traveling with water tows better?
This seems odd to me, but I have come to the conclusion that towing with a full fresh tank of water, the trailer actually tows better. Anyone ever experience this before? It's not night and day be...

Depends on where your FW tank is.
Ours is ahead of the axles somewhere under the pass-through area. Drove maybe 10 miles with it full once. The handing didn't feel safe. I thought I had a soft tire or mechanical problem. Dumped the water at a rest stop (took forever) and it was okay again after that. The extra tongue weight was taking weight off the steer axle and throwing off our Reese DC WDH (cams not centered exactly). Never again for me. We never dry camp so not something to consider.
If I wanted to do it regularly I'd have to adjust our WDH first.
I've read many stories of tank supports breaking away so it's not something I'd want to do anyway.
