A 100 gallon tank; yes. On longer trips, I like to keep the fresh tank at about 30%, filling up when we are close to the turnoff to boondocking. Just enough to use the toilet en route. It really is a fluid situation (yes, that's a pun) that we adjust for each day's sojourn. One other thought is a full tank of water does not need baffles as there is no weight transfer or sloshing around.
