Thanks

Thanks for your response and that all sounds reasonable. Most of what we will initially be doing will have water but good idea to have some in the fresh tank for stops along the way. What are you...

I was encouraged to travel with the fresh water tank and also the others empty. I hike and am used to traveling light so curious if others do the same as far as the tanks? If we are going to an area...
