<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Colour-code those hoses&nbsp;</strong></h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Mind the water weight&nbsp;</strong></h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Filling up with fresh water before you leave home will add quite a bit of weight to your RV. While this may be necessary if you’re camping off-the-grid, if you’re heading to a campsite with hook ups, consider adding just enough water for the journey.</p>
