But, the day you break down in hot weather with 4 adults and a 2 month old baby and you dumped water before you left camp to save weight, well you'll never do that again. Always be Prepared!! And carry Water!! Remember..... An unloaded gun is nothing but an expensive rock. Yep. I usually leave about 10 to 15 gallons in the tanks, have 2-5 gallon drinking water jugs full, and a flat of water bottles. Agree to on the guns. I shoot competitive every Tuesday nigh, using a Springfield XDm 40 competition 5.25". My carry is a Glock 19. :)600Views0likes0CommentsRe: Water Source Fill Up Lists...

We also find most gas stations will have a water spigot (and usually hose attached) and we've yet to be told we can't fill up our tank with some water at zero charge after having filled our fuel with them. Of course YMMV. I'll see if their is one along the way... thank you600Views0likes0CommentsRe: Water Source Fill Up Lists...

Really, that's 1120 pounds of water, I'm sure that an extra 1/2 ton would make some kind of difference. Yes it does.... beem there done that... hense why I started the thread599Views0likes0CommentsRe: Water Source Fill Up Lists...

We also traveled with at least a 3/4 tank of water because we didn't make plans and stopped wherever the mood struck. Or, there are many dump stations that have potable water. Find one close to where you're landing. You could also stop at a RV park just prior to you next campsite and ask to fill. Sometimes there's a charge; sometimes not. Nope. Leaving my house for a 330 mile trip.... up some strong mountain grades and simple want to limit my load599Views0likes0CommentsRe: Water Source Fill Up Lists...

sh410 wrote: What difference hauling water vs not hauling. water being a small percentage of GCVW, and no significant change in fuel use. With water and with my off road car that weighs about 2100lbs in the garage area of the toy hauler. It puts my GCVW at its maximum. So it does matter, I. average about 1mpg better without water, and lower temps on my dually when running through mountain passes which most of this trip is... the last time I weighed fully loaded to make sure I was still legal wa 24,500 total. If the trip was flat ground... the difference is negligible.599Views0likes0Comments
