Towing with Full Water Tank?
Okay I realize that towing with a full tank of water adds a lot of weight. My Cougar has a 60 gallon fresh water tank. I have it at home and am planning on camping Memorial Day Weekend at a State Park...

The water in the tank was sloshing (although full), the movement of vehicle and then applying brakes, well ... water wants to keep moving forward, and remain still when moving forward, side ways too (for example turning corners).
Sorry, a full tank cannot slosh, neither fore-aft nor side-to-side. Physically impossible.
I always travel with full FW tank.
Sloshing or moving?
Filled mine to the top at camp ground and left.
Driving a road with a lot of curves and saw water dripping or running out the side of camper in side mirror, first thought sewer then saw it was coming from back..
Stopped to check it out, thought I had left the lid off fill hole, nope it was coming from the pressure relief hole by the fill hole. Ran some water into the holding tank, no more water out the side.
Might not call it sloshing, but I sure would call it moving.
Never traveled with mine full since.
