If you have a legal place you can dump this water without putting it into your tank, this will help. Using paper plates & cups helps too. I keep an empty 2 liter plastic soda bottle in the TM to fill up the water tank, it takes a few trips back and forth to the spigot, but it's not as heavy as our 5 gallon collapsible container. Neither take up a lot of room to pack. We also use the public facilities during the day instead of the TM bathroom.
Keep us posted on your trip and have lots of fun!

Great suggestions. DW hit Walmart today and got a small tub for dishes.
We're three days into this and thus far using FAR less grey water tank capacity than I expected. We'll make it to Sunday with no problem.
Wind came up today and I thought I ought to pull down the awning. 10-15 mph with 30 mph gusts. The gusts worried me. One of these days I'll read a manual before trying to do something. Had a bit of a problem getting the awning to close the final couple of inches then found out that I didn't straighten the support arms. So I opened it up again, undid the knobs on the arms, straightened them out so they locked in place, then rolled it all up again. Worked fine.
More RVs came in today for the festival that starts on Thursday. Saw another Hi-Lo. But most are large RVs or good sized fifth wheels. I can't imagine the fuel bills. Love my new TM!!!!!!
Is there any problem leaving the electric water heater on all the time? I'm assuming that there is a thermostat that turns it on and off as long as the switch is in the "ON" position.
