Drove 2500 miles, 5 states, 4 national parks, 4 kids, without water to save on MPG… 9/10 would do it again..

How much gas did you save going dry? You’re pushing an 8′ x 10′ wall through the air which takes more fuel than a few hundred pounds of water.

Everybody else is zeroing in on water….I’m zeroing in on 4 kids! Congrats on surviving that right there!

IdaDuck:

My fifth wheel rides better with a full fresh tank. I assume because it’s in front of the axles so it increases pin weight. I generally just keep it full while traveling even if we’re going somewhere with water. I like having water just in case and I don’t figure I burn much more diesel due to the little bit of extra weight.

Dragonfruit_60:

I love this sub. The RV life is a dream for one day, now I know about ‘going dry’ and that’s very interesting.

Significant_Parking:

Does that mean you got 7 MPG instead of 6 MPG? /s Looks like a solid rig and sounds like those are memories of a lifetime!

mach82:

You saved nothing on mpg going dry. The problem is aero. Not weight… at a steady highway speed. You’re moving a small house at 65mph that’s the problem.. Drag.

White Sands?
