    Could always do what we did. Our first trip with the 303, get to the campground get all set and realize we forgot to stop for water. Luckily we took a couple of 7 gallon containers with us. Found out right away how well you can get water in the tank from the Kantleak center. It did a wonderful job.

All that is needed if going to a full hookup is enough to go potty and enough to get you through a night if something should happen to delay you.I have learnt over the 45 years that we have camped if we don't need it or really want to take it, then it stays home. The wife has threatened to leave me home as most of the time I'm not need or really wanted along.
    My comment was directed at agoutdoors who mentions not carrying water so he has less weight to pull up and down mountain passes, etc.
    My point is if you even notice 500 lbs of extra weight you need a bigger truck.
    I know for a fact you wouldn't be able to tell the difference, neither would I.
