I try to keep the tank filled as much as possible. I live in SoCal so I don't need to winterize.
It helps when disinfecting the tanks and lines. I don't have to refill.
I keep water in there for the kids potty breaks while on the road.
When we drive long distances, DW will make sandwiches and such and needs a lil H2O for incidental washing/rinsing.
Refilling my 170 gal tank takes a bit and it sucks when everyone wants to get on the road to go camping. If I keep it close to full capacity after each trip, no need to wait on filling the tank.
I know driving with a full tank sucks fuel; however, I never drive more than 3 hours each way to get to camp. At least not yet...
