Yes, they can be a lifesaver! We also keep ours fully stocked in the summer, and change the freshwater tank frequently. If there's a storm where the electric is out, we have no water, either, because we're on a well. It's nice to know that we have a full tank in the 5er so we can use the bathroom without worry! We also have a genny (not an RV genny, but a LOUD contractor-type) that we can use to power the two freezers, fridge & maybe more importantly, sump pump!
We've been lucky in the winter and haven't had any storms that have knocked out our power for any length of time, but again, there's that genny!
Glad you're doing OK!
