I am not quite sure why it's inadvisable to drive long distances with (at least partly) full black or gray water tanks. Generally, when they're full the fresh water tank is empty and vice-versa, at least for me. The general progression when camping is that fresh water becomes darkened, so to speak, through washing and cooking and eating and associated activities, until it's time to dump the black and gray and refill the fresh.
This was my thought as well. If I can travel with a full tank of water, why can't I travel with the same water in my waste tanks?
Sometimes, I even travel home with *more* water, as if I hook up to city water my fresh water tank will still be full and when I leave it's possible my waste tanks still have stuff in them. Generally if I have access to city water I have full hookups though.
