Refill your fresh water tanks
- Depending on your travel plans, you may wish to refill the fresh water tanks with
clean water or wait til you are close to your destination and fill up then. Whilst its ideal to travel without water
in the tanks for fuel efficiency purposes, it will depend on whether you have a trusted water source close to
where you are going. If uncertain, always fill the fresh water tanks up to ensure you have plenty of drinking and
cleaning water. If you are planning on using the water in your tanks for drinking, we recommend buying an
inline water filter to improve the quality and taste.
