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).

Neither of which makes any difference at all when towing a travel trailer weighing a couple of tons or more. ;) I'd never consider towing without the water heater tank full and some fresh water in the FW holding tank so I can use the system anywhere at any time. I likewise refuse to ever line up at a campground dump station and always service my waste tanks at home.
I do carry some water if my next campsite is a little bit of distance away for the use of the rest room in case we have to stop for a bathroom break.
I'm in the limit of towing capacity which incidentally, I think, is the sweet spot for weight of the trailer and the tow vehicle. So I'm a little more weight conscious.
