Welcome to the forum. Don't have a 2450 RL but we never travel with a full FW tank if it can be avoided.

Depends on whether you are heading out to boon dock or not. If we're headed to a full hookup campground we just travel with 1/4 tank of fresh water or less.

Thanks for the replies. Our previous trailer was a single axle and I have not towed a double.
From Youtube some people travel with water to "settle the ride". I was concerned about weight.
I appreciate the tip about a 1/4 tank. It probably serves the same purpose.
We have a lot to learn and appreciate any and all advice on this forum.
Thanks to all

Keep an eye on tongue weight. Any fresh water you carry in a 2450rl will add to tongue weight.
The fresh water tank is in the front of axles (along with black and bathroom gray water). I left the dealer with a tongue weight of 1000 lbs as measured with a Sherline scale. 1st camping trip with fresh water had a tongue weight of 1200 lbs as measured on a CAT scale.

I love the massive storage in the 2450rl, but it’s all up front 🙁
