The one thing you have to remember is that for every gallon of water you put in that fresh water tank you are 8.5 lbs to your total weight of the unit while towing it down the road. At even adding 50 gallons you'll be adding 425 lbs to your unit. I normally run with about 1/4 to 1/3 of the fresh water tank full incase we pull over at the rest stop and don't want to use their facilities or need to stop along the way somewhere and use ours. I have only run full fresh water tank once and that was from a campground we stopped at the night before going into Quartzite for the Circling of the Montana's and we only traveled a short distance then to get to the Circle. We do fill it partway while staying at our winter campground in AZ but that is just incase they have to shut off the water to do repairs (which usually happens because someone backs or runs over a water faucet in the park) or incase it gets a little colder than we would like it too and we have to disconnect our city hookup because of freezing temps in the night.
