Water tank?
One gallon of water is 8.34lbs. I don't know how big your tank is, but that should help you to calculate the additional weight.

Water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon.
Number of gallon added times the weight above.

I am not sure either but I will check the book and see how big the tank is. We have never had to fill it until we showed up at a campsite last weekend and the water was turned off(in California and in a drought). We see going again for one night so I was going to fill it before we leave. Last weekend we ended up some lake water into it so we could use the toilet.

It's a Salem Cruise Lite - I think it is a 20 footer.

having a 20 in the model number, doesn't mean it's 20' long.
for exact info, need year and model number.

I checked the manual and it doesn't say how many gallons the tank holds. We only went for one night so we just filled it up half way and pulling it was fine. Thanks for all the info.

the owner's manual is generic and will have no such info on your particular model.
you need to get the model number and search the internet for the specs.
can't do anything without the year and model number.
