On the X213 the tank is only 26gal, so we usually carry a few 6gal water jugs with us as backup.

Rodandmir: The breather may be hooked up on your TT, but on some it is not always hooked up. Since the overflow tubes also act as a breather vent, I think the factory doesn't always hook up the normal vent. On mine, the gravity fill and breather element are visible on the inside from the cabinet below the kitchen sink. Sure enough, the hose to the breather element is not even there. Only vents through the overflow tubes. Seems goofy that the factory wouldn't hook it up (especially with the leakage problem with the overflow tubes) but that's what happened with my TT.
