New Owner 377RLBH - How much fresh water while traveling?
Hi all,
We're getting our 2021 Jayco 377RLBH next week and getting ready for Boondocking. After reading thru the Owners Manual I didn't find any mention of recommended fresh tank fill for travel. I called Jayco Customer Service and they replied:
The tanks are held in place by straps and are not meant to bear the changes that occur during travel (up, down, left, right etc.). We recommend that you store any fresh water you want to transport into containers that can be stored within the unit during travel, or in the back of the tow vehicle, or wait to fill your fresh water tank as close as you can to your intended site."
I understand that water is heavy and not carrying any water in the tank is great from a load perspective, but, in a practical sense, does seem limiting.
In our prior TT, our usual methodology has been to put 10-15 gallons for on-the-road use, then find water as close to our Boondocking as possible. This could be 5-50 more miles with more water in the tanks.
Fellow Boondockers, what are your thoughts and experiences?
