Need to know your water consumption or …
Actual tank volume?
Then get this little gadget. About $8.00 at Amazon.

You must have Gabi on water restriction.
Cool device though….

Ron, it’s now $13.95 on Amazon. They must have heard you spreading the word and raised the price.

Ausgezeichnet Ron!
just ordered one. I often want to just add a 1/4 tank of water on my way to or from a campground to keep weight down. Now I don’t have to keep running up-front to check the dash display. Danke!

I use to do the same thing thing when we had a 1980 Liberty, with the 1 large 200 gallon stainless fresh water tank I would just add a little to drive with, it use to belong to my dad, and he gave me a hard time about it and said the bus is 40,000 pounds the water tank is not going to make much difference.

I used to do the same thing boy’s, 1/4 of a tank to run with, but no more, mine stays full.
-
Same here. Fuel and water tanks full before I leave. You never know what is going to happen and if you will need one or both.
-
On fuel, I always leave full and like to fill at half but never go below quarter.

We’ve been trapped twice with little to no water to prove a point to friends, that less water equals better performance and mileage. NEVER Again. I repeat never again. It’s a fallacy! A full tank of water or a few gallons, isn’t going to change our up hill assent speed or mileage. Now detach the toad, 2tons worth, and watch us shoot the hills. Running with little or no water is just a preference. It’s meaningless in the scheme of bus weight.

To say nothing of the complete inconsistancy of owning a 50,000 pound bus and trying to treat it like an economy car.

What a thread … applying and then extrapolating some of the same logic …
1. Oil, trans lube, and antifreeze. You should always be running a few quarts … maybe a gallon or two low.
2. TOAD. Make sure the fuel tank is almost empty when you leave home.
3. Coach fuel. If you’re running pole to pole and not dry camping where you’re going … never fill more than half full and don’t stop for fuel until the LOW FUEL light starts to come on. If you use Gas Buddy on your “smarter than the next guy phone” you should be able to run it until the LOW FUEL light is on steady.
4. Tools. Take all of them out of the coach and leave them at home. If you have a problem on the road someone will come along who will like have tools.
5. Spares. With Amazon Prime … who needs to carry spare parts, pieces, relays, and dodads.
6. Bays. Clean those bays out, you don’t need to take any of that stuff with you.
Geeeeeesh!!!! Next time I bring $48 a pound 15 year aged Wisconsin cheddar to a PC event I’m not setting out. I’ll make selected invites back to our coach based on who travels with full tank.
PS: Do do like the little device for measuring the amount of water used.
