fwiw, of the approximately 1,000 pounds of stuff that I take with me, 48 gallons of water weighs 400 pounds.
So, my other stuff weighs about 600 pounds.
40 gallon water tank
6 gallon water heater
2 gallons (approximate) to charge the toilet.
For where we go, I must carry water. I also have plastic containers for an additional 28 gallons in the bed of the truck.
If you arrive in camp with no water of your own, and the campground water is not available, what is your backup plan? Perhaps it is to turn around and go home. That is not my plan.
I have encountered contaminated water at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterrey and no working water pump at a Shasta Lake forest service campground.
If you always camp in RV parks that get their water from a city water supply then the risk of no water is near zero. So you can forgo the 400 pounds of water.
