Dumb question as I have never run into this before. Where would I go to fill my water tank when we get there? Gas Station?
Well I always fill mine before I leave the last place I was at....I travel with mine full so if I want to dry camp someplace along the way, I am assured of having enough water....but I have filled at gas stations and I have filled at a McDonalds once, the guy was hosing down the parking lot and I asked if I could fill and he said no problem....when he was finished I just hooked my hose to the hose bib before he locked it up.
I am trying to think of someplace in Moab that would be easy in and out....I would try to arrive there with it full or fill in a gas station in Moab, I am sure they would let you....very friendly town to RVer's for the most part....
Not sure which route you are planning t get from Moab to Jackson - but Streets and Trips show it as 512.6 miles and going North on 191 out of Moab and hit 70 then back on 191 through Price and on over the mountains to Spanish Fork and then North on 15 and up to 80 then East to 189 then up 30 on into Jackson.
I stayed at a small RV Park just South of Jackson which wasn't bad and reasonable...Lazy J Corral RV Park - was $32.00 or so according to my log...it is right by Hoback Junction and convenient to Jackson....
Out of Salt Lake City yu have a long steep climb up Parleys Canyon - no real way around it, but it is three lane all the way up so plenty of space to be in the slow lane...You also have a pretty decent climb on Rt 191 out of Price and it is narrow and curvy but they have sporadic passing lanes so it is doable.
Let me know if you have any other questions...I run around that area a bunch...know most of the roads and have traveled all over Utah!
