Why carry all of that weight around anyway. I get water near where I am going and leave the waste at the closest available dump station. While traveling, I keep about 10 gallons of fresh water to be able to use the toilet on the road. I am more than happy to leave black and grey water at the dump station.
The 240 pounds of a full 30 gallon tank is so small compared to the 7500 pound weight of my trailer that it really is completely insignificant. I'll travel full or empty as it happens; won't give a second thought to the weight.
Yes they can break but so can a lot of things. Hasn't happened yet to my 15 year old Prowler. I'm not going to "what if" this decision; if it happens that sucks but "**** happens".
Oh and one more thing: I'd rather drink my water from home than some unknown source on the road, some of which are quite bad. I will if I run out but I always start with my home water.
