How much does the "stuff" weigh that you pack in your TT?

Sorry another newbie question. My wife and I are planning upon buying our first Travel Trailer, so we can start touring the country. Since this is our first trailer, we mainly looking at newer use...

What about the tanks? Obviously the trailer is NOT designed to be towed with all tanks full.

Again, everyone got their own reasons.

As to being logical, mine is I would go empty all my tanks and the reason is that they are just dead weight for me. First, better mpg not carrying the extra weight (counter-argument, the extra weight adds to stability). Second, water whooshing around makes for unstable handling (counter argument for adding stability).
