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...

My 5er has sat for the last 7 months with water tank drained
I will pickup it up June 3rd at Santa Cruz put 10 gal of water and 1/2 cup of bleach in the tank and drive to Vegas then dump the tank and flush it there.
When I leave Laughlin on June 10th the tank will be full for dry camping at Burro Creek BLM campground, When I leave Burro Creek it will have 10 gal in it for flushing and the Grade to Flagstaff
I always calculate where I will be going and fill or drain water as needed.
weight = less MPG so every bit helps

If I put that much bleach in 10 gallons of water and did what you did I would think the bleach odor would be way to strong for me. Also wouldn't you want to fill the tank complete so you were sure to sanitize the entire tank? Just curious
That's pretty strong, but if I read him correctly he is going to just dump it, not use it. I use 1/4 cup per 15 gallons, and I won't use the water even at that concentration. Just run it through all the systems, let it sit 24 hours, and dump it. And at either his or my concentration, I don't think it matters if the tank is full, but it does need to go through the lines.
