Most of the SP, FP and ACE campgrounds I've been to have potable water on the way in, so I'm not sure why you would travel any distance with a full f/w tank, it's just unnecessary weight to carry. I have bottled water, a 1 gallon bottle next to the toilet and maybe 1/6 tank on board.
My rig does not have a freshwater fill, just a siphon tube that serves dual purpose to fill the tanks, of add the pink stuff, depending on how the valves are set. If I travel over 1/2 full it will spill out the overflow.
Also I would never cap off the overflow for fear of bursting the f/w tank, even a valve is just one more thing to have to remember.
A lot of us boondock, so traveling with out fresh water is not an option.
