Most state and national parks have water. One thing I didn't see in your weight figures is extra gas for those two generators. I have a Honda eu2000 and it will run about 7 hours just charging batteries but as soon as you start turning on stuff like the TV, coffee maker, hair dryer, electric fan or worse the microwave. Then there is the A/C and that is going to push those generators in series up to 75% load. Figure 5 gallons of gas just to be safe.

We used to not carry water when we had our old tundra's, but now with my new one and airbags i just filler up before we go. Our water tank is just above the front axle on the trailer, so it don't add a lot of weight to the pin. Propane..........we just fill up as well.
I think the OP has the 1st gen tundra, if i remember right so it may be wise to not fill with water until you get there. Just a little trick we've done before. Churches seem to have water, and we've done that before. Used a leatherman to turn it on, and it was dark outside when we did it.
Also filled up at gas stations a few times, they usually don't mind if you buy some stuff there. Campgrounds usually always have water, and if i was only camping in campgrounds i would never travel wet.
Come to think of it, last year going to disneyland we traveled with 1/4 tank of water is all. It's smart to travel with little water when goind long distances, if possible.
Hey droolingmess..........how was your trip in the beautiful rainy weather?
Which way did you go?
