Ran into my first Dilemma living in the rv...

[wesmagyar]

Where would i get fresh water in town? I am currently in the federal way&nbsp;Washington&nbsp;area and my fresh water tank is about empty. I know where i can dump grey and black water for free but i didnt see any potable water at the rest area the dumpstation is at... any idea's where i can get fresh water for free? i was going to try at churches but figured id ask here first.<br />-Wes-

Most convenience stores here have water hoses out front for washing down the tarmac or pavement after gasoline spills.&nbsp; I've driven up to one of them and used it to spray down my radiator and nobody said anything.<br /><br />I'd bet they'd let you use their water if you gassed up there.

Are you dumping at the rest area near the Fife exit on I-5? The fresh water faucet is just past the dump station on the left hand side but before the RV parking spaces.

I keep a 5 gallon plastic water bottle on hand for those situations. The one's you see in office water coolers. &nbsp;Also a&nbsp;collapsible 5 gallon jug. &nbsp;I can fill those up in many places, or worst case, use a two liter pop bottle to transfer the water. &nbsp;This then also lets you stop at drinking water dispensers. &nbsp;I have also rigged a connection to my water inlet that will then pump the water into the tank. &nbsp;(This last item is really just the process for pumping water tank anti-freeze into the system, but rather than pumping anti-freeze, I was pumping regular water.)
