I normally fill the tank before leaving but we don't travel on rough roads. You will have paved highway to Whitehorse and probably to Dawson City (I have yet to travel past Whitehorse). If you are concerned about it, fill the tank half full for washing and the toilet and slow down.
I can confirm paved road to Dawson City. Top of the World Highway is a good gravel road. Better than most of the paved roads in Alaska. The worst part is the canyon just south of Chicken toward Tok. It is steep and narrow in some places. the worst road we ran into was from Valdez to Tok. Terrible frost heaves. We traveled with mostly full fresh water tanks. I filled up when I found quality water. Some places the water quality is questionable. Always carried bottled water to drink. All that said, I know my fresh water tanks are properly supported as I had to fix that last year. We had a blast! Drive slow and you will be fine!
