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...

Do the people who only fill water tanks 1/4 also only fill the TV tank 1/4 ? I don't get it unless already over weight. If you got it why not use it.

Frank, why carry weight you don't need to when you're going from a CG with full hook-up to another CG with full hook-up? Saves fuel, saves wear-and-tear on your FW and your TV. Now, if you know you're going to be boondocking, and/or between CG's, sure, fill it up. As I said before, when we do our annual family boondock camp, I tow near-empty to within 30 miles of our site, then water down. Why schlepp over 500 lbs of water uphill 5,500 feet when I don't have to?
