traveling with water

[RTOYZ]

If you know your going to be camping with full hookups, Do you travel with any water in the tanks? If so, how much.

[BigAl74]

If we are heading to a campground with full hookups, I usually put just enough water in so we can use the bathroom if we need to on the way.

if we are going to a place with full hookups, i leave it dry................

we can always tinkle somewhere between here and there..........there is a town every 30 miles for us, and plenty of places to "go"

[hdrider]

 We would probably put in 10 gal if we where headed to a campground with water.

From experience the trailer will tow better with water in it.

We use a motor home, but when we know we'll be using hook ups - I estimate we carry about 10 Gallons.  We may be using some water as we travel, but try to keep down the weight.

I usually retain some water while I drive but, thanks to the Female Astronaut I will start wearing adult diapers to speed up my travel time to the Dunes.  In fact, I think we should have some T.I. diapers for the all day rides in the Sand.  I mean, who wants to stop to whiz and give up all that fun riding time?  Not me!

Think of it, your out having a great time when oop's gotta "go".  The first thing you have to do is find a private area, where nobody gets a peek and nobody gets offended,  no fish get killed, no native plants get poisoned.  When all you have to do is lean back on your bike and smile

[Dune Dude]

I never had a problem with the peeking or someone getting offended.  It was the annoyance of signing  all the autographs and pics.  I need to ride, not be made a spectacle of...

Plus, the benefit of a full diaper will offer some extra cushioning over bumps.

 Seems like when I go to the dunes anymore is raining so all the wet spots just blend in

You may need to have mrs. DD refer to the picture below.........

[Dune Dude]

She does the first one.
Only, I can't get her to powder me after a change!
I have a problem with chafing... 

[DuneJunkie]

I usually retain some water while I drive but,

sorry to hear about that...............

[Dune Dude]

Thanks, I just take Midol and it helps with the cramps...

[RTOYZ]

It's real funny how a topic like this can start off and take a turn like this.

[DuneJunkie]

well, in this crowd you can only imagine where topics and discussions go...........

[Sandflicker]

It must be water on the brain   

Just guessing

[DuneJunkie]

or not enough water and too much Diesel!

[Dune Dude]

I used to travel with the water tanks full.  But, it was causing me to be overloaded.  Be carefull of traveling with the tanks 1/2 full.  Usually they do no have baffles and the sloshing can cause a wild ride coming down some of these mountain passes.   

[DuneJunkie]

DD,  you are speaking of what is called "Free Surface Effect".  and yes, it does mean that weight can shift quickly!
