bam Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 First time going to Doumont over Presidents day weekend. Is there any where that you can fill up with water or do I need to fill up before I leave Vegas? I have heard that the Mad Greek in Baker will let you for a charge. Just want to find out before I go. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceisback Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I think that the UltraMart is now Valero. I could be mistaken... only reason I stop in Baker is for Arby's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Why don't you just fill your water before you leave? Does the weight difference matter that much? I have never wanted to have to worry about where to fill up, no matter how far of a drive it is I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never wanted to have to worry about where to fill up, no matter how far of a drive it is I have. sme here. used to worry about filling up somewhere else, got a better tow vehicle ,and don't haveto worry about it the only thing you have to keep an eye on, and its only in extreme temp swings, are the clamps for the fresh water pipes coming loose, and losing your water all over the freeway easy repair though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete, if I remember correctly from working on the race car, gas and water is 7lbs. per gallon.........do the math, that's a lot of weight that could save on gas consumption. Although I fill my tanks before I leave my house, some may not want to. I'm just saying................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinicolada Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 We took a trip up to Utah one year and I thought why should I carry all that weight up there so I did not fill the water tanks when we got to the camp area they had no water that really stunk now I bring it with us all the time and like Pete said it don’t make that much difference when your pulling 10.000lbs or so.
