I'm not afraid to, but if I've got water at the site it's a heck of a lot more convenient to not have to even think about how much I'm using, plus there's no noise and vibration like with the pump.
x2, who wants to hear that pump a shakin all the time?

I got rid of the vibrations by using pipe insulation where the piping contacted walls, and almost all of the noise went away, so it was a win win.
We almost always boondock or dry camp, so it is natural to leave home with a full tank of fresh water. Two years ago, we were at a state campground and the water smelled horrible. Several of the folks we were there with ended up getting, well, they couldn't wander far from their toilets. We had our normal water, and my DW said we will NEVER leave home with an empty water tank, I of course said "yes dear".
Edit to add: We know we can go through two fresh tanks before we have to worry about our black and bathroom grey tanks, so we don't have to worry about those stupid gauges not working.
