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...

I had heard the same thing that was in the article that 2oldman posted. Why stress your frame or tank straps. I heard that it was the sewer tank that had contents and the frame failed and there was a mess on the highway besides the problem with the repair! I wouldn't do it but only have a little in it when traveling for on the road use of the toilet! Also, there are no baffles in those tanks so they are not made for travel when full, the sloshing around! would cause excessive weight.
Will 2 additional passengers stress your frame? The trailers have a rating as long as you don't exceed it you are fine.
A 1/2 fill tank will slosh a lot more than a full tank.
A full tank does not slosh there is no room for water movement
