Traveling with a full water tank

We rarely have more than just a very few gallons in our tank for just a couple of reasons...we always camp with water to the site and the other reason is that water weighs 8.3# per gallon, which is a lot of weight to haul around and decrease already poor mpg.

That story sounds a bit "old wives tale" or vivid imagination, but also sounds like it COULD be possible under the right conditions. If you know you're going to need FW, suggest you wait until you're actually at the CG and use their potable water supply on the way in.

That won't work for people like me. Not only is my FW tank full, but I bring at least another 100 gallons with me in portable jugs.

Seriously, why have a water tank if you can't haul water in it?

Exactly, if you can't haul any water in your tank, why have the tank in the first place? If you're in campground with water, you don't need a tank. :h

And for the posters that say their OM says to only haul water in their fresh water tanks full or empty how does that work? IOW's if I fill up at home and then go boondocking for 3 days and use up half my FW do I then have to run all of my FW into my GW or BW tank? :h Nice use of FW! :S

Here is a novel idea. Maybe the RV manufactures can design and make an RV that can be used for an RV.

What next? A pickup truck that can't haul or tow anything? :S

I think we need a list of RV's that say's in their OM they can't carry water in their tank while traveling. 100% would be scratched off of my list. :R
