Trailer Tips: Towing Camping Trailers with Water Tanks

Should I tow my trailer with a full or empty water tank?

Traveling with pull-behind style camping trailers means bringing tons of modern conveniences with you, wherever you go. We must say, if you’ve never spent a night in one of these campers, you need to give them a shot. Even the most “old school” campers among us at 50 Campfires appreciate the comfort level provided by pull-behind campers. These luxuries and comforts do come at the cost of more practical considerations that you wouldn’t find in a tent. Are you new to pull-behind campers and have a few questions about these “considerations?” You’ve come to the right place.

First-time campers using a pull-behind camper trailer normally have questions. We know we did the first time we loaded up to head down the road. With this is mind, we set out to create a series of easy-to-follow, no-nonsense video guides called Trailer Tips. Bob Rogers, from Lance Campers, joins 50 Campfires to explain the ins and outs of everything camping trailers.

Does it really matter if you fill up your water tank at home?

Bob dishes the dirt on this age-old question in the video below!
