Full fresh, grey and black tanks adds a lot of weight.
Frame damage could occur on some of the newer light weight units. The added weight of the full tanks over rough roads puts alot of extra stress onto the frame.
I normally dump the black and grey tanks when ever I can.
I only carry a full tank of fresh water when I know that we will be dry camping for extended period of time.
I currently have a MH, but had a travel trailer. I could feel the extra tongue weight on my pickup. I kept an eye on my hitch doing inspections more often.
