With reference to the question about refilling the water, we sometimes ask the rangers if we can fill at the ranger stations, and they often say yes. We carry a hose, of course. We also carry several six gallon jugs in the truck and refill them at campgrounds. We then haul them back to the trailer. The hardest part is lifting the jugs up to the fill spout!
Lifting the jugs was killing me. When I installed my water filters and pressure tank I installed an extra valve and tee. When I open that valve it lets the pressure side go back to the fresh tank. I then put the winterizing hose in the jug and pump the water into the fresh tank. It lets me use a folding hand cart to move the jugs and leave them on the ground. I have a spray bottle of bleach solution and spray the hose every time before I put it in the jug.
You may already know this but just sharing. My back has developed other issues so lifting 5 or 6 gallons up that high is out of the question for me.
