The tank and trailer paid for themselves very quickly. Worth even if only for the occasional emergency when Mile Hi can’t get to you. At Lyons it’s a commitment: $25 a month +5 dollars per 1000 gallons. But I totally understand if you don’t have a truck or the desire to schlep it.
Hi. Thanks for your input. We are thinking along the same lines. My brother and I are going to look at a GMC extended cab tomorrow morning. We have a 400 gallon tank that should fit in the bed. It will require multiple trips to fill our 1800 gallon cistern but the peace of mind is worth it despite the up front expense. Maybe we'll even find a plow that fits so we can do our driveway and be totally self sufficient.
