Recommendations: #3 - Have some sort of access for the water tank for dry camping. A hole with a door approximately 3 inch by 3 inch (similar to outside shower) should do it. To put water in the tank, you have to open the shell. Both camping sites I went to where I had to fill up with water had severe slope which was less than ideal for filling up with water. The other option is to fill up at home and haul 20 gallons of water for the trip.

----I noticed that the when the TM is closed, one of the the windows is right over the valve for filling the fresh water tank. Has anyone thought about rigging a way to access it for filling through the window--possibly by leaving the latch unlocked? (but I guess this would damage the screen). I sure wish the factory would address this. I would prefer not to haul water for miles and miles, and since I cannot store the trailer at home I really have no option but to fill it at the campground when I get there.
