You will literally not notice any difference with another 10-30 gal of water on board if you fill it.
Being a brand new camper, you WANT to put everything through it's paces as much as possible as soon as possible to root out any warranty issues.
Whether you fill as a matter of course in the future is wholly predicated on how/where you use the camper. But don't get caught up in the rvnet minutia of "you could be overweight with a full tank" BS.
Black tank don't need deodorant unless it does and brand spanking new, I would hope noone left you months' worth of tootsie rolls in it!
It's good to always have a little water sloshing around in the black tank though even when "empty". Helps keep all the solids, not solid so they exit the tank on command!
Super exciting to take the new camper out!
Like I said above, use EVERY feature as much as possible and even run things you may not need to, like the furnace or whatever, to get some use on the components while under warranty.
