Towing with full fresh water tank?

So am trying to plan a trip up to Fairbanks Alaska, going from Port Coquitlam BC up to Dawson City, then top of the world Hwy.
My question is how many run with full water tank, I normally only keep a bit in just in case, but I am thinking on those roads in the Yukon and Alaska it will shake the tank out of it if full.
As when I fill right up the tank expands and the bottom rests on a cross-member, which I would imagine will rub a hole in it, not to mention possibly break the supports and fall to the road, so I think maybe keep it almost empty until arriving then fill up in the nearest town before heading into the rough stuff.
As this will be our first time dry camping because of where we will be.
Thanks

Personally, we tow almost empty if we know we're going to a CG with either hookups or water available. When we boondock, we travel empty as far as possible, then water down close to where we camp. Since we go to the same spot most of the time, it's about 35 miles total from were we fill to our site, but it's also about a 3,000' climb and part is on dirt, so we take it easy.
