquatainers(30 gallons) and they hang out in the KZ's bathroom tub/shower. Seems silly to pull them out every trip when I use them every trip.
Regarding filling the KZ's FW tank I use a small 12VDC bilge pump I got from Princess Auto for $10. Can empty a 20L aquatainer in just a few minutes. Ezee Peeze.
Regarding sweeping off the slide(s). I carry a extendable handle sweeper and squeegee for the awning so cleaning off the slide is a no brainer, can climb right up on my slide's supports and do it.
